08/31 Why I now have an email signature — We’ve been on an SEO binge over the last 4-6 weeks. I’ve been educating myself by listening and reading to everything I can find my hands on. What’s SEO anyway? It stands for “Search Engine Optimization” and it refers to the **science and art of getting your site to come up when people are searc...
08/27 High Reactives — What are high reactives? > “Temperament is a complex, multilayered thing, and for the sake of clarity, Kagan was tracking it along a single dimension: whether babies were easily upset when exposed to new things. He chose this characteristic both because it could be measured and because it seemed to ...
08/26 Do you remember “Twin Peaks”? — “Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it,, don’t wait for it, just … let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee…”(Dale Cooper, in Twin Peaks) Don’t ask me why, the quote just strikes me as funny!

08/21 Ray Kurzweil Responds — You may not have followed the discussion that ensued when Ray Kurzweil was reported to ‘not understand the brain‘, but it’s pretty fascinating. Here’s what PZ Meyers said: > “There he goes again, making up nonsense and ...
08/20 Rogert Ebert: Ten things I know about the mosque — I bet many of you didn’t realize that Roger Ebert is still writing a fantastic column, with movie reviews yes, but also some excellent written commentary. For example, check this fine post [Ten things I know about the mosque](http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/08/ten_things_i_know_about_the_mo.htm...
08/15 Fun article about faux-physical UI metaphors — Ok, that’s my own curious headline for this interesting article in the New York Times: > “What, after all, is a more recognizable symbol of the capriciousness of life than a deck of cards, out of which your fate is randomly dealt? And yet here the deck icon is only superficial. At heart it’s not a random-card generator but the opposite: a highly wrought program with a memory, an algorithm and a mandate to keep children in the game. An app posing as a spatiotemporal object.” (from The New York Times)
08/07 Rhapsody vs. iTunes — I think I might be entering a new phase in my music listening. I listen to a ton of music, on my iPhone, on my computer, in my car, all the time. And up to now it’s always been downloaded (purchased) music that I organize manually within iTunes.  From time to time I’ve had subscriptions to [eMusic](...
08/04 [GEEKY] Too much authentication goodness — It seems like nowadays, to be a cool, 21st century kind of application, you need to allow me to use my facebook, or google, or yahoo, or twitter, or … account to access a site. Ok, sounds like a fine idea, don’t you think? Here’s the problem. I go to one of the zillions of sites out there that I use, and it asks me to log in. Now, not only do I have to remember a username / email, a password, but I also have to remember if I used Google, Facebook, OpenId, or whatnot, to get in. I guess I should set a policy for myself to never use anything other than the built in username/password. That’s probably a better policy for security as well.
08/03 Blackberry network is far more secure! — I never realized this and I am surprised that BlackBerry and Research In Motion advertising have not made a big deal out of it. According to this article [BlackBerry communications travel over a highly encrypted channel, not the open internet](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/02/business/global/02berr...
08/02 Why are you reading? — If you are a hardcore blog reader like I am, and like BlogBridge fans are, it’s worth giving a little thought to what this article is saying: > “I read this and thrashed and spluttered like Yosemite Sam for a while before I admitted it: he’s right. It is a self-created p...
