Let the count-down begin: the book is available in just over 8 weeks! In case anyone doesn’t remember me raving about Daemon, here’s my original review, and January’s follow-up post discussing the soon-to-be re-released…

University of Richmond Law School
Image via Wikipedia Though I don’t practice law, I’m a proud graduate of the University of Richmond Law School – it was an extraordinary three years of my life. It was there that I really learned how to think critically, learned how to argue (much to my wife’s chagrin), and learned how to be an…

Twitter list word cloud

What Would Augsburg Do?
A couple weeks ago I attended the fall board meeting for Augsburg Fortress. Augsburg is a publisher affiliated with the ELCA, which is the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.

Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Fox
Robin surprised me with tickets to see Rodrigo y Gabriela last night. They were playing at the Fox in Oakland, which is a stunningly beautiful venue. I found RyG based on a recommendation on Marc Andreessen’s blog a couple years ago. (Marc – what’s up with the lack of archives? Where’d all the good stuff…

First post on SideWiki
Just installed Sidewiki in Google Toolbar on my Mac. A feature I had missed when this was available internally (ironically) was the ability to copy your annotation to your blog; beneath the edit window for your Sidewiki comment, there’s a “My blogs on Blogger” element; pick your blog, and then your Sidewiki comment is auto-posted…
