I know…
…about the Macro errors. Hope to resolve them soon. Tuesday morning: trying to fix Macro error.

I publish, therefore I am
Well, not quite, but at least the site finally updated again. Do I know why? No. Am I tempting fate by making some changes (adding Trackback, removing some badges, adding monthly archive links)? Yes. Well, updates are still going through, and I like monthly links, but the Trackback addition is still problematic. The ping went…

Fifth sentence from page 23
OK, so I saw the meme from Caterina on Michael Sippey’s site, so I’ll jump in. The instructions: Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 23. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. OK… nearest book is Curious George rides a bike. It…

Movie: Touching the Void
Go see Touching the Void. This documentary about a 1985 climbing expedition to Peru made me squirm in my seat. Since this is non-fiction, everyone in the theater must know the basic story. Basically, things go horribly wrong after the pair of Brits reach the summit of a never-before climbed ridge. Everyone survives, but only…

What’s the background on the Easter Bunny?
I’ll have to search for the real (?) story later, but just have to start Monday wondering that. We hosted a successful brunch and egg hunt, and the Easter Bunny excitement had the kids twitching with excitement… even before some of them found out about the candy inside.

Radio silence since Monday, April 5
If a site updates, but the home and RSS feed do not, does anyone know about the updates? I think this is the new technical equivalent of the tree falling in the forest all by its lonesome. Radio Userland is driving me nuts, but the effort to fix the problem (whatever it might be) still…

DRM e-mail: figures, but who knew?
Scoble is thrilled with his Outlook ‘magic folder’ blogging tool. It’s so easy, though, that he worries about making a mistake. I imagine a day when I accidentally drop something in there that I wasn’t supposed to. I wonder how it’d treat DRM’d email? Hmmm, we should try that out! (Execs here often send around…

Card Sorting
Card sorting is a development technique I’ve never tried, but maybe I’ll have a need someday. [via InfoDesign, which is often a good source for links]

YARR (yet another RSS reader)
NewsYouCanUse is a menu-bar RSS reader for MacOS X. I downloaded it, installed it, found it slow, and quit it. I can’t write software, so I don’t mean to be dismissive, but even for free, there are better choices.

Movie: Phone Booth
Not a great film, Phone Booth races through a small plot and never slows down. I appreciated that, at least. Kiefer Sutherland as the sniper on the phone is the star of the movie, although he’s on screen for about 90 seconds. The movie runs about 80 minutes, and it honestly felt a lot like…
