Watch these movies, then we can talk (kottke.org)
April 27th, 2006A list of 102 movies you must see to be film literate. Compiled by Jim Emerson. I've got some work to do.
Some videos I’ve been waiting to go live on google video finally have. Here they are, in no particular order:
Montie skiing down a hill while we were cross-country skiing in NC:
Me falling off while snow tubing (this one cracks me up):
Ryan tubing:
Random redneck on the ropeswing at Suck Creek. Sadly, I didn’t […]
Use of liquid nitrogen to remove duct tape from a homicide victim.

Baseball Statistics [alexreisner.com]

NYT: This Boring Headline Is Written for Google
April 10th, 2006I do this, and while it sometimes makes me sad, it's about more than search engines, it's about usability too. Also to its credit, this article taught me a new word: quotidian.
I’ve been climbing twice in the last week or so, and am enjoying the spring weather (finally) a great deal. The first trip out, my form was good until halfway through my second climb, when my arms gave out. Weak! Had fun anway. We went to Leda (aka Leeda, aka Leida, aka Lleda, etc…) in […]

April 6th, 2006I am intrigued by kite aerial photography, so when I found a KAPer on flickr, I was excited. In this particular photo, you can see what is called the opposition effect. Read about it in the 2nd comment. New to me; very interesting.
Who and whom
April 6th, 2006Usage of 'who' and 'whom' broken down case by case. Don't miss the rules at the bottom of the page. I think I've finally got this.
A couple days ago, I received two items that I purchased on eBay that will enable me to create some new types of content for this website. I’m excited about the possibilities.
First, I got a helmet cam. I hope to use it for mountain biking, and when the season comes around again, cross-country skiing, and […]
Sonos Digital Music System
April 2nd, 2006As many have said, Sonos could do for home audio what the iPod did for portable music. I have dreamt of a system just like this, and while I knew the technology existed, I thought the realization was far away. I lust for one. Check it out.
