Our due date (November 26th) is approaching fast, and thankfully we were able to get a lot of baby-related things done this weekend. My biggest accomplishment was putting together our new crib. Casey ordered it from the Sears website on Tuesday, and it was ready for pick-up at the Grand Forks store on Wednesday. Some […]
My spontaneous Saturday night project turned out to be updating the blogging software that manages this site to Movable Type 3.2, the latest version released just this week. I took the opportunity to do some house cleaning and take care of a few other things I’ve had on my to-do list: Update the look of […]
I’m still not sure if I believe this forecast from the Weather Channel: Honestly – I realize this is Grand Forks, but snow in August? I’ll take a few photos if the white stuff actually materializes…
Update 8/28/2005 @ 9:10 PM: After downloading Last.fm’s desktop player, I wasn’t impressed. The streaming music would drop every five seconds, even on the direct Internet connection I have at my office. I used Pandora for a couple of days on my Macintosh, and it worked perfectly.

I first listened to the audiobook version back in February and started it again while on an after-work walk today. WOW!! I absolutely love Tom’s books and articles. He is so passionate, so ticked off, that you can’t help […]

One good business reason for this plan is to simply lower Google’s monthly […]
Update (8/15/2005 @ 11:30 am): I’ve made some changes to my hcard example below after receiving some feedback from Brian Suda, who’s written a cool little tool that extracts hcards from web pages.
