Went to Victoria Street this morning looking for breakfast, and found only a Starbucks open! They charge extra if you’re having snacks to eat in, but serve them in bags just the same. Also, the concepts of mixed “not skim, not whole” milk and no water in a tea latte have no familiarity. […]

London arrival
April 29, 2006 – 4:09 pm
Time for a report on our first hours here in London.
Our American Airlines airplane had d fuel leak in the engine. Thankfully this was noticed while still at the gate, but they let us board and sit for 2 hours before moving us to a dusty little concourse, causing another pass through security and […]

Will has released episode 4 on Calico Monkey, and the character I voice has debuted. This is also the first time Will’s incorporated some 3D, pushing the webcomic envelope even further.

theshow is a daily news roundup video that is best described as a webcam version of SNL’s Weekend Update. I got to catch up watching the archives before they were cut off to save on bandwidth… I smell an opportunity for Comedy Central. You should start watching now.
Serendipity on a cone
April 25, 2006 – 9:42 pm

This morning my calendar reminded me I needed to take the train to the CWE […]

I suppose I should publish my 2¢ regarding the new ballpark, having been to two games already. I heartily approve. It doesn’t try to be an amusement park or deny the city, but rather simply presents a field with a lot of well-positioned seats, and seems to take just as much space as […]
I believe in mocking
April 23, 2006 – 12:50 pm
For the last two weeks, Scott Adams has been blogging about mysticism and predictably stirring up the crazies. The highlight is when he questions the need to respect beliefs, and asserts “Mockery is an important social tool for squelching stupidity.”
Programming is brain surgery
April 21, 2006 – 1:31 pm
Eric Lippert has posted some good thoughts on why writing code is more like brain surgery than rocket science, but by the looks of the comment thread (and those URLs) writing usable software is more difficult still. Maybe Microsoft should follow my example, put aside their prejudices, and configure WordPress with permalinks that end […]
OpenID has it right
April 6, 2006 – 6:38 pm
There has been much ado over the last year about identity. Most of the early plays were centralized thinly-veiled attempts to own your identity. Even many of the 2.0 systems depend on the solvency of a managing organization. SAML is a big heavy beast as you might expect from a committee.
So, I […]
