Another fascinating post from Scott Adams
I don’t know, maybe it’s because he’s a mini celebrity but I found the continuing story of Scott Adam’s voice problems just gripping. Check out this post from [The Dilbert Blog](http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_di...

Dreaming in code
I heard about this book, “Dreaming in Code”… it looks really interesting but kind of depressing to read which is why I didn’t run out to buy it. Building software is just really really hard and for some reason no matter how smart and experienced we are, projects st...
Read more →Funny rant about internet advertising
Check out this post from Saint John the Conqueror: > Much like when your TiVo “suggests” something uncomfortably out-of-character, like The View when your queue is filled with nothing but The Shield and The Sopranos, their bullseyes can leave you both uneasy and confused. Once, the spread of ads to the side of my screen contained nothing but links to drug rehab centers and alcoholism message boards. Trying to tell me something, Google Ads? Nice try, Falwell, but I don’t need the morality police wagging their fingers at me. (from: Interlude: Internet Ads)
Really interesting interview with Jonathan Schwartz
Who is he? The CEO of Sun Microsystems. Check out the video: http://www.podtech.net/player/podtech-player.swf?bc=3F34K2L1 (from Jonathan’s own blog)
Link softly, but carry a big stick :)
Some people have such juice (i.e traffic) to their blog that they when they sneeze, the blogsphere gets a cold. In this post from Scobleizer – Tech Geek Blogger: Scoble uses his clout to try and either force or ...

** [3:56 pm PST] In an effort to improve the performance of teleports across the grid, we are going to rebalance our bandwidth to some simulators in our co-location facilities. This will entail taking 164 regions off line for 30 minutes and bringing them back up on a new circuit. We will start this process at 4:00 pm PST so we should be complete with this operation by about 4:30 pm PST. (from**: Update on Search and TP issues)
Scott Adams writres about Spasmodic Dysphonia…
If you’veheard of Dilbert, then you may have heard about the author Scott Adams. And of course everyone has heard of Dilbert. His blog is almost always funny and sometimes really interesting to the point of touching. In a recent post, Scott Adams reveals that he suffers from something I neve...
Read more →Grey Gardens, on broadway
Here’s a show with a plot that is quite unusual, set as a musical, on Broadway. I enjoyed it immensely — recommended! Christine Ebersole is the lead, she briefly was a regular on Saturday Night Live (early eighties, for a couple of years) – not that I remember her from then although from the un-made-up photo on the web site, I kind of recognize her. Read more about it on wikipedia (where else?) p.s. The whole web site is made in flash and as a result I can’t link to any of the inner pages. Not smart!
iPhone Lacks Conversational Aspects

Check out this post from Lifehacker: > So you want an iPhone when it ships in June (who doesn’t?), but you’re locked into a contract with your current provider. Try Celltrade, a service that helps you transfer your contract responsibility to someone else and effectively walk away without paying a hefty penalty. (from: Ditch your phone contract with Celltrade)
Drama in Blog Time.
A very interesting commentary on the phenomenon of blogging. Is what we write ‘of little consequence’? Does the fact that we post again the next day say that we ourselves feel that way? Check out this post from [What Will You See Nex...

I say it’s the Newton of the 21st century. I love my mac as much as the next guy, but mac fanatics become insufferable at a certain point. Bah, humbug.
