Meg’s post this morning about the sadness of losing her coffee guy made me think about my own similar loss. When I moved, I lost my trusty coffee shop crew that knew me from seeing me every day for two years. I haven’t settled into a new coffee shop near my new location because no one seems friendly even when I am. Well, I guess I could start brewing my own.
Derek becomes the latest addition to the all-star Pyra team. It’s incredible this team they have assembled.
This article uses an interesting analogy between browser market share and the 50 U.S. states. Since I’m from Connecticut originally, I couldn’t help but link to it.
Don’t forget that you can email me wherever I happen to be at the time at palm@bump.net
I should mention that I am constantly amazed by my brothers. They are, as a group, some of the most talented and interesting people in my life. Each of them has so much going for them that I am in awe every time we all get together.
I read Who Moved My Cheese? on the plane on the way back from Rochester yesterday. It’s a good, very simple and easy to read book on dealing with change effectively. It’s worth a read if you are going through any kind of difficult change in your life, or even if you aren’t right now. It is, however, a little simplistic.
Jack launched a new, San Francisco style, saturn.org redesign today. In his new bookmarks section, he talks about what a funny guy I am, but he somehow missed how good looking I am.
Of course, I’m sick now. That would be because I have pushed myself to the limits of my stamina for the last month. Also because I was already a little sick when I started doing those tequila shots with my father and brother this weekend. It was a fun weekend, despite the fact that my brothers team lost in the NCAA tournament. I stepped off the plane and right into work. I’m thinking I should cut out early and get to bed early tonight, but there’s so much to be done.
Don’t take this link the wrong way. I am not researching revenge techniques and I do not endorse using the techniques listed on the site. There is no one in my life that I would do these things to or want to do them to. However, they do make for some comedic reading and some would be a great basis for a movie script. Swift Vengance is a compendium of revenge links.
3d.com is giving away Strata3D. Previously, it was a fairly expensive package.
This Village Voice article is an excellent explanantion of what is going on in the Corley vs. MPAA case.
Today’s installment of the Elian saga is happening a block from my office and caused street closings and forced me to take the train to work instead of driving. Now, not only is it annoying, but also inconvenient. I walked over and took a couple of shots, but things seem pretty subdued.
My youngest brother, David, is attending Hobart College, and is on their lacrosse team. They made the NCAA Division I tournament and will be playing Duke this weekend in their first round matchup. I’m traveling up to upstate New York to see the game and spend some time with my family. Go Hobart!
Apparently, the Internet can improve relations with family and friends, which is pretty far from the study that said it created isolation. There’s a happy medium to anything you do.
I went and played Walleyball with a group of people from work and some others last night. For those not familiar with the sport in question, it is essentially Volleyball in a Racquetball court where you can play off the walls. It was a really fun time, and a nice change of pace from my normal cardio and weights workout. Strangely, I couldn’t find many references to Walleyball on the Web beyond purchasing equipment and various places that have the setup to play.
I just discovered that Aimee Mann is playing in Atlanta in June. Our lucky San Francisco friends get to see her this week.
Strangely, when I log onto Napster now, there are still plenty of Metallica songs up there.
File under “not surprising to me”, my color is Black.
Some great Web, dreamweaver, and development tutorials on this site.
Steven Champeon takes Microsoft and Bill Gates to task for comments made in a Time Magazine article. I couldn’t have said it better myself.(via rc3.org)
The supermarket down the street from my house now has a self checkout system where you scan the items you are buying, then insert either cash or card based payment into a machine. It works really well, and it’s much faster than waiting in line. I was buying beer, so I still had to show my ID to the single employee overseeing the self checkout area.
What’s up with array?
Macromedia has posted more in-depth information about their upcoming Dreamweaver UltraDev, which supports both Cold Fusion and Active Server pages development with a variety of industry standard databases.
brig’s redesign is my favorite EatonWeb so far.
