Two years before the World Wide Web was a gleam in Tim Berners-Lee’s eyes, I was already a multi-year Internet veteran. And one of my earliest habits online was to see what reviews James Berardinelli had published on Usenet. I didn’t know much about James — just that he posted regularly, I almost always appreciated […]
Autistic team manager scores 6 threes
Wow, this is just amazing. Local news coverage from Rochester is here.
How long before this is on the big screen?
Garmin GPS Map 60cs for sale
If you’re looking for a fully-featured GPS unit, you could do a lot worse than this device from Garmin. I bought it a little over a year ago, and got very excited about geocaching… funny thing is, life with three kids has rather significantly reduced our leisure time. While I have every intention of getting […]
Snakes on a Plane: Countdown
In case you were wondering, it’s now just 179 days until Snakes on a Plane is released in the United States.
I predict this movie will open huge.

Me: “You’re kidding.”
Parking attendant to co-worker: “Jose! You know where the Golden Gate Bridge is?”
Me: “You’re kidding.”
Parking attendant: “Sorry, maybe try Embarcardero?”
I want […]
I’m afraid to click…
… on this entry in my Technorati search for “FeedBurner”:
I mean, it’s probably just because whatever site is responsible for this is using FeedBurner.jp. But I’d really rather not know.
Cheney’s Got a Gun…
OK, dear readers… time to collaborate. Let’s rewrite the lyrics to Aerosmith’s “Janie’s got a gun” to “Cheney’s got a gun”.
Original lyrics here.
Update: Not only am I not original on this go-around, it turns out someone did this years ago. Details here. Heh.
AlexaDex
OK, this is goofy (and didn’t we already do this once with Blogshares?) — courtesy of Mike Arrington at TechCrunch, I just signed up for AlexaDex, a “stock market” of websites based in part on the Alexa site rankings.
I bought 9 shares of FeedBurner, because, to borrow a phrase from the guys at Long or […]
Note to self: stop hacking with Movable Type
Well, my sincere apologies to those of you who read this site in a feed reader… a combination of Movable Type database hiccups and my own inept attempts at hacking the system resulted in a disaster in my feed. It should be back to normal now, but likely errors you would have seen include previously […]
