Yeah, I know it's been done before. Yeah, I know just about everyone else has linked to it. But some things you just gotta do, so if you haven't been there yet, go check it out. Warning: long load time + music.

Did you know there was

Did you know there was a World Oil magazine? Me neither. They're now publishing a rumor that the current gas crunch is an Arab plot to punish Gore for picking a Jewish running mate. And of course, having the opposing side be two oilman ain't a bad deal for them, either.

According to CNET News, Apple

According to CNET News, Apple says "our Power Mac G4 Cube is off to a slower-than-expected start, resulting in revenues below expectations." I hate to say it, but I told you so.

In his latest column, Cringely

I'd like to point out,

I'd like to point out, just for the record, that there was absolutely no slobbering or drooling after I turned the new TV on for the first time. I was relatively dignified. Sort of.

The Dave Winer flames Tim

The Dave Winer flames Tim O'Reilly discussion has moved over to Tim's Weblog discussion board, where Dave can't censor the direction. It's mostly interesting because of a few old faces showing up; so far, Jon Pugh and Preston Holmes have been heard from.

It's like something out of Life of Brian... I wrote an essay about how I felt like I didn't fit in at Fray Day 4, and lots of people wrote back that they felt the same way, or nearly so. If everyone's perceiving themselves on the outside and everyone else as being on the inside, who's really in/out?

Like I said: plenty of things to think about

From what I can tell,

Take a look at this

Take a look at this site. Now, take a look at this one. Looks kinda familiar, huh?

I went to Fray Day

I went to Fray Day 4 last Friday. I had a few thoughts I wanted to put up here, but by the time they all came out it was long enough to get its own page. Feel free to let me know what you think, particularly if you were there.
