I learned of Jim Keane’s passing from Monica Bay’s blog last week, and today received an e-mail from Andy Adkins which included a link to the guestbook provided by the funeral home where Jim’s funeral will be. For those that didn’t know Jim, he was an early evangelist for the transforming role technology would play…

I have a Windows Media audio file (.wma) that I’d like to convert to MP3. Anyone have a simple way to do it? Once I have the conversion done, I’ll share the audio — it’s of a recent event that I think people will want to hear.

Saw this in our elevator the other day, and was intrigued: Fish & Richardson is advertising on the Captivate Network. Wonder if any other law firms are doing this? Certainly seems like a great idea: quick ads, captive audience, and almost guaranteed repeat viewings by your audience. (I’ve seen it at least a dozen times…

Last week we had our first t-ball practice: That’s Ricky looking at me instead of the batter… Yesterday was the first game (I’m an assistant coach), and the kids did really well. Of course, I nearly screamed myself hoarse as I implored the kids to “THROW IT TO FIRST!” which works fairly well, until you…

In response to a quote that begins, “Most analysts believe…”, Will Cox responds, “Most analysts are idiots.” Heh.

Too funny: David Weinberger discovers what reality-based really means. Heh. Update: Adding insult to inujury, David’s post shows up in my aggregator as being published six hours in the future: Anyone laying bets on how long before someone points out in his comments that he should get a Mac?

This is just getting out of hand. Please, Howard, I beg you: build the party, let the Republican party marginalize itself. You’re doing us no favors with these repeated insults of our fellow Americans. A wise philosopher once said (or was it Ice-T?) “don’t hate the playa, hate the game.” In other words, focus on…

John Edwards responds to the “flap” over his weekend critique of Dean’s comments regarding Republicans (which I talked about here). The key quotes: We are both talking about the Republicans and their failure to address the needs of working people. We both agree with this basic truth: This Republican president and this Republican majority are…
