Biddulph and Hammersley are on the case. Screenshot 1 (Searching for "John Peel") and screenshot 2 ("John Peel's contributer page") I think I would have dropped everything to play on this project too. Sigh. ;) My favorite line in Biddulph's...

Ok ok. So yeah it's my birthday. 31. This is official notification to all of you, that I will be at Laïka (4040 St-Laurent) from 7pm onwards. Do drop by if you are so inclined. They serve foods, café and...

Is this uncharacteristically early? I can't remember. I was walking around at 3am again and it was snowing. "Slushing" more like. The kind of snow that melts on contact with the ground. It was quite stormy actually; a transparent snowstorm...

So like... where is everyone? (I will write more about this later... seriously weird stuff.)...

(This screen cap is from a demonstration of Keyword Hierarchies - a.k.a Tag Bundles, label pools, etc - and how you can apply selected keywords to multiple images at once. It also shows a surfer in a meta-hoola-skirt, surfing...

About a week ago I went for chinese food with Michael. We hadn't seen each other in a few weeks and Mike had just returned from what seemed like a very exciting trip to Europe. He recounted parts of his...

Some people... Walid Elias Kai, who has a doctorate in search engine marketing, and his wife Carol of Kalmar, Sweden, have named their son Oliver Google Kai...

Yup. One month old black 4Gig iPod nano. Perfect working condition, all original packaging included. Reasonable offers welcome. (To keep in mind: I paid $300.00 CND + tax, only 4 weeks ago) I'm gonna hold out for someone local who...

Well, it's happened.The American-based internet giant, AOL, wholly-owned by Time-Warner, has formed a working partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to permit unlimited surveillance of the millions of AOL online members, according to a report from the U.S....

So I caught a cold. I first felt the scratch in my throat last friday, but it went away and I thought "hrm, ok, good thing that didn't develop." Monday morning it came back and was pronounced. You know when...

Just found this which will make a few people very happy: Gobby is a free collaborative editor based on libobby, a library which provides synced document buffers. It supports multiple documents in one session and a multi-user chat. It runs...

(I'm getting tiiired of this...) I'm looking at SynchroEdit, a development project to allow "synchronous editing for the web". Let us, for one second, forget that the web was conceived to be two-way, synchronously editable, from day one. (Hah! Tim...

I came across an outtake track of Glenn Gould's historic 1955 Goldberg Variations recording session. On it you hear various studio chatter and joke cracking and mumbling and false starts and cursing. Near the end of the track, Gould springs...

When washing face and hands, I switch from turning on only the cold water tap... to turning on only the hot water tap. Sigh....

I'm too lazy to reconfigure this system of mine to archive my del.icio.us stream. I suspect that if/when I do, I'll use that service more. But for now, some recent bookmarks: » BMW Thailand / bmw cutout car toy play...

Stevey sent me this a few days ago and I chuckled and thought to myself "yup, that's how I file files on my computer" and moved on. Michal just wrote about it with some deeper pondering. Some quick thoughts of...

This will sound like ass-kissing but I assure you it's not. Joi finally posted a really great entry after a long quiet period. (I know I know, research. Daijobu.) More than that, it runs parallel to my suspicions regarding "what's...

RSS et al are merely a temporary detour, a quick outgrowth which we needed to bring us back to the Web. Consider this: syndicated items do not have URIs for their "locations" in the feed. They always point back to...

I'm drunk so I'll do this. Cue Star Wars "The Imperial March" Yahoo! acquires Upcoming.org dum dum dum dum da-dum dum da-dum... inside joke: (Hey Mike, synchronize yer calendars! Here we go!)...

The absolute best part is this: when Bubble 2.0 comes around and sweeps by, the whole affair will have been so thoroughly documented, annotated, tagged, conversed about, permalinked and RSS'ed... that the future Web 3.0 Blowhards will really need to...
