Since I’m not a del.ico.us user, my interesting links lie around, gathering dust in the e-mail inbox or in Safari. Taking a broom to the in-box, I find the following: Hugh Macloed of GapingVoid on Mount Everest (read the entire post… it’s not long) 9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put…

DigitalDream.com == spammer I guess this is a sign that a marketplace for services is arriving, but when I get “signs” by being smacked in the face, I’m not very happy about it. This morning, I received unsolicited email from [email protected] offering to help me solve “the problem with feeds — RSS bandwidth usage.” Yes,…

So I unbuckled the seat belt a little earlier than I should have this evening, as we were rolling into the garage. Behind me came a similar click… the boy had followed my example. I told him that I made a mistake, and that he needed to wait until we were fully stopped. His response?…

I visited Fort Collins, Colorado for the first time ever this past weekend. (Thanks, Sam & Mike!) I’m still musing over the combination of parks and sprawl. In a short 20 minute drive across town, we passed several city parks on our way to this new park, Fossil Creek. Great facility, and it was busy…

It was a pre-order, with a “shipping soon” promise. In January, at Macworld, the promise was “end of February” delivery. I let it go for a while,…

It’s up to Business 2.0 to decide if they want to put stories behind registration or subscription. However, the Time Inc. webmaster who has the sense of humor (?) to call their subscription server curtain.timeinc.net should be admonished. Perhaps he or she thought it would soften the “blow” to call a wall a curtain, but…

Yes, like everyone else who has seen (or will see) Winged Migration, I found myself wondering time and again how they shot this film of real birds. Fortunately, with the DVD’s special features, some of the details are available. Just incredible visual scenery, without effects. With all the possibilities for simulation and creation, recording the…

Kevin Kline is a school teacher in the Midwest, outed by a former student (Matt Dillon) at the Oscars only days before his wedding (to Joan Cusack’s character). Denial, and then acceptance, all very light-hearted. The movie is In & Out. Short, funny… would be good on an airplane, and was good at the end…

David Weinberger published Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A unified theory of the web in 2002. I just got to the book a few weeks ago, after finding a hardcover copy lying about the office during a move. Like The Tipping Point, Small Pieces is one of those books I’ve heard about and lived (in some…
