Taxing

The last month must have been more taxing(no pun) on me than I thought. I haven't really had much energy, either physically or mentally, over the last week. I'm trying to rest myself, and reading some books because that always seems to get my mind into a more active mode.

I found this site to be well done and very moving. It's a tribute to the author's deceased pooch.

Guy Kawasaki has decided to shut down the Evangelist . For the non-Apple people in the crowd, this was a daily email list that spread news of an Apple oriented nature. I guess with Apple's resurgence(their financials look better than Dell's right now), he doesn't feel like there is a need for it any longer.

A group of people have gotten together and are proposing a metric time standard that is loosely based on Swatch's Internet Time. They have added a date element, which Swatch was lacking.

FatBrain.com, an Internet and storefront technical bookstore, is offering $15 off any order until Monday, April 19.

Fonesync lets you synchronize your cellular phone with your PC. It works with the Nokia 6120, which I currently use.

A Hacker's Haunting Vision of a Reality Within Illusion is a New York Times story talking about the basic idea behind The Matrix. To a certain extent, we become servants of anything we create.

Daryl Strawberry arrested, Lakers waive Dennis Rodman. These athletes have the world in the palm of their hands, yet they throw it away on the smallest of things. It bothers me.

The Industry Standard has fantastic infographics in every issue. Recently, they began to sell them as Powerpoint slides from their Web site . A great idea. They kept the cost down, but the information is for a very specific group of people. It differentiates the information and makes it unlikely that they will have competition for this specific idea.

I'm currently looking for a new host for Bump, if you wish to recommend a hosting company,mail me. I'm looking to resolve multiple domains to a single directory, and I must have my own mail server. Database integration via Cold Fusion is something else I would like, and I need to have access to a RealAudio server.
