Sucking Up to Rogers Cadenhead Speaking of being a suck-up, I am now going to suck-up to Rogers Cadenhead in the hopes of getting a copy of his book, Radio Userland Kick Start.  I have looked at the freely available chapters, especially when I start tinkering with my blog's look and feel.  The stuff that I have used and seen is pretty good to begin with.  Why do I need a freely available copy of the book?  Well, I am cheap, and I am a huge procrastinator.  As such, I do not see me getting this book anytime in the near future.  Also, this is one of many books on my technical reading list that I have yet to make a dent in acquiring.  Of course, I would welcome a free and (possibly) signed copy.  Primarily because I am a nerd.  So, in the hopes of not looking too pathetic, I will grovel for this book until Rogers says "No mas." 9:31:31 AM    comment []  trackback []

Meh... Mixing National Bohemian and Resurrection is not necessarily a wise choice.  I was not hungover, but I just had no desire to get out of my bed this morning considering the late hour I got home.  Nothing but a small headache, which is now gone.  Of course, I did not pack my lunch today, so I need to spend some money on that later today.  I am a corporate shill, and as such I tend to visit the corporate place people hate: Starbucks.  I have discovered another espresso-laden beverage that I now love:  Caffè Americano.  I must thank one of my college buddies for turning me onto this drink, but it is tasty!  Especially when you put 5 shots of espresso in it.  I need to buy and mail off my Mother's Day cards today.  I will probably step out of my office in a little bit to do so.  Thanks, Mom and Grandmom, even though neither one will see this.  I need to update my blogroll, so between doing actual work I might do that.  Anyone know a good OPML editor I can use (that does NOT use Java)?  Dave Winer is supposed to be coming out with an open source one, but I need something now, dammit! Speaking of Dave, Happy Belated 50th Birthday!  I might as well get on the bandwagon and be a suck-up.  That said, without his work, I would not be blogging.  Also, thanks to his work with RSS, I am like a crack addict with the feeds in my aggregator.  9:30:28 AM    comment []  trackback []
