  • Radio as Infrastructure

    Ernie’s post the other day about how he’ll be using Radio to update his firm’s News page got me thinking about how flexible Radio really is. Here’s how I use Radio today: As a weblog application. Radio runs on my desktop and uploads new posts to my weblog TINS (just in case you hadn’t figured…

  • File not found – the inside story

    Choose Your 404 “Wow! You get a choice. HTTP Error 404 – Your Choice and one is a movie.” [meryl’s notes][The Shifted Librarian] Erik – just for you. Might be the best of all time. Be sure to watch “The Making of 404: The Movie” – very well done.

  • Perspective

    Miraculously, our two year-old (“two and a HALF Daddy!”) let us sleep in this morning. Probably the last time that will happen for a while. While waiting for him to make the trip downstairs, I saw that I had an e-mail waiting. It was from one of my co-workers. He’s in Kuwait – got called…

  • Merry Christmas!

    I’m settling in for a wonderful evening of food, toy assembling and a sip or three of wine. I’m sure the two year-old will have us up before daybreak, so I’l likely be out of touch for a few days. For everyone reading this, I hope you have a relaxing, enjoyable few days. Merry Christmas!

  • Geek Time: Movable Type on a Local PC

    I played around with Movable Type over the weekend, then went off the deep end and installed Movable Type locally and used Radio to publish it up to the web. This is probably (OK, almost certainly) one of those “because you can” moments that has no practical value, but then again, it might actually make…

  • The Matrix Sequels – Oh. My. God.

    The next five months are going to seem like an eternity. Check out this article on The Matrix in this week’s Newsweek, where we learn: On the climactic car chase in Reloaded (Matrix 2): The ensuing sequence may be the most audaciously conceived, thrillingly executed car chase ever filmed. Sounds like hype, yeah. But you’ve…

  • Lott to Quit

    MSNBC: Lott Steps Down as Senate Majority Leader. He’s staying on as a Senator.

  • Anniversary

    I started this blog one year ago today. Many thanks to all of you who continue to stop by and read.

  • Creative Commons

    I like the idea behind Creative Commons, the license project designed to make the distribution of intellectual property more flexible. Read more about it at their FAQ, or just go ahead and get yourself a license. I just added a button to this site that permits copying, displaying, or performance (!) of work on this…

  • Treo Customer Service Hell

    Well, so much for being excited about my Treo arriving. I ordered the Treo on Monday morning, around 9:30am central. By about 4pm, T-Mobile had approved me for service and I was told: See that “awaiting shipment” in the right-hand column? Just in case you weren’t sure what it meant (I sure thought I knew…
