Another reason I enjoy living in Nashville
A few minutes ago, I posted a couple of photo sets on Flickr. As I looked at them together, I felt a little amazed that I live in a place where I could take photos of otters, geese, turtles, herons, … Continue reading

Leopard notes
I’ll update this post over the course of the weekend with non-technical observations of Leopard: 1. I had to immediately change the desktop wallpaper to a solid background (blue). The default background has to be the ugliest desktop wallpaper ever. … Continue reading
How’d I miss this? Apple just turned Apple Mail into an RSS news reader
Talk about losing something in the shuffle. I totally missed any mention that a part of the Leopard upgrade would include the integration of RSS into Apple Mail. However, I just noticed the feature when Apple Mail auto-upgraded (is that … Continue reading
How “fun stuff” can save lives
View Larger Map I’ve blogged before (and here) how I believe that online “toys” like Twitter or Google Maps’ MyMaps feature can — after enough people play with them — become powerful platforms for telling stories and sharing information — … Continue reading

Why I’ve circled the date of the release of Leopard Server on my lame calendar software
Typically, I encourage the director of technology (or, as I say in jest, the director of hackology) at Hammock to go slow with upgrading our 25+ Macs when a new version of the Mac operating system arrives. With tomorrow’s release … Continue reading

This sorta sums it all up
I didn’t realize this blog was on Advertising Age’s “Power 150.” Ironically, I’m ranked 151 (or, at least I was when I noticed it). Also, ironically, there are 360 weblogs on the Power 150. This badge is supposed to show … Continue reading

This announcement by Union Square Ventures explains why they’ve invested in Tumblr.com. It also contains a detailed explanation of what a tumblelog is. I use Tumblr.com to aggregate all my posts, tweets, photo-sharing into one “lifestream” that I call “River … Continue reading
