It’s been a year now. Hard for me to believe.

Wired News: Note to Sony: Skip IPod Knockoff I couldn’t agree more. I don’t think they could enter the hard-drive based MP3 player market with a product that would be that much better than the iPod at a much better price. It would be better for them to concentrate on where the market is obviously going to go rather than fight a losing battle in this round.

O’Reilly Network: Ten Things I Dig About Panther

TinkerTool 3, which is compatible with Panther, has been released.

I have a confession to make. I still haven’t seen The Matrix Reloaded. I was supposed to go see it on the day it was released with everyone from work, but a server emergency prevented me from going. Since then, I have somehow avoided spoilers, and I am looking forward to seeing it this week when it comes out on DVD. For some reason, I have developed an intense dislike of going to see movies in the theater. It may have something to do with the last year of my life being the first in something like ten years where I was single, and I really haven’t dated all that much. I also would rather spend the money I would spend on going to see a movie in the theater towards a DVD that I can watch over and over if I want to. I’m sure that, for some movies, like The Return of the King, I will make exceptions, and I might even go see Kill Bill this weekend, but for the most part, I’m not going to the movie theater if I don’t have to.

If you are a fan of mash-up mixes, and I know that you are, you owe it to yourself to check out reset. I liked the “solid state” and the “hack to mine” mixes the best. Know of other good mash up mixes or mix sites? Talk about it in the tribe.

I’ve rapidly become addicted to Tribe.net. It’s real similar, at first glance, to Friendster, but they have added a bunch of community features, most notably the tribes, to the mix and it makes all the difference in the world to me. The site is faster and more reliable than Friendster as well. If you join, you are more than welcome to identify yourself to me as a reader of this site and I will add you as a friend in my network. Update: I have also created a tribe for people who read bump.

Wow, lots of handhelds being released this fall.

I am not a fan of the Tall Rum and Coke so much. I am more of a Jim Beam and Coke sort of guy. Having said that, I do sometimes enjoy a tall rum and coke, but very rarely.

I finally got around to posting the photographic evidence of the huge hole on Jupiter that Brian fell in, and the insanity that ensued.

I went to the Cubs vs. Braves Playoff game last night with some friends. It was a lot of fun, and the closest thing I can get to the American League playoff baseball that I really want to see. It was interesting to see the contrast in the fans of the two teams. There were several thousand Cub fans, some who were Atlanta transplants, and others who had travelled from Chicago for the game. Braves fans tend to be a bit more gentile than I am used to, being from the Northeast. The Chicago fans were more boisterous, and they have every right to be with their history. As a Yankees fan, it was sort of fun to go to the game without a pre-disposition to be a fan for either team. Overall, it was a fun game, what October baseball should be all about. I’m not so secretly hoping that the series will go five games so that I can see another one. In the meantime, you can be sure that I will be glued to my television set for the game tonight.

The Yanks lost. I guess I just have to relax a bit and realize that the Twins are a real solid squad, and hope that the Yanks can pull off a win in Minnesota. Interesting fact in the article about how bad the Yanks record is in day games.

The Yankees start their post-season run this afternoon against the Twins. I’ve been a Yankee fan pretty much my entire life, and the franchise has a history and spirit that most other franchises could only dream about. Here’s hoping they make a run, despite their aging pitching staff and the way the Twins have been playing the last couple of months. I’d love to see them face off against the reviled Red Sox in the next round.

Cameron Barrett has taken a gig as one of the bloggers working on General Wesley Clark’s campaign blog. It’s great to see one of the people who was blogging in 1997 get one of these higher profile blog jobs. I’ve known Cameron since those early days, and met him for the first time at SXSW in 2000. I’m really happy for him, he’s the perfect guy to take campaign blogging to the next level.

If, by chance, you are walking down Juniper in Atlanta, please be sure to be careful. There is a large hole in the ground/sidewalk, and you may fall into that hole, and get stuck, and have to remove your shoe in order to get out of the hole.

Paul’s Boutique Samples and References List. Wow, a lot of work had to go into this. One thing I have always loved about the B-boys is that I can follow the cultural references in their work to things that I will enjoy.
