At work, the challenge that has grown over the last several weeks is how to tell a story. Well, not only how to tell a story, but what is the story? And who is the audience? We’re trying to take another step forward, and we’re not sure which direction to start moving. With my mixed/confusing…

It takes a bite out of my normal sleep, but I’m getting out for a run again this morning… that’s always worth it. Especially since I’m meeting my college acquaintance, so I know I don’t have to go it alone. Miles pass much faster with a companion, though the clock doesn’t always agree.

This morning I got my son to type his name, as well as MOMMY and DADDY, in BBEdit 7.0. I’m a proud parent, but I’m also aware that I’m probably starting something I may not be ready for: more competition for the computer. That will finally push us to be a two-computer family… which wouldn’t…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: read Tim Bray’s ongoing. It’s the only site I’ve found time to add to my links for this site, and it’s worth the text. Another article about Unicode today… a topic I don’t really care much about, but I feel informed, without being knocked about the head…

Here’s the first book about Napster. I’m surprised it took this long to come out, honestly. I was wondering if John Borland would write such a book. I’ll have to check in with my friend Rich and learn what he thinks of this telling of the tale, since Rich was there for much of it.…

Ten years ago, I would have been sitting in the six seat for H in this race (scroll down to the April 26th results). I honestly can’t remember whether or not we won 10 years ago, although I think my overall history at HYPs was not strong in my three years of the race… Sprints…

All my active energy is in the mornings. But my free time is in the evenings. Seems like a problem, doesn’t it?
