A couple of pretty cool things here. For example, a script that searches a number of websites (including google) for information about the currently playing track. .< 7:09:31 PM  >Weblog Entry - 03/25/2002: "Ruh-Neb": "It also reveals the weakness of blogging: the sound bite, the random thought, the lack of cohesive analysis that results from spending hours or weeks to produce a few hundred or thousand choice words. " This is partly why I keep two sites at this point. One is for posting news items and the other if for writing. Still, the bloody calendar sitting there as a navigational tool almost forces a diary approach as opposed to a story approach. It cries out to have an entry for every day whether you really have something worthwhile to say that day or not! .< 7:02:32 PM >War Movies Win Sound Oscar Battle
Hollywood--Motion picture sound was honored at the 74th Annual Academy

Toronto Star Online Mar 25 2002 5:10AM ET [Moreover - moreover...] I like the way this headline and the following one showed up in my news aggregator one after the other. I thought perhaps they were related stories. .< 12:25:41 PM >Thestar.com/Ontario's No. 3 cash crop: Pot: "Ontario's indoor marijuana industry is the province's third-largest agricultural sector, statistics show. " .< 12:15:28 PM >Volume Control Knob Turns Heads. It's a volume control for computers, but why is it so hot (and so expensive)? Well, it can do ... so much. Leander Kahney reports from Macworld Tokyo. [Wired News] .< 12:02:35 PM >Louvre Putting Entire Collection Online. Research Buzz Mar 25 2002 8:04AM ET [Moreover - Arts and culture news] .< 11:54:44 AM >MacHack: Tim O'Reilly to keynote [MacNN] .< 11:52:32 AM >Pioneer Press reviews Radio. "When you give the masses a publishing tool this powerful, I don't think you can pretend to know what will happen." Coool!  [Scripting News].< 2:48:44 AM > I went looking for a picture of Mitch Kapor and dug up this famous portrait of Bill Gates, Mitch and Fred Gibbons taken for the 1984 rollout of Apple's Macintosh. This poster was distributed to every developer, our names were on the poster too, so that guaranteed that we'd put it up in our front office. We were proud to be Mac developers. In those days Bill was talent. Fred was a total suit, but an imaginative one who understood users. Mitch was the perfect eclectic and brilliant software designer. [Scripting News]Freaky! A very geeky, very young Bill Gates wearing a Macintosh t-shirt. Click on the photo to see for yourself. .< 2:32:06 AM >Retailers and bar owners in high spirits over new liquor laws but others worry.

This should help. Read the replies to the posting for more tips. .< 1:54:11 AM > Spamradio Rox! It makes so much sense....a text to speech engine reading spam emails over techno traxx. Hi-Fi stream here. [Discovered by Doc] [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog] |
