The Onion has moved to New York. Am I right in thinking that this will make The Onion less funny over time as they lose their perspective and start making jokes that will only be funny to New Yorkers?
For fans of the Iron Chef and Legos, It’s Lego Chef. (via iconfactory)
Macromedia and Allaire merge. Interesting combination of solid software companies who, while they have some overlap, will be very complimentary to each other’s product lines.
I’ve been using Paytrust for my bills for the last six months. I highly recommend the service, it makes paying everything on time very easy, especially with all of the travel I’ve been doing. One downside, I don’t go to my mailbox as often so it’s always full. The postage and convenience is worth the $9 a month.
There’s nothing like being home after a long business trip. I’ve spent the last 24 hours, since I got home, cleaning my apartment and watching my New York Giants crush the Vikings. Feels good.
Microsoft’s new Sharepoint Server looks like a very interesting combination of their domination in the business document creation space with an indexing and collaboration engine. I’m wondering if it’s limited to Microsoft Office documents or if they had the forethought to realize that people use other tools in an office environment too. Even more interesting is that it will also crawl sites for you, and delivers it all to one portal page. I’m going to keep my eye on this.(I don’t have a Windows 2000 server to evalute it on.)
I guess I should just say now that, I must have one of these.
Well, after four straight days in all day meetings, needless to say I’m pretty mentally worn out. I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night, and I’m hoping to sneak a day off into my schedule this week so I can get a little rest. I did get to read a pretty good book on this trip named The Game of Thrones. Anyone who enjoyed the Robert Jordan books will surely enjoy this book. I’m reading the second book now, and it seems just as good. An interesting mix of politics, culture, and sword play.
So I am traveling yet again, this time I’m in Northern California for the next week. I’m hoping to catch up with some Bay Area friends and maybe get to spend a day at MacWorld, but work keeps getting in the way of my fun. On Monday, they have me flying down to San Diego for the day to work on a project.

Have a safe New Years Eve. I mean that. I’ll be back tomorrow with a year end wrap up.
Via Zeldman, Mappa.Mundi Magazine is back online. A great site that has some incredible content.
My copy of The Art of the Matrix arrived this morning. This is a must have book if you are a Matrix fanatic. It includes the storyboards and comic type treatments that were used in making the movie. Really high quality stuff and very interesting to compare to the final products. I’ve now dug out the DVD and am going to spend this afternoon in a Matrix induced haze.
Meg and Ev make the New York Times with Invasion of the ‘Blog’: A Parallel Web of Personal Journals.
For the head of the company, Jeff Bezos has a remarkably long Wish List. Maybe he’s trying to drum up some business.
I’ve got some issues.
The Standards Process: Money Talks, Bullshit Walks is a great commentary on the difference between standards theory and real life practice in code.(via Scripting News.)
All of the Pocket PCs Software List is the place to find Pocket PC software. If only finding someone with the accessories for the iPaq was this easy.
When Media One got bought by AT&T Broadband a few months ago, I had hoped that the service would improve, as Media One has been really really bad. Cable service is interrupted on a regular basis. Today, despite a confirming phone call about my appointment last night, they decided to not come out and service my cable. This terrible customer service is the most compelling reason for me to go with some sort of dish solution. They weren’t apologetic at all, and wouldn’t work with me about the reschedule at all. More evidence about the disturbing decline in customer service in today’s corporate world.
