This weather is too good. I love the fall. Perfect. Now if we could just hold it right here until about April...
Two days ago I woke up in the morning and the first thing I thought about (or was it the last thing I was dreaming about?) was the phrase "quantum entanglement." Now this was strange because although I have heard this phrase before, I really have no idea what quantum entanglement is. Apparently it might be important.
It shipped!
Damn you Brig Eaton for turning me on to nyc and me, the blog Drat Fink said reminds him of "felicity meets coyote ugly." Who could resist? Now if only she'd get her own computer so we could read about her life more often. (I think this one tops even *riothero for voyeristic fun. Sort of makes me cringe, but I keep going back for more.)
I think this site gets hit by more robots than humans. The indexing going on is insane. Does the googlebot ever sleep? Or play with its friends? My god that thing needs a day off.
One half a manifesto, by Jaron Lanier. It's always interesting what he has to say, but this one is especially good. I guess I'm guilty of much he is charging, but his ideas seem to strengthen my mind rather than attempting to disrupt, or change it. He's really picked up the ball here in the ongoing techno-cultural dialogue that has perhaps been too skewed lately by Bill Joy, Ray Kurtzweil, et al. Find the time for this one. (from /.)
"An interesting development for you freaks that follow the Roswell story..."
And as if that link weren't enough, 7CR also has this one, to a great page called "weird but true."
Lots of preparations for the big Thanksgiving trip. Things are getting pretty exciting. There's nothing quite like traveling with the Wheel.
Still no plumber, so the office construction is still stalled. Definitely won't be done before the vacation. Hopefully it won't be too long after we are back. I have to order the sdsl before the 30th to get in on a special rebate offer, so I'll actually be in the strange position of hoping they don't install it too fast. Now there's a dsl wish that might come true.
Here are 10 one meter resolution satellite images taken from the commercial satellite Ikonos (the first one meter resolution capable commercial satellite.) Perhaps as impressive as the pictures is the fact that their servers seem unfazed by the front page link on Slashdot (although I did catch the story very soon after it was posted.) Looks like they are running Apache on FreeBSD. Nice site.
