Turning in. Good night, twitter friends!
January 2008
Ran a couple miles on the treadmill during the debate; missed some of it but I saw Hillary use the best line of the night.
Twitter peeps ready to jump to Pownce yet?
Obama says the “experts” are going to explain the drug co’s business to us? Uhm, no thanks.
Hillary is 10X the policy wonk that Obama is on healthcare.

From Rachel - ‘It’s awesome…Amazing.’
As I suspected, a kid that reads deserves this. Obviously the price is insane for most.
As most have already complained, the buttons are bad - too many actually as well, and the design is just bland.
It’s about the WORDS though. Rachel could give a rat’s ass about design walking around the house or reading while I work out at the gym.
I can’t believe how...
Had another excellent Macanudo Maduro on the way home today. Do they make a better cigar?
Time to go pick up dinner from Mi Piaci. Couples pizzas and a couple Caesar salads.

PBS show on the red knot bird and horseshoe crab - Sunday, 2/10.
Engaging a state IT official (not in NJ) on web2.0 ideas and practices. Labelling web video, rss, etc. “gizmos” is ignorant, IMHO.
Climate change docs and government directories at the top of today’s to-do list.
Joe Jackson - The Uptown Train →
Joe Jackson put out a new album today called Rain. I’m going to see Joe later on this spring. Here’s “The Uptown Train,” enjoy!
3 miles on the treadmill with LCD Soundsystem’s “45:33” - music meant for working out, literally.
Heading down for a few miles on the treadmill.
I don’t need free health care, but I don’t want to live in Mitt Romney’s world.

I wish ScribeFire would let me add new tags to posts, not just select from the tags I’ve already used.
Relaxing after dinner with the family. Uploading music to my blog. Any requests?
Spotty internet connectivity at work makes me crazy!
Prepping for work.
New music transferred to the mp3 player. Time to go to bed. Good night, twitter friends!
New music in the download folder: Black Mountain, The Mars Volta, Joe Jackson and Vampire Weekend.
End of the month. Time to fire up emusic!
Is the Gmail spam filter sleeping on the job a little recently, or is it just me?
Adios, Rudy.
Flyers win in overtime with an amazing goal!

Woolworths has declared a winner in the next generation DVD format war and it’s not HD DVD. Yesterday, the British chain said it will stock only Blu-ray discs, becoming the first major retailer to drop HD DVD.
Woolworths’ decision came after it found Blu-ray movies outsold HD DVD by 10 to 1 in its 820 stores. “Sales figures clearly show that the market is moving toward one format of...

Taking a latte break from the Pew climate workshop prep.
Listening to The Mars Volta album, Frances the Mute. If you like harder-edged music, I recommend a listen.
Not watching Bush. He’s irrelevant. I’m not getting all worked up, but to anyone who voted for him in Y2K: What the ?#!@%$ were ya thinking?
Just LinkedIn with a friend from 4th grade who I used to play Star Wars with. I love these tubes!

Heading to design meeting for internal newsletter.
NJ lawmakers plug into alternative energy bills →
If you’re a fan of alternative energy, you would have enjoyed today’s meeting of the New Jersey Assembly’s Environment and Solid Waste Committee. The committee released legislation combining three bills—A1612, A385 and A1781—that exempt from local property taxes any equipment added to a residence, commercial or industrial property, or mixed-use building if the...
Heading out to lunch and thinking about home-based businesses.

In the networked web era, influentials may not be people with a particularly connected temperament or Rolodex, or people who control and influence monopoly distribution channels (e.g. newspapers), but rather people who influence the network by leveraging the most powerful force on the web — the link. People like bloggers, top Diggers, del.icio.us power users, Facebook users who share lots of...

The “insane turnout” at Democrat primaries reflects a gradual shift in importance from television and paid media to field canvassers, “ethnically and demographically matched” to voters. The powerful, yet dysfunctional, “perfect storm” of volunteers who powered Howard Dean’s Iowa surge in 2004...
It's Time to Drink Toilet Water →
Source: Slate | Author: Eilene Zimmerman | Date: 28 Jan 2008
Last week, officials in Orange County, California, opened the world’s largest water purification project, the toilet-to-tap recycling system. For decades, American cities have been using recycled water for agricultural and landscaping needs, so the switch to drinking water seems like an obvious one. However, most people just...
