Friday, March 10, 2006 Test Update
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 Don't let the door hit you on the way out...
A high-ranking Food and Drug Administration official resigned Wednesday in protest of the agency's refusal to allow over-the-counter sales of emergency contraception.
Susan Wood, director of FDA's Office of Women's Health, announced her resignation in an e-mail to colleagues at the agency. The e-mail was released by contraception advocates. Thursday, July 28, 2005 Financial Calculators at Dinkytown.net
Monday, July 18, 2005 Age of Mythology
I've been playing Age of Mythology lately. I visited Ensemble Studios (in Dallas) to see some of my old buddies and I got to try out the latest build of Age of Empires III. It got me a bit nostalgic, but instead of busting out AOK, I decided to get AOM, which I had actually never played. Guess-the-google
There's a new game in town: Guess-the-google. Try it out. You're given a series of 20 pictures from Google's images and have to guess what keyword triggered them.
It's not as easy as you might think. Thursday, July 14, 2005 Michelle Wie crushes opponent
Michelle moved a step closer to The Masters by winning her 2nd round match in the 80th U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. She beat C D Hockersmith with a score of 6 & 5; she is now in the top 16. Sunday, June 19, 2005 UNBELIEVABLE!
I wonder how this will damage Formula 1 in the USA? Ferrari win six-car US Grand Prix Tuesday, June 14, 2005 The Wired Home
I'm gonna check this stuff out. Home Automation: mControl can operate and automate items such as lighting, a gas fireplace, sprinkling systems, HVAC systems, security cameras, and a hot tub to name few. mControl has been designed for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, however, can also be run on Windows XP Pro, and viewed from Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Wednesday, June 08, 2005 Google Mail frickin' rocks
The geeks at Google just continue to impress me. I can't remember the last time I received spam in my Gmail inbox. So I checked the "spam" folder. It was chock full of good juciy pr0n spam, penis enlarging spam, and mortgage pusher spam. So, I am still getting it, I'm just don't have to look at it. And zero false positives as well. Very handy. And have you seen Google's new personalized homepages? Very nice. Thank you Google! Monday, June 06, 2005 What's the next big game?
So what's the next big one we'll all be playing? (If Wifey let's us?) Rise & Fall: Civs at War? Age of Empires III? Heaven vs Hell? Star Wars: Empire at War? Company of Heroes? or will it be Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends? OMFG! Friday, June 03, 2005 The Anecdotes of J. Brooks Dann
So I finally got my copy of Anecdotal. I started in on the first chapter last night. I won't give a review yet, but it's clear why he went with Dog-Ear as his publisher. :-) UPDATE: That sounds off. Here's what I meant. Wednesday, May 25, 2005 My bro wrote a book!!
Jeremy Dann gets published! He wrote this book called Anecdotal or Anecodotal, depending on who's in charge of the marketing materials (and no I'm not getting referrer points here - JD is). It's about an MBA who lays shirtless in his bed with a laptop on his chest. Or so it appears from the cover. Pretty compelling stuff, I'd say. And I'm not kidding, the publisher actually had this to say: Jake Tanner is a 31-year-old itinerant consultant, quasi-journalist and regular man-about-town in post dot com San Francisco. When he decides to add dilettante raconteur to his impressive list of credentials, he starts to capture the hopes, dreams and social commitments of the new millennium male - moments big and small... anecdotes of life, love and leisure. But when his relationship takes a sudden unexpected turn, he finds that narrating one's own life isn't... Actually, this is Jake and I have to admit that I enjoy writing back cover copy even less than I like reading it, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. But I posed in my underwear for the painting on the cover, and I think that demonstrates real commitment to my craft.Okay, truth be told, JD (or J. Brooks Dann as he is going by now - how pretentious) is not really my brother. But I did sit NEXT to him at Harvard Business School! Hey... maybe we can get Glenn Reynolds to do a book review? Or maybe a plug on Instapundit? Friday, February 11, 2005 How is a blog different from a discussion board?
In this article The author asks a snarky-good question: "When are they going to learn what a blog is? Hint: Free Republic isn't one, doesn't have one, and its commenters are not 'bloggers.'"
Is the distinction merely about the number of potential editors or thread starters or whether those thread starters have some sort of editing process? Robert Scoble chats with the fired Google blogger
Robert Scoble of Microsoft has dinner with the fired Google blogger, Mark Jen. He was the guy fired by Google because of stuff he wrote on his blog. A while back there was a bit of controversy when his blog mysteriously disappeared off the web. People began to suspect he'd been sacked. Or worse! Turns out he had been sacked. And if you had read his blog back then (it's been toned down) you might understand why.
When I first read Mark's blog comments, I thought he was a litle too bold in his commentary. He did appear quite negative. If I had just started at Google, I would have been writing, "Damn, free food!" Not, "There must be an evil consipracy to keep you here 24/7." That's just bad manners. I equate that to visiting a friend's house for dinner and telling him and his wife how bad the food tastes. Not good manners. Not a good thing to do. So the host asked Mark to leave on account of his bad manners. Was that evil? No. Monday, February 07, 2005 Super Bowl Ads
You can watch all of the Super Bowl Ads you missed over at iFilm. I think my favorites were the AmeriQuest ads: Don't be quick to judge.
The Olympus m:robe commercial was the best new gadget; it looks very cool. I like the iPod, and I like my digital camera. I just never have both at the same time. Hmmm, I just worry about battery life on something like that, though. The Budweiser parachute ad made me laugh out loud (but not as loud as the AmeriQuest ads), while the thanking the troops ad brought a tear to my eye. GoDaddy.com was probably the most effective. I have never heard of GoDaddy.com and now I will probably never forget it! BTW, the NFL forced Fox to pull a second GoDaddy.com ad which was supposed to air later in the game. But after they saw the first one, they nixed it. Supposedly. UPDATE: There's a short discussion of the merits of the Napster subscription program at Scobleizer. |
