On Indies
February 25th, 2006 music
Late to the party on this one, but it is interesting for a former-record label owner to read about the controversy re: co-op advertising/indie labels/best buy vs. Mom’nPop shops here: saki store blog
I haven’t fully processed the passing of Caulfield Records, nor some of the loose ends involved. I might write about it here, but somehow I haven’t gotten to the point of truly pouring my heart out into web-log format.
maybe someday. maybe never.
402, baby!

Area Code, Sweet Area Code I kept 402 when I moved because friends and family can call a local number, but I’d be lying if it wasn’t partly because Nebraska is the best. Shh… it’s a secret.

del.icio.us daily blog posting considered harmful
February 17th, 2006 blog
I’ve given up on the automated
del.icio.us daily blog posting
. In theory, pretty cool, but in practice not so good for me. Daily posts of links look… well… ugly.
I use del.icio.us quite a lot, but those daily posts are going to outweigh regular posts - always. why do you care? Well, maybe you would be interested in the javascript linkrolls or perhaps the json implementation. Good stuff.
damn straight.

The Art of Alex Gross
February 13th, 2006 cata-wha?
If the ol’ laptop power meter was sayin’ more than the 6% it’s tellin’ me it has righ now, I’d be surfin’ Alex Gross’s fine website of illustrations.
It’s also time for bed.
Hey, WordPress!
February 13th, 2006 blog
Just a thank you shout to the wordpress community of developers, plug-in hackers and theme developers for making personal web publishing, err.. web-loggering interesting again. I’ve been playing around with blog software for a long time - Blogger (the non-hosted era), greymatter, and more recently Movable Type which powered this site (in fits and starts, of course) for a few years.
And somewhere along the line… MT v3, I believe, I got bored. I got bored because I am more of a tinker-er than a ‘blogger’, and MT 3 threw in a ton of template cruft, and sad default templates that it didn’t seem fun to re-engineer the templates to a simple state. And then there is perl. Guh. So WordPress, thanks for making playing with the web during off-hours fun again.
