Woohoo! I sometimes get part of my Christmas presents early, since I have to point them out (ie, make sure the right thing gets bought). Once that’s the case, I figure I might as well just get it…a couple weeks early, but hey, who’s complaining? *grin* This year, I finally talked myself into asking for […]

One of the things I’m presently fascinated by is online presence and communications management; the interface of IM, VOIP, PSTN interfaces, online conferencing, etc. I’m impatient to enter the world where I can be engaged at any time with the people I want to be, without having to constantly fend off unwanted telemarketers and other […]
*sigh* I hate to say it, but it’s true. We have lost our minds. Is it so difficult to understand that we’re doing what the terrorists want? (read that Schneier link, btw. mindblowing) We’re playing their game…let’s stop! Say it with me (and Kung Fu Monkey, who said it first)…am I scared? Errr, no. And […]
Surprise, surprise…when I submitted this post on a UK man facing jail over photoshopped child porn images to BoingBoing, I was pretty certain it was going to make it. Sure ‘nough.

Ah, this is a priceless find; a review of the new Will Ferrell movie, Talladega Nights – The Legend of Ricky Bobby…at a racing news site (Insider Racing News). It appears that the reviewer has mistaken a satirical comedy (hey, it’s Will Ferrell, folks) for some sort of NASCAR documentary: While all of this was […]
Ah, another day, another outrage^H,^H,^H…er, Net misstep. Jon Udell has received a takedown notice for his custom RSS feed from the webmaster of NPR PRI (note: deliberate lack of link here…they’ve made me cranky). Whiskey…Tango…Foxtrot? Sheesh. Newsflash, Mr. Webmaster; Jon is not STEALING YOUR MP3s. He, in fact, is sending you traffic. Increasing your readership. […]
Playing PC archaeology tonight and cleaning up my home directory. One of the many cool things I’ve found and archived (why delete when disk is free?) are the original mailing list archives of kenzoid-l; my friends mailing list from back in 1998, managed from my account at the awesome (and much missed) io.com! (PrismNet still […]
NY Times: Home on the Range: A Corridor for Wildlife. This would be awesome; I’ve thought about this sort of thing before, and wondered how many people really cared about it. More info at Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y). Also on:
This is awesome — Love Lewisham : It’s as easy as 1-2-3! Imagine the following scenario. As you are walking down your street, you notice some graffiti that you’d like removed.
