Sam’s Town

I see London, I see Sam’s Town. Love the new Killer’s Album.

Beam Me Up

I finally got around to getting a slingbox…I have grand plans to write about the tricks of running it in Windows virtualized on my Mac half a world away…anyways no time. I can say in summary though it helps with the endless traveling to check out the occasional show from home.
Apple too is racing […]

All Quiet

The last few days of summer (at least before labour day) have hardly been quiet for me. Work seems to be just getting busier (although in a pretty good way).
Have quite a few links and posts I’ll try and catch up on as I travel this month.
In the meantime…beautiful photos […]

New Tunes

Picked up the latest album from The Hidden Cameras. Great summer tunes.

Here It Goes

I hate treadmills but this is totally cool. Go Ok Go.

I’m Tired Of Waiting Too

The Future Of Cable TV That You Will Probably Never Get To Watch
“Instead we have to put up with crappy UIs, poor feature sets, and crappy HD content.
Do you blame me for loading BitTorrent?”

I Get It

I’m new to Rocketboom. I get it. Cool.
What is a Video Podcast?

Finest TV Show Going

The season three teaser/trailer for Battlestar Galactica reminds me of why (for me at least) this is the best show on television right now.

Don’t Get It

Hotels almost always have an unusual selection of TV channels (and questionable movies of all types). As a professional TV surfer it’s hard for me to adapt on the road (and work properly without the TV going in the background) since I never know what’s on. The default of course becomes various news […]

Living Now

Andrew Sullivan is a regular read of mine. He has some excellent posts lately on a range of issues from Iran to the Simpsons that are worth a look. Today however, it’s his quote for the day I needed…
“Let each one examine his thoughts, and he will find them all occupied with the […]

I Need More Information

I started watching Lost last year - mostly on the long flights I’d catch up on an episode here and there. Of course like millions of others I’m fully hooked…but a complaint I have is that there are just too many cliffhangers and unknowns. I’m willing to hang into and watch a show […]

Why No DRM Is A Good Thing

After stumbling across the graphing applet on the website Aharef last night, I checked out the site again today.  There’s a link to a song from a band the author is in.  I listened a couple of times to the full version…and happily went over to iTunes to drop .99 for the song.  A good […]

Mapping We All Need

I was chatting with Ernest last night and he pointed me to this blog - Aharef - and the very cool utility for mapping websites - HTML Graph Applet. Great visualization.
