SOA Textbooks
You know, there’s nothing that makes me feel dumber than getting some books from Amazon and then realizing that, effectively, they’re textbooks. Same hardcover weight, same paper stock. Sheesh, I mean I want to know as much SOA as possible, but why make me feel like I’ve got to go back to school to do it right? ;)

Yeah, it’s a Vista font. That doesn’t mean I can’t like it, does it?

Wow, this is about the neatest Excel trick I’ve seen. I didn’t realize you could do this, and now that I do, it’s obvious and a significant workflow enhancer. Rock on, Excel!

And, while I’m being a product whore, David Barr pointed out this nifty little extension when we were working to test out our new search cluster. Slick little tool in the Fx bag o’ tricks.

You know I’m a gadget whore, right? New Logitech notebook mouse? Sign me up. What what? The USB receiver is smaller than a nickel, including the plug? If I plug it into my notebook, I can’t see it? The freewheel/clickwheel actually works without flipping the damn thing over like on the VX Revolution? Six months’ battery life? I think I’ve just had a stroke. (Yes, I...

Fans brave heat to pay homage to Elvis →
67-year-old guy from Jersey dies from the heat, and as I’m watching the little weather strumpet on Good Morning America tour Graceland, I turn to Emma and say, “See? That’s Elvis’ house.” She smiles, as kids often do, and asks, “Who’s Elvis?” … I have so much work to do.
Gapless
So, after searching for the Unicorn Chaser to “Sweet Caroline”, I finally decided to listen to “Abbey Road”, beginning to end. And, thank you Apple for the Gapless Album feature in iTunes. It’s perfect. (And before you say anything, I still have a vinyl copy of “Abbey Road” somewhere in some box at my Mom’s house. Abbey Road and the White Album. I...

More on Cracked Pepper
Still listening to Cracked Pepper off and on, and it got me to listen to the Kleptone’s “24 Hours”, which is also astoundingly good, but in a different way. And, more importantly, it’s got me listening to more Beatles, too. Not like I need a reason to, but it’s one of those things where I’ll stop listening to music aside from the commute into work and home from...
Cracked Pepper: Online now →
Fantastic mash-up of Sgt. Pepper with a bunch of other stuff out there, mostly other Beatles tracks. I’ve listened to the entire album several times this week, and it’s still surprising me.
