Well, I’m off to the gym. The combination of new broadband and Radio Userland has made me want to get much more active posting wise. One of my neighbors just fixed a loose board in the fence in my backyard just because he had his tools out. Nice people these neighbors.

CNN: Atlanta test-drives the ‘Segway’ transporter Damn I wish I had known about this.
Apple posts AirPort Admin Utility for Windows [MacCentral] I find this surprising in a way. If MSFT came out with something like the Airport, they would probably lock you into administering it with their platform. Then again, they can afford to do that.
Digital Web Magazine: Building the Business Game Plan “Process: either you love it or you hate it.” Amen to that. Constantly evolving a process while getting work done is tough work for everyone.
According to this article, Earthlink has been building a high speed wireless network here in Atlanta to test this new service out.
Lord of the Rings in 2 Hours It contains some hilarious lines like this one from Saruman: “See, all I had to do was cross out “Good” on my business cards and write “Bad,” and I’m all set. "
“css/edge is intended, first and foremost, to be as relentlessly creative with CSS as we have been practical all these years. It does not exist to present or explain safe cross-browser techniques; in fact, almost the opposite. The goal here is to find ways to make CSS live up to its fullest potential, with only minimal regard to browser limitations.”

I am now using Dave’s new tool to mirror posts between regular Bump(currently powered by Blogger) and Radio Bump (currently powered by Radio Userland). So you can choose to visit either and you will get all of the content for the time being. It just worked on the first try. That’s Cool. Really.

BTW, there is also Radio Bump right now. I am updating both. At some point, the new backend and all of the posts will return here. In the meantime, there will be construction debris over there. Also, I finally have high speed Internet at my home.
ORANGE COUNTY is the early frontrunner for the worst movie of 2002. Jack Black was the only thing that makes this movie worth seeing, but there isn’t nearly enough of him to justify his billing.
No More Popup Ads This site gives a listing of links that will allow you to opt out of pop up ads from a variety of ad networks. Very useful. Just posting it here in case you haven’t seen it the other hundred places it is posted.
I’ve been spending most of my computer time this weekend playing with Radio.

After getting laid off in October, I have spent the ensuing months getting my act together and evaluating my life. I also spent a real lot of time with my family, and a smaller amount of time fighting with my previous employer over my severance and accrued vacation. (That matter is now in the hands of the courts.) I’m turning a corner now though, ready to return to the working world, ready for the structure of work. Next week I will begin my job search.

The next generation TiVo seems pretty uninspired to me. I suspect that the game consoles are going to be what wins this whole digital media center battle. I bought an Xbox a couple fo weeks ago, and it is only like three steps away from having the features that the TiVo has. It has the necessary hardware now. Having said that, I remain skeptical of the whole media center idea. Unlike a better PDA, I do not find myself waiting with expectation for this stuff.
