@steveportigal wired kb & mouse on top of the tv. it's a singularly unambitious solution: the only new cost was the dvi to RCA video cable.

@steveportigal Nothing fancy: an old mac mini used mostly for dvd, web video, hulu + a MacBook in bedroom for dvd's & Netflix streaming.

Experimenting with mapping OSM http://www.openstreetmap.org/ with my iPhone. Much easier, more fun than Nokia N810.

I'm looking forward to the day when my competitors remove their content from Google's index. How about you?

Fantastic Mr. Fox is everything I'd hoped it would be: beautiful, funny, smart. Can't remember the last time I had this much fun at a movie.

No streams of Macy's parade are available. You'd think it would unavoidable, considering it's 88% advertising and 12% filler.

If it's not careful, News Corp may wind up paying to be indexed, rather than getting paid. Who'd miss the NYPost if they weren't in Google?

OpenX completely failed me this weekend on a rush ad order. I'm actively investigating Google Ad server, but I'm open to other ideas, too.

Coastside election results are in and reported. Hotly contested sewer board election decided by 1 vote, at least as of now.

county is taking forever to report precinct results. only absentee so far.

The nastiest election on the Coastside this year: El Granada's sewer board. Now that's hyperlocal.

I just voted. With some big races in other Coastside towns, I'll be busy reporting results tonight.

@lisawilliams excellent advice.

@agahran Outing the bad guys may help you let go. The trick is not letting it become a crusade, or a jihad, depending on your inclinations.
