Trying out the new Intense Debate plugin for WordPress. Moving comments off of my blog, even with syncing, scares me. Plus, iframes are just wrong.
Mac users: you ever just run Console while your using your machine? Wow there is a lot of trash programs dump to console.
- Installing Parallels 4.0.
- So great: Vista has decided it is no longer “genuine” in the middle of the Parallels 4.0 upgrade. Vista, I hate you. Really. Hate.
- Windows XP images seem to have upgraded to Parallels 4.0 fine. Windows Vista? BSOD and seems completely SOL.
Just won the Change Game on 36¢. Dime, 4 nickels, 6 pennies!
Any suggestions on what to do with a bunch of old laserdiscs? I’m not going to hook up the player, and capturing them to iTunes is painful.
After more than a year of grinding my espresso at 3, I moved to 1. Finer grind. It’s like discovering a whole new thing. Amazing.
So, when can we get a POTUS Podcast going. Please add that to the list for change.gov.
MobileMe sync is really pathetically bad.
Major GTD action from Tammy and I in the Thingelstad house.
At Madagascar with Mazie. She is “excited”.
Cold out today, but not too cold to fire up the Big Green Egg for some burgers.
Checking out Art Attack in Northeast. Loved this painting from Eddie Hamilton so much it is coming home with us.
Mazie is absolutely in love with this mornings snow! Pretty morning walk with the dogs earlier.
Contribution to High Resolution Album Art
I’m a big fan of high resolution album art. It improves the overall music experience for me. I like having a high-quality album cover while listening to Apple TV. It’s a must for cover flow in iTunes. I recently went through and tried to close to 100% coverage of album art, which meant scanning some covers that I just couldn’t find anywhere on the Internet. I figured I should share that work, so that others can more easily put the right art on their music. Here are 11 covers all at 1,600 by 1,600 pixels that I scanned for my collection.
Tammy out tonight and what do I watch in the background thread on TV? Nova “Fractals”. Frontline. Man I’m a geek.
Mazie's 2008 School Picture
Mazie’s 2008 school picture just came in. Here is Daddy’s little girl. Last years scowl seems entirely gone.
Double Espresso
Just had one of those coffee shop experiences that drive me crazy.
barista: Hello! What would you like today?
me: Double Espresso please.
barista: Ah, what exactly do you mean by a double espresso.
I mean really? What is hard about this?
And then, just to highlight how uncoffee they are, the smallest ceramic mug is a 12 oz. coffee cup. Oh the humanity of it all. 🙂
My MacBook Pro is up to 133 °F. No wonders my arms are sweating. Time to shut it down for the night. Time to sleep.
- Glued to election coverage. This will be the rest of the night.
- Yes! Congrats Barack Obama. Now comes the hard part.
- Somebody with the right font, quick whip up a “Yes We Did” poster!
- Is there a glass wall in front of Obama? Saw a reflection in one of the shots from behind him.
- Coleman/Franken race is amazingly close. This won’t be settled for a while.
I Voted, 2008!
I got out and placed ballot #382 this morning around 8:30 am. Contrary to what I’ve heard in many precincts there was almost no line and I was able to walk in and out in about 10 minutes. I talked to my mother who said it took her about an hour and she had to stand in lines over a hundred people long. There was a longer line in 2006, but I also voted right at poll opening that day with ballot #37.
