Final: USA: 3 Russia: 2 Russia gave the US the business, but somehow the US pulled it out. Such effort, such great play. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s Canada vs. USA gold medal game. It should be one for the ages.

USA:3 Russia:0 End of the second, and I can’t believe what spirited defense and team play we are seeing from the US.

USA: 1 Russia: 0 after one very hard fought period. Great hockey, worth watching.

Okay, time for hockey.

weberrific weblog: “Je parle français comme une vache espagnole.” Hehe, this was my favorite phrase from French class in high school, well right after le bebe foque. (That’s baby seal to you and me.)

pb at onfocus says: I wish there was a test to determine which identity tests I should be taking. There are too many. I think learning which Backstreet Boy or piece of furniture I’m most like would give insights into my personality, but which tests would be most useful for a busy professional like me?

Netjuke: “The Artekopia Netjuke is a Cross-Platform & Web-Based Audio Streaming Jukebox powered by PHP 4, an increasing choice of databases and all the MP3, Ogg Vorbis and other formats files that constitute your digital music collection.

Great discussion about personal Web archiving over at Hack the Planet Prime.

Well, I’m off to buy lightbulbs and breakfast cereal, or maybe I’ll buy oatmeal and a new battery for my car.

Pete’s News Page (where I found the link below) is a great place to keep up to date with Mac OS X pro audio news. He also has written some useful Mac OS X software for midi devices.

Somehow I missed the fact that Evolution released Drivers for OS X for my USB keyboard.(The music kind, not the qwerty kind.)

pic2icon lets you convert pictures you have lying around, say of your cat or you significant other, to Mac OS X compliant icons. People seem to find it strangely annoying to see their face on your desktop.

I’m going to Costco this morning. It’s become something of an addiction that I picked up from my mother. Where else can you buy the latest Xbox game and a lifetime supply of toilet paper? Or a new pair of jeans and five pounds of smoked salmon? Regardless, I make sure I eat before I go there now.

For you news hounds that aren’t using something that aggregates news like Radio, AmphetaDesk seems to do what Radio does on the news aggregation front, and it’s written in PERL.

CNN: S. Korea considering speed skating lawsuit Okay, I saw the replay last night, and I’m no short track speed skating expert, but they read the rule, and it seemed like he did break it. Definitely a judgement call though, and it must be tough to swallow when you work as hard as these athletes do towards a goal.
