Finally finished a one-page vanity site: jimlosby.com. You can only do so much to get the Twitter and Flickr badge xhtml to validate before you waste your time.
There's a little behind-the-scenes integration with Movable Type to get the current entries from ivory-tower.org and redblogchetta.com to show up, courtesy of the MultiBlog plugin.
Enjoy!
Hmmm...so I posted on Twitter about buying shoes from Zappos and having them arrive the next day and the coolness of that and the next day the CEO of Zappos starts following me.
Nice!
Great. Toasted my main MT template accidentally yesterday while putting together another weblog's template. Always work on a backup, kids.
Time to revert to an older home page and work up something new.
I'm generally not a big browser of YouTube, but I know there's lots of archival stuff there from my favorite bands lurking about.
Chris Squire playing a Fender Jazz and not his traditional Rickenbacker? Absolutely furious playing by Steve, Chris, and Alan in the studio.
I'm really not a fan of this song (Parallels) as I am the rest of the tracks off of their 1977 return, Going for the One, but I'm starting to come around. Need to set aside some time and see what else rare and unusual Yes stuff is up on YouTube.
Returning to television after a 33-year gap, Rush will play Tom Sawyer on The Colbert Report tonight at 11:30 pm EST. Set those VCRs/TIVOs.
Got a look at the family plan prices for the new iPhone. Base plan is $130 for two lines? No thanks. That's just $10 cheaper than having two single-line plans. Either $30 for unlimited text messages or $0.20 each--nothing in between like the single-line plans? Talk about making an exciting product significantly less exciting.
Guess I'll be buying an iPod touch instead.
Looks like Sutliff Bridge is gone. Bummer.
Oh rats. This summer's Close to the Edge and Back 40th Anniversary Tour has been canceled.
Yes frontman and founding member Jon Anderson was admitted to the hospital last month after suffering a severe asthma attack. He has now been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by doctors this weekend that he needs to rest and not work for a period of at least six months or suffer further health complications. Upon receiving this news the band has determined that their tour plans need to be put on hold.
Damn. I even had some pretty decent seats, too.
Ten years ago (OK, May 6, 1998) the iMac was introduced. I'd argue that this is the product that really brought Apple back. Granted, they missed the target on a couple of things, mostly the round mouse and the lack of CD burning. Dropping ADB and serial stuff for USB was a huge step forward and a bit risky.
I've still got my rev B version, which makes it just over 9 years old.
TORN chats with del Toro about some basic plans for The Hobbit and whatever they'll call that pesky second film. Not too much info, but worth a read.
