This will probably get me spammed, but I’ve been reading a lot the past few days (here, here and here, and the MT Pro list) about the horrors of comment spam, and how evil comment spam spiders are crawling sites for the path to mt-comments.cgi and then spamming the crap out of it. Me? I […]
Ambient Dashboard is weird. It’s weird in a way that makes me tilt my head to the side. But, somehow, it feels right. People are good at reading dials.

We’re meeting at the Microsoft Mountain View campus. We went out to dinner last night as a group, and I’ve never been at dinner where […]
On conference calls recently, I’ve been browsing Flickr tags. Here’s a handful of my favorites: Burning Man Beach Monkey Baby Mirror Football Dancing Jump Have I mentioned how much I love Flickr? I mean it, I really do. Oh, and this burning man photo is my current favorite photo. It’s spiffy.
Need to make a web page and wouldn’t know an HTML tag if it jumped up and closed itself around your head? Well, then go download Nvu!! It’s a great WYSIWYG editor (you know, like Word), and has gotten better with every release. There’s even an OS X build now! UPDATE: For the uninitiated, WYSIWYG […]
