I was planning on making a humorous and pithy commentary on SBC buying AT&T, and how it’s a little sad that one of the last old independent American companies would be swallowed up by merger. I was going to point to the 1994 "You Will" ad campaign — the only one I [...]
Beagle 0.0.5 is out! Lots of spiffy new improvements in this release, including an IM log viewer and new launcher and RSS backends. Plus it’s a lot faster and much less memory intensive. Check it out.
Folks came through for me and I have a copy of FYOSS. Thanks a lot [...]
Based on Jacob’s endorsement last week I bought some new speakers for my office and moved the old 3-cd changer/tape/radio dealie down into my kitchen. I now have pretty good centralized music coverage of the house, missing only the bathroom at this point. Gotta figure that one out yet, but I do [...]

Gene Ruebsamen forwarded me an email and asked me to post it:
Dear Friends,
Please take a look at the attached picture of this victim from Tsunami.
If you do not know him, please forward his pictures to your friends
or organization in your country for further publication.
This boy is about 2 years old. Found and taken from [...]
My flight has changed gates four times now, including twice to completely different terminals, most recently after the Airbus that was supposed to take me back to Boston had a broken valve.
Remember what I said “yesterday” about this experience being “a little more plesant”? Fuck that, this sucks. I want to go [...]
