    Some great spoofs of the recent Apple marketing campaign; you know, the Mac and PC guys. Get ready to make Linux and BSD. It’ll make you giggle for sure. (Via)

  • Quick Updates

    As you may have noticed already, on the navibar to the left, you can now find my del.icio.us links and flickr photos. Hooking up both of them was so easy, I’ve all but forgotten about coding up my own homebrew tools. I’m in the process of evaluating some other blog engines (textpattern, WordPress, Movable Type)…

  • DMB Eye Candy and Bonus

    Cool interview (via) with Fenton Williams, the Dave Matthews Band Lighting Director and Scenic Designer. Some of the lighting plan is determined ahead of show, but most is improvised in real time to keep up with the band. Bonus: linked off the interview above a write up on David Gilmour’s latest tour.

  • Mmmm. del.icio.us…

    Ok, I’m not making any progress on my master plan to reinvent my website. In my grand vision, I’d like to use a single home brew tagging system to cover my blog, links, and photo gallery. But lack of energy and time pushed the delivery date some time into 2010, if make it a rush…

  • Nick Mason, the car guy

    I knew that Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame was into cars, but I didn’t know he was doing new car reviews. Here’s an entertaining article (via NYT DriveTimes) where he reviews a Nissan Micra C+C (not available in the US and probably never will be). He waxes a bit into Pink Floyd history (with…

  • Boilermaker 2006, Let the Good Times Roll

    After a fairly restless night, its finally Boilermaker morning. I set my alarm for 4:45, but snapped wide awake at 4:30. Oh well, a few more minutes to make sure I don’t do something stupid like leave my number or chip behind. A quick run through the shower, then its load up time. I was…
