We Don’t Need No Stinking Office
A cool story on wired about Delicious Monster, a software company that just sits in a coffee shop all day rather than getting a real office. Sounds like a cool idea, but I don’t think I’d get anything done. I’d go broke on mochas long before I ever turned a profit. Delicious Monster’s main product…

The Dave Matthews Band put up a new site to promote their next album. Not much to see other than a decent video that has some sound bites from all the band members. The teaser bits of new songs in the video sound interesting. The band has switched to another pop producer (Mark Batson), I…

Arcade Games at Home
Interesting article on NYT, Remember When You Wanted Your Own Ms. Pac-man? on the growing popularity of owning your own arcade games. I’d still love to have a decent condition 80’s style game, but with both space and funds lacking at the moment, plans are on hold for now. MAME, gives you some of the…
