    Star ratings seem such poor taste for Classical music. Is there a website for reliable metadata for classical music? Trying to get my classical section of iTunes cleaner.

    Created two new address book groups “MinneBar Pings” and “MinneDemo Pings” so I remember to nag people to get to events.

    MinneBar 6 Photos

    Yesterday was an absolutely great MinneBar event. I lugged the big camera around to get some shots. I didn’t get that many because I presented for the first three sessions. I got some good shots from the kick-off and a handful of others.

    Minnebar 6

    • I got the privilege of kicking off and introducing Ben and Luke this morning at MinneBar 6. About 1,000 people!
    • MinneBar 6 is going down as the best MinneBar yet in my book. Awesome everyone!
    • Leading a Minnebar talk on geeky tools to a room of geeks takes guts. Hats off.
    • MinneBar Unix Geek cat foo.txt | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c.
    • MinneBar Unix Geeks check out Cool, but obscure unix tools.
    • What a great event! Pano shot from the stage at the start of Minnebar.

    Twilight Zone on Netflix Streaming

    How great! I was looking at Netflix tonight via Apple TV and noticed that the original Twilight Zone series is now available. Watching season 1, episode 1, “Where is Everybody?” now.

    A couple of months ago we were at my Aunt Susie’s house and she had this bottle of wine with a very memorable name. Made me chuckle. 😀
