clock — watching time, the only true currency

How to tell a story?
At work, the challenge that has grown over the last several weeks is how to tell a story. Well, not only how to tell a story, but what is the story? And who is the audience? We’re trying to take another step forward, and we’re not sure which direction to start [...]

Man on a run
It takes a bite out of my normal sleep, but I’m getting out for a run again this morning… that’s always worth it. Especially since I’m meeting my college acquaintance, so I know I don’t have to go it alone. Miles pass much faster with a companion, though the clock doesn’t always [...]

Corrupting my son, part 1
This morning I got my son to type his name, as well as MOMMY and DADDY, in BBEdit 7.0. I’m a proud parent, but I’m also aware that I’m probably starting something I may not be ready for: more competition for the computer. That will finally push us to be a [...]

More than I ever wanted to know about Unicode
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: read Tim Bray’s ongoing. It’s the only site I’ve found time to add to my links for this site, and it’s worth the text. Another article about Unicode today… a topic I don’t really care much about, but I [...]

Amazing ad: Rube Goldberg for Honda
Check out this two minute long ad for a Honda stationwagon. The funny part is that I just watched it and I guess I remember, barely, that it’s an Accord. Here are some details about how it was made, in a Daily Telegraph (UK) article. 606 takes. Ouch. [via Scoble]

Surprised it took this long
Here’s the first book about Napster. I’m surprised it took this long to come out, honestly. I was wondering if John Borland would write such a book. I’ll have to check in with my friend Rich and learn what he thinks of this telling of the tale, since Rich was there [...]

HYPs, in that order
Ten years ago, I would have been sitting in the six seat for H in this race (scroll down to the April 26th results). I honestly can’t remember whether or not we won 10 years ago, although I think my overall history at HYPs was not strong in my three years of [...]

Mornings
All my active energy is in the mornings. But my free time is in the evenings. Seems like a problem, doesn’t it?
