I finally am getting high speed Internet access at home.
Mailstart lets you check any POP3 email account from a Web based interface. Very handy if you travel or can’t check your home email any other way from work.
“I never half step cause I not a half stepper.”
The new Kaliber 10000 episode is fantastic.
f**kedcompany.com - the dot-com deadpool Perhaps not the nicest domain and site name in the world, but the idea of a deadpool for Internet companies is a thing whose time has come.
You keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means… You can find the entire script to The Princess Bride here
My brother’s band, Die Laughing, played two songs on yesterday’s Trackers show on the Oxygen channel. They were really good. Someone should offer them a record deal. You can check out some of their material over at MP3.com
If you’ve got some time to burn, this links page points to some of the best designed sites on the Web.(Thanks Pepe)
extralucky.com is great. The splash screen is fun, and the actual content and design within the site are great. It’s one of those sites I have a feeling that other people have known about all along and I somehow missed the boat.
I should qualify this by saying that I use both Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator on my Macs. I tend to use Internet Explorer a little less, but it depends on what I’m doing at the time. I really really do not like when a site tells me that the browser I’m using isn’t the right one, and that I can’t access their site unless I go and download the right browser. To top it off, they are a technology and design publication, they should know better. Shame on you. Even worse, you’ve cut off half of all the Macintosh users that might come to your site. I guess there aren’t many Mac users in the design space:-)
People who are deprived(like those of us in Atlanta) can now purchase items from Urban Outfitters online.
I can’t believe that Photoshop 6 is on the horizon already. I guess Adobe has got to keep their revenues up. Meanwhile, for Web work you could be using a version two or three years old and get the same job done.
I got a great pair of shoes from this company in the half an hour that I got to shop in New York over the weekend. Looking through the company’s Web site, it looks like I might have finally found the replacement for the Simple Shoes that I’ve been faithful to for years but are a nightmare to find now.
TradeUps.com lets you trade in your old computer equipment for new equipment.
I’m listening to A Perfect Circle, Maynard from Tool’s new band. It really has a Tool feel to it because of his voice, and it has the same sort of tribal backbone that Tool has. If you like Tool, you will like this CD. Their site is pretty strong too.
I’m spending fewer and fewer hours in front of the computer right now, and I think it’s really doing me some good. In addition to losing 35 lbs.(I made it to my first goal of 195 lbs. last week), I’m reading more books and spending more time working on myself. This week, however, seems like it will be a little different due to my workload.
I haven’t been answering email in a timely manner recently. If you are one of the dozens of people I owe email to, I apologize.
I’m so tired of traveling. Thankfully, I won’t be doing any more in the near future. Over the Memorial day weekend, I continued my string of 5 straight weeks with a plane trip somewhere for three days or less. I participated as a groomsman in one of my best friends in the world’s wedding. It was a great time, and so very nice to see two people who are meant to be together make it official. Deb and JC, I wish both of you the best in your new voyage together.
One neat thing we did with our very precious and tiny free time in California was go to the IKEA store. I can’t understand why IKEA insists on making it so difficult to obtain their merchandise. If you don’t live near one of their stores, and you missed the last catalog run, forget about it. They won’t ship merchandise you purchase at the store for you, and they don’t take orders over the Internet. I need furniture for my apartment.
Where have I been? Traveling. Two red eyes in three days with a lot of meetings and important decisions in between. I got to spend about one day in San Francisco last week, and I returned to Atlanta on Saturday. It looks like the big changes in my life haven’t ended yet, but I can’t talk about the newest developments here yet.
Ev mentioned this new Web service, OnePage which serves as a sort of content collector and lets you grab content from any site and republish it on a single page. Can anyone explain to me how this is not copyright infringement? This service is taking copy from sites and republishing it without the owner’s permission.
You know what I hate? When my computer crashes.
