Wow, I really didn’t do anything in May. There were goals and ideas about what I’d like to accomplish—technically, athletically, and musically. I have accomplished nothing, primarily because of laziness, but also because I got sick twice during May. Number of constructive musical practice sessions: 0 Workouts: 0 Chapters covered (Javascript review, Ruby on Rails, […]
CBS Corporation has purchased Last.fm. $280 million? Wow. (<nod target=”Metafilter” />). I’m a last.fm subscriber and have been for quite some time. Many of my friends are there, but I don’t interact much with last.fm. I primarily just listen to music in my local iTunes Library and check out my charts on Last.fm. I wish […]

Cory Doctorow tells of his experience with Fox Rent-A-Car in Oakland. I’ve had pretty good luck with Fox. It’s generally the only rental car place at the San Jose airport that will take my debit card (I also don’t carry a major non-debit credit card). That must have changed recently. But, when I read Cory’s […]

Ozreiuosn came by this evening to hang out, play video games, and eat some food. After snooping around on Yelp (on which I am behind on my reviews from a road trip and the time since), we found an Italian joint called Luigi’s Pizza and Pasta, which has 4½ stars. So, off we went. Holy […]
While I’m at it and I’m feeling complainy (to coin a word), I have a feature request for Safari. Safari is fast and it’s standards compliant, but there’s one little behavior that it exhibits that will keep me from using it on a regular basis for real, productive browsing. In Firefox, speaking of tabs, if […]
One of my primary browsers is Flock. I’ve met a couple of people who were at the forefront of the browser development personally. In fact, after a get together in San Francisco, I gave two of them a ride back to hotels in the Valley. Every once in a while, I load down Flock with […]
A few days ago, I was noodling around the web, looking for cool new software for my Pearl and I somehow stumbled across JaikuBerry, by Richard Todd. I downloaded it to try it out on my little black device. It didn’t work. I read the FAQ, tried to figure out how to make it work, […]
About 7 months ago, Tower Records went bankrupt. The nearby store in Mountain View closed its doors. I’ve been an eMusic subscriber for a few years and, between Amazon, Amoeba Records in San Francisco, and eMusic, I hadn’t been to Tower in quite some time. A couple of months ago, Rasputin Music bought the Tower […]
