Craig Z has posted a ton of live videos from various live shows from the early/mid 90’s up at myspace.
I think I’ve seen most of these bands. I’m 95% sure I was at that Picasso Trigger show in the videos, and there is a good chance I was at the Geezer Lake show as well.

Just got back from Red Hat Summit/FUDcon in Boston. Spent most of the week up there. I guess the big thing was that RHN Sattelite is open sourced in the form of Spacewalk. Gave a talk or two on func.

Okay, not science. But just some Magic Rocks growing in my cube at work.

Attempting to run errands was a mistake. Glad I didn’t go into work today.
Reddit/digg etc seem to be dominated by posts about cults these days. I’m not sure if the scientology or the gtd folks scare me more. If I could figure out how to sell e-meters to productivity types, I could make a fortune. Maybe something once I clear off the todo list.
Motorcycle hill climbing on tv. Awesome. 220hp nitro burning dirt bikes. Be There!
Totally forgot about Henry Rollins being in town tonight. Enjoyed the spoken word/standup/storytelling gig I caught at Lincoln Theater a few years ago. “I’m a trekkie for King Crimson!”.
I don’t buy as many shoes as some people. But I ordered some shoes from Zappos last night at 10pm, and they were sitting outside the door this morning. Pretty impressive.

Seem to have picked up the cold that is going around. Nothing likes sneezes that make your shoulders and arms hurt.

Odd observation, if you make sweet tea with Earl Grey tea, it kind of tastes and smells like Fruit Loops.
