G5s at Microsoft

G5s at Microsoft: My 15 Minutes of Fame This showed up in my “interesting flickr” images this morning. Two years old, but still a classic.

Whole Foods “good for you” conspiracy

I was standing in line at Whole Foods tonight waiting to checkout and I realized they don’t seem to stock the magazines you really want to read in the checkout line. So instead of reading something like People or Star [1], I was forced to read about Hamas in The Economist. So they have extended [...]

Orb

Sounds pretty compelling.

How can you not love Flickr?

When they have a pool dedicated to pugs in hats.

Michael Snaps SLAC

Every time I cruise by SLAC on Hwy 280, I want to take a picture looking down the long linear accelerator. I’ve even attempted to stretch into the backseat to get my camera while going 80 mph.

Interesting Flickr, switch to FeedDemon

Those of you who have spent more than four minutes with me know that I’m a huge fan of newsreaders. I think they really change how you absorb news online and make it possible to read more than four blogs. I was a very early fan of Newsgator because it plugged into Outlook and made [...]

The ends justify the coffee

I’m down at eBay waiting for a 1:30 meeting. I knew I was going to be early and so I had Nate get me the eBay guest wireless WEP key. When I got there, I settled in the cafeteria, found something good on my iPod, and started working. I went to connect to IM for a few meetings [...]
