I just got some photos back from the lab. I'll be posting them here as soon as get my network thingy back from the office and find some time to scan them in.

This is so cute. Emily's first blog. ;)

Why I'm Joining a Startup: "There's something about being here in Silicon Valley, listening to these idealistic and hopeful entrepreneurs talk, that gets to you. You think you're happy with your writing career, and then you meet a teenager who has never had it drummed into him that he has to be a doctor or lawyer or even a computer scientist to be successful, who has never been told he can't do his own thing, who just goes and makes something cool."

right now I like fcuker in gray. purple is running a close second..

I had no idea that tucows was playing in the online music game. I'm not sure how it relates to their original name: The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software...but, hey, that's evolution.

You may be sick of hearing about the Amazon patent fiasco, but it's very important that they are stopped from stifling innovation on the Internet. Please take a moment to read and think about Tim O'Reilly's Open Letter to Jeff Bezos.

I would like to announce the launch of my one-click affiliates program. (patent pend.)

web queeries is a new, very active team blog. great name!

Almost Cut My Hair: "I could have said it was in my way."

AMG: "Combining light funk with frothy pop, Haircut 100 was one of the cleanest and most accessible new wave groups."

People I Could Do Without: #32. "...If I get a haircut and I really like it, I've been known to tip 40%. If I'm at a restaurant and the waitress doesn't even make eye contact or at least pretend to care about how my food is, I can be a real bastard. I know that some people don't tip much or at all, but nobody should expect me to tip more than what someone is worth. Whoever made up that 15% stuff is full of shit."

New Choices: Hairstylist: 15 percent of your bill.
