notes from the desk of...


  • Emily has another great photo published on Gapers Block today. Very very nice.


  • Speaking of Gaper's Block, I'm re-posting my response to today's 'Fuel' here, so I can save my summer 2004 playlist for posterity:

  • But seriously, one of the best things about keeping a blog is that I have a record of experiences that I can refer back to later to see what I was thinking/seeing/doing/listening to/etc at a certain time in my life. Even in the short few years(?) I have been doing this, I know I have recorded many things I would have thought about and let pass out of my mind to be lost forever.


  • Speaking of blogging experiences, my best friend/college roomate, Alex, (that also happened to introduce me to Emily) is now blogging. Read about his experiences in [his freshly transplanted location of] Boston at Disinformation. Unlearn with Disinformation.


  • Speaking of information-- here's an interesting dynamic data-mining application. More specifically, the Amazon Browser and Google Browser are intriguing programs-- albiet not really very useful.
