Dave Winey

Courtesy of del.icio.us, Dave Winer whines about the open source software developed by Dean and Clark campaigns to run their online campaigns. Winer’s key quote: “How sad to see two leading Democrats fall for, even feed the lie that they can create user-oriented software for free.” I don’t know, but I think that (for one),… Continue reading Dave Winey

exercise

I just found “Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Body Workout” on Apple iTunes. It’s basically an Arnold work out tape, where he exhorts you to “concentrate on that tricep,” “squeeze! crunch! crunch,” “and make your thighs burn!” to such classics as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “867-5309,” “Let Your Body Rock,” and (my personal favorite) “It’s Raining Men.” Luckily,… Continue reading exercise

The End (well, sortof)

The semester ended yesterday. Everyone seems to be glad of that. I’d have to agree – this semester has been pure hell in some respects. I got a lot of work done, though – and hopefully next semester will be a little calmer. We kicked off the end of the semester with a party at… Continue reading The End (well, sortof)

Yes, more child’s play

According to Penny Arcade Child’s Play is going well. The response was so huge that the post office couldn’t deliver them. As in “3 truckloads worth.” Response from people I know has generated $100, so if people are interested, let me know
