There’s a new entry up, at last, under the September archive for the England travel journal. I forgot to set the temporal displacement/flux capacitor thingy but the entry is now in it’s rightful place and time on September 20th. It covers just one day and night spent in Carlisle. The next entry after that will be the one with all the pictures of walking in Yorkshire, and that means (shudder) lots of Photoshop Elements. Fortunately, not too much fixing, futzing, and cropping, just adding frames. I’m regretting (now) using the rather tacky “photocorners” provided with Elements, and will stick to…

MAJORITY REPORT RADIO, the last live show of the day over at Air America Radio. I’m kind of glad I missed the fart machine, but I did get a kick out of “backwards day at the White House.” That’s “http://www.majorityreportradio.com/”, everyone, they don’t announce the URL of the weblog often enough. The comments for each day are the place to be just now, but someone named Dave at ISU started an IRC channel for easier chatting: For the IE users: irc://us.undernet.org/MajorityReport otherwise, in your IRC client /server us.undernet.org /j #MajorityReport Interesting note from the website provider, from today’s thread (601…

Man, this doesn’t look good. Guess I’ll quit packing for now.

David’s sent his resume’ off to a major Internet company and thinks he’s got a realistic chance. We’re shooting for the moon here, but “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” Sorry what I said earlier about it being an outrage. Hope this doesn’t screw up his chances. Edited to add: Here’s the email David sent off with his resume’… And here’s mine… And so now all we do is wait for the call.

Google climbs on the outsourcing bandwagon – it’s sheer lunacy, I tell you.

Chicago Tribune | :NPR’s replacement of host Edwards met with wide criticism Yep, and there’re at least two online petition drives. One of them is SaveBobEdwards.com I’m still hoping it’s an extremely elaborate April Fools’ joke, but it doesn’t look that way. I wonder if my cousin Bill will make good on his threat to rescind his :NPR pledge over the issue?

Woops, here’s a cool thing or three: MAJORITY REPORT RADIO, the night show on Air America with Janeane Garofalo and Sam Seder, has its own blog. They mentioned Atrios by name, but there was some confusion over whether Atrios or someone else was interviewed. More radio news – hey, WXRT has a live feed now!! I’ve been looking for this for a while – the last time I checked was a few months back. Maybe I missed it, buried as it was in the lower left corner under all the screen chaff. But they’re an AOL broadband partner, and I…

Google’s at it again… Search is Number Two Online Activity – Email is Number One; “Heck, Yeah,” Say Google Founders MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – April 1, 2004 UTC – Amidst rampant media speculation, Google Inc. today announced it is testing a preview release of Gmail – a free search-based webmail service with a storage capacity of up to eight billion bits of information, the equivalent of 500,000 pages of email. Per user. The New York Times has it, so it must be true… heck, yeah! Check that dateline, NYT?

I’ve enjoyed listening to Air America/Al Franken et. al. today… that is, when I can pull in a decent signal on my crappy AM radio upstairs, or when the streaming audio happens to be working, but for the most part it’s been fun listening to it (especially today, when they’ve had some high-powered guests lined up). Most of the callers sound extremely surprised to find themselves on the air (and sound like they’re talk-radio call-in newbies). They’re not quite up to the calibre of, say, callers to :NPR’s “Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me.” Maybe it’ll improve. On a quick survey,…
