This is hillarious!! This guy sure loves his toolbars, extensions, and plug-ins…
I love books. So anytime I walk past a bookstore, I just can’t help myself – I can’t seem to leave without buying a few books. Same thing today, so I ended up with two more for my library. I’m very excited about one in particular, The Immortal Game. Thumbing through it, it looks like [...]
The US and Russia have reached an agreement to shut down Russia-based allofmp3.com, a controversial music download site. This is obviously part of a larger push to bring intellectual property rights in line with WTO standards as Russia aspires to join the WTO next year. It’ll be interesting to see how effectively Russia can address [...]
This is getting ridiculous. It seems to be true; I’ve been getting so much friggin’ spam over the last few weeks it’s not even funny. After a nice four-day Thanksgiving weekend, my inbox at work is completed drowned in spam. I’m not sure who I should be more upset with: the idiot spammers that use [...]
So a few weeks into the life of Microsoft’s Zune, reactions like this one seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Which doesn’t really come as a surprise – Microsoft just doesn’t seem to get the concept of “user friendly”. Before its launch, I was briefly toying with the idea of getting a [...]
I must have gained 50 pounds with all the food I’ve had in the last four days… it’s a good thing Thanksgiving is over. I’ll have to put in some extra time on the treadmill this week…
The NY Times has an interesting article on a conference at La Jolla’s Salk Institute for Biological Studies where the debate turned into a “free-for-all on science and religion”.
Man, I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving again. This year has gone by way too fast… But then again – woohoo, it’s Thanksgiving!! Food, food, and more food. Yum. And a four day weekend. Oh, and of course Black Friday is here again! I’m sure I’ll find something or other.
Man those are some big ol’ crabs… Yum.
Check out Confabb, a new service where you can find information on all sorts of conferences and events. It has reviews, information on speakers, and a bunch of other neat features. I have a feeling I’ll be visiting this site pretty often.
It’s time to get a new laptop again. I’m switching from my beloved and rugged IBM ThinkPad T40 to the T60 (now manufactured by Lenovo). While I love the idea of better performance and new features (like the Integrated Fingerprint Reader), I’m not looking forward to transferring all my data and programs and reconfiguring all [...]
Use the arrow keys to guide Pac-Man. P – Pause/unpause the game. Q – Quit game. M – Mute/unmute sound. L – Low quality on/off.
Innaresting…
Wow. Big things happening in US politics. House and Senate taken by the Democrats. Rumsfeld gone. This is going to be interesting… Although with such a slim majority in the Senate for the Dems, there’s still going to be plenty of gridlock. What really amazes me is the 40% voter turnout. That is so sad. [...]
I am so excited! The plans for my vacation in India are finally taking shape, and going through the wonderful 1140-page Lonely Planet guide is making me all giddy… So far, our plans include Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan… we’ll see what else we can fit in. In the meantime, I’m going to brush up on [...]
