12. January, 2006 - grumpy
- If you’re looking for something other than the usual band this weekend? christopher shillock is playing the Red Sea this Saturday at 7:30 pm. Unfiltered cigarettes and black berets strictly optional. [steph]
- There was a Company Meeting at work yesterday. I had a couple things to say about it, but the basic idea is that it made me grumpy.
- Apple says it discards the information transmitted by iTunes when it puts up the mini-store for you. Aside from the fix suggested by the boing-boing readers, an even simpler fix is to just shut off the store functionality altogether. That’s the way I normally run, turning on the store only when I want to buy something, and because of this, I’ll probably turn it on less often. More marketing at work, pissing me off about a product. [boing boing]
- The A-Mill District towers are ground down by the Heritage Preservation Commission, and it looks like the plan will have to be scaled back. Which probably means that Marcy-Holmes will get a wall of condos, rather than the tall, thin towers that most folks preferred. Sigh. There’s more from Steph over at her site, including a picture. [lileks]
- Just one year behind oh-so-progressive Minneapolis, St. Paul OKs smoking ban. Smoke ’em if you got ’em, since it’s going to be banned everywhere soon. [press-patch]
- There’s some News on the Cory Maye Case: Bob Evans was fired as Prentiss public defender, but is still serving as the county public defender, and is still representing Cory Maye. [endwar]
- You know those CDs you burned years ago? They might be dead already. Apparently they only have a two to five year lifespan. So much for those old backups… [fark!]
- Just a thought: If Joey lived in the USA, things like his Greenbacks and Sam image would probably be banned under McCain-Feingold. But his campaign against Bulte has the strength of mostly being made up of her own words. Nice work, Joey. [accordionguy]
