Big Brother is Watching You
Ok maybe it’s just Google and not BB (is that an oxymoron?) - but I was pointed today to a particular (new) street map view of Atlanta which shows my friend and former co-worker Jessica probably driving to work.

The Cable Man Cometh
Well he actually comethed already. I am happy to report that I am not stealing anyone else’s internet connection at the moment, and using my own. I had a déja vu moment yesterday. I was standing in my new apartment (I have to mostly stand or sit on the floor since my stuff hasn’t arrived [...]

Losing It
I had a problem with me ole blog - and after careful (I thought) reinstallation and backing up, I lost all posts from October 2007 to now. Sux. I had to recreate the MySQL database so they are not to be found, sadly.

Tickle iTunes and then replace it with a robot
Not new but I was just shown this today by the Gay Librarian. There is also a equation generator - check it out. Some of them don’t make a lot of sense but if you are as sort of overwhelmed but still interested in the whole Web 2.0 phenom as I am, this [...]

Jib-Jabbing LibraryMan
Oh. My. God. I cannot believe my old buddy Michael P (LibraryMan) continues to be so wacky and hilarious. I have to send him a huge kudos for this - and for my friend Brenda for pointing it out to me today. The first link is the “Starring You!” video [...]
