Yesterday went much better than Wednesday. The furnace-duct-cleaning guys showed up earlier than expected, and were done by noon. I spent the afternoon working on my writeup of this year’s WWDC and then went out for beers in the evening, first with Bill & Mark, and then later with Scott & Kat who’d left a message on my phone. Fun all around, but it slowed me down this morning. Oops.
If you’re interested in attending a Saints game this evening or tomorrow evening with me, I’ve got a spare ticket. Preference given to those who haven’t been to a game with me yet, since I know of at least a couple readers who fit that category. Note that it might rain, which means we might get wet. If that sounds good to you, Give me a shout.
- Jim’s been working on a Street Fest honoring the 1934 Minneapolis Truckers’ Strike and thinks you should all go. The Minnesota Historical Society has a good history of what happened. You can also check out the 1934 strike committee’s webpage [jim]
- The Missing sculpture resurfaces behind art studio. It’s been turned over to the police who dusted it for prints and then to the City, who will hopefully reinstall it soon. [strib]
- In his Surfin’ Safari blog, Dave Hyatt talks about the extensions to HTML that Apple’s making to support Dashboard and the
real-world standards compliance
the team tries to adopt, which means they’re going to have to add some tags that were previously only used by IEWin. I dunno. I’d prefer everything move to XHTML (my site has), but Dave says there are many problems with XHTML. I can’t argue that, but I’d prefer to see browsers get fixed, rather than adding more cruft to the already-dead HTML 4.0. [scripting] - There was a contest among link-spammers recently to see who get could the most google-juice for a previously unused two-word phrase. After they spent a month building link-farms and such, Anil Dash’s Single Post Wins Google Contest handily. If you want good page-rank on google,
the best thing you can do is to write really good material
. [boing boing] - Ewan asks his readers to Join Me In My Farewell “Do Somthing Mad in London”, and the something mad is to visit every tube station in Zone 1 in three-and-a-half hours. Cool goal. [boing boing]
- Here’s a Better Personality test. It’s kinda like Meyers-Briggs, but the axes are: Wacky (W) vs. Sober (S), Rational (R) vs. Emotional (E), Constructive (C) vs. Destructive (D), and Leader (L) vs. Follower (F). I turn out SEDF, which makes me an evil genius. Spooky. [accordionguy]
