Well, I’m finally getting ready to go back to work tomorrow, after the holiday break. It’s been a whirlwind of travel, family, friends, get-togethers, etc…including the inevitable after-Christmas shopping. I really am at the point now where I have too much stuff, and one of my goals in 2009 is to trim down, ala Bruce […]
As I continue to explore the potential of my G1 googlephone things continue to surprise me, which I like. In particular, I’d been chomping at the bit for some of the first podcatcher apps to come out; I listen to a lot of podcasts. Unfortunately, the apps haven’t hit the sweet spot, though it’s not […]
So…I bought an Android G1 a few weeks back; in fact, on opening day (though I didn’t go completely crazy and pre-order. *grin*). I’ve been interested in the phone-as-computing-device/portable-always-on-computer paradigm for a long time; I had a Newton, the original Palm, several of the Linux Palm-wannabes (that weren’t), and a Nokia 770. The notion of […]
Voting went well today. I got up early to try and be in line when the site opened, but I actually ended up running a little late, and got there about 7:15am. It was pretty impressive; there was quite a line: This is FAR longer than any line I’ve been in since I’ve been voting […]
Nifty…the new site MTV Music may very well make a run against YouTube’s massive collection of music videos. It’s easily searchable, doesn’t have to worry about takedowns, and not only includes a bunch of the oldies (80s FTW!), but they’re also embeddable. People may finally be starting to get a clue! Without further ado, a […]
I saw Religulous last night, and really enjoyed it. It’s a comedic version of Dawkins’ God Delusion…or more properly, his Channel 4 documentary
James Bamford is the author of the classic The Puzzle Palace, the first book to open up the history of the National Security Agency (NSA) for all to see. It’s an amazing book, which the NSA attempted to squelch at the time of it’s publication, and is a must read if you’re at all interested […]
TIme to get back in the saddle. The past few months have seen me slip out of doing my podcast, then out of writing here on my blog, and even finally out of commenting much even at sites like Friendfeed. I’m hundreds of posts behind in RSS feeds, and I just generally feel a bit […]
I know…it’s early; we’re so far less than a day into Olympic coverage. But this is just broken. I’ve often heard that even as the Internet becomes more of a venue for video of various types, that the last stronghold of broadcast will be live events, and especially sporting events. Because no one wants to […]
Light post today…I’m doing some Saturday stuff for work, so my SCOTUS post can wait until tomorrow. *grin* I did want to note, however, that a) my Disqus comments are live, fire away folks! *grin*, and b) leaf/lawnblowers make podcast listening impossible! Let me explain. Podcast listening is something that happen in many environments…you can […]
