I thought this amusing. So if you google iwork.com, one can go on for pages of endgadget and techcrunch and cnet reviews of the product. However, if I type “iwork.com review” down at the bottom of the first page I see my digg of my own review of iwork.com.
Now knowing that [...]
The way the social web works…
A day in an airplane, a week in Chennai…
I wrote this trip report 3.5 years ago on a trip to our outsourcing site at a former employer. I have removed all product specific information as well as obfuscated individual names. I have written several trip reports like this over the years and I think that anyone who writes a dry, list-like trip report [...]
Hey, I’m listed on Alltop! AWESOME!
I just got listed on the alltop SciFi and Fantasy Novel page way down at the bottom after many relatively famous, not so famous and infamous sci-fi bloggers and writers. I thought it kinda kewl!
For those who don’t know what alltop is, I direct you to their about page which explains it pretty well. [...]
Obama’s Need for a Blackberry…Mil Spec…
So a friend of mine is interviewed on this Bloomberg clip about the new super secret NSA style phone that they are going to allow President Obama to have.
I thought I’d cross-post this from youtube in Michael’s honor. He now joins the Armenian speaking Chinese guy on my blog hall [...]
Personal thoughts on writing…
So I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while. I want to separate this topic from publishing and deal with that separately at some point. For that topic I do need to do more research and get more involved with local writers’ community events so that I get some education (beside the plethora of [...]
Armenian Speaking Chinese Student
Armenian Speaking Chinese Student
I thought this was pretty impressive. I also thought the Armenian guy speaking Chinese was impressive too.
In a similar way, years ago, I had another incident like this portrays. I was taking evening Armenian language classes (mostly to learn how to read but also to get practice [...]
Intuit’s Mass. R&D lab pushes service platform ideas
I dugg this last week. But not a lot of us are on Digg (as far as I can tell)
Intuit Inc. is reinventing itself — but much of the push for change isn’t coming from company headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. It’s coming out of an office building in Waltham, where about 140 employees [...]
The full text of Lincoln’s 2nd Inaugural Address…we have finally lived up to it…
Fellow-Countrymen:
AT this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been [...]
iWork ‘09 and iWork.com (beta) Review
So I’ve been playing with a trial of iWork ‘09 and iWork.com. If you don’t know, iWork is apple’s replacement for it’s old Appleworks suite and is a would-be competition with Office. Because every Mac comes with a calendar and an email program, the Outlook or Entourage part of Office is [...]
This was really funny. If you’ve never seen Star Wars, you have a soulmate:
I got this in my FB feed this morning and I haven’t stopped laughing since.
Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.
More experimenting…embedding an self recorded mp3 in my blog
Here’s a version of Dust in the Wind I recorded on Garage Band, maybe 3 years ago. I haven’t really had the time in the last couple of years to carve out time to fool around with Garage Band. This evening, with a little help from google, I learned the html trick to embed [...]
Further testing…
I’ve set it up so that in the few cases that ff passes something along to twitter, it now sends the source information, rather than the ff feed link. This will be my last test for the night.
Testing Ping.fm
Someone commented in my complaint story about friendfeed that I hadn’t found a good way to select how to rebroadcast my status updates in such a way that if I update on any site, twitter gets an update. Ping.fm seems to solve my concerns. It allows me the levers that I wanted to pick how [...]
OK, still need digg connection through ff to twitter since ping doesn’t support digg. testing that now…
Patrick McGoohan – Some thoughts about how “The Prisoner” affected me…
Many, many years ago, probably when I was 12 or 13, I was turning channels (we turned them back then because they were on a Dial, no remote), on UHF (omg) where all the really weird programming was. You could see Lucha Libre, wrestling in Spanish…or see the Marvel Super Hero’s from a barely capturable [...]
Good night’s sleep may prevent a cold, study finds
People who averaged less than seven hours of sleep a night were about three times more likely to develop cold symptoms than study volunteers who got eight or more hours of sleep, Pittsburgh researchers reported yesterday in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
