Oh yeah, damn, podcasts are totally they way to go. Thatsound is grrrrrreat!
Genieus.
Plus, the first thing I clicked took me to Yilan, Taiwan, so of course that made me happy.
Using a laptop to get work done is just horrid horrid stuff. Flat keyboard… garbage. No mouse (kk, yeah that’s my fault i could plug a mouse in, but frankly, using the PC is easier than keeping a mouse near/connected to the laptop), garbage. Tiny screen… laughable (ok that’s a quibble). Sitting on a couch, [...]
Aggg, I’ve run out of music to listen to. It’s been weeks. I keep trying random new stuff and it’s totally disappointing. Amazon’s music search (for similar stuff) totally doesn’t help me find what I want. I’ve been listening to nothing *nothing* but french techno for my commute for going on 6 months now… it’s [...]
How did Wave die… great idea.. but man, the interface was just weird. We’re right on the precipice of someone getting that stuff (collaborative info-sharing) to work well. Facebook has it down (shudder) one-way. And even their half-assed way is super successful. The frustrating thing to me is that doing all this stuff right seems [...]
The Netflix movie reviews are *staggeringly* bad. What the hell? If it has 4 stars on netflix, it might be great, or maybe you should probably throw it in the garbage, who knows. If it has 3 starts on netflix, it’s a made-for TV movies. If it has fewer stars, you might as well stab [...]

Krauthammer is kinda full of shit in a lot of ways in this article (nearly of the ‘obama debt’ is actually ‘bush debt’ (economy, Iraq war, tax cut). This is a pretty tasty preview, I think of what some of this years elections (and even more so, 2012) will look like. Reports of mass Democratic [...]
I bet you thought polling outfits were run by people who knew how to do math. It appears in many cases you’d be wrong. I think this needs to be addressed in our education system. Institutions that you think are run by smart competent people are in fact largely run by incompetent charlatans who can barely [...]
9th Anniversary Deep Thoughts and Statistics
Marian and I have been married for 9 years today. We’ve had Jules for 1/3 of the time we’ve been married, and we’ve lived in Seattle for more than half the time we’ve been married.
We’ve been friends for 15 years.
I knew within a month or two of becoming friends with [...]
