Lost the War (2010)
I really like this and it’s even a free (legal) download.
After a week full of suck and a pretty exhausting Saturday too, this may be my view for much of the rest of the weekend.
At the end of a mildly insomniac week, I find myself on the verge of dropping off to sleep in the midst of this daylong data curation workshop. I think my whole table has pretty much moved on now and is surfing, tweeting, and sometimes even just openly conversing, but there’s an hour yet to go.
Things I’ve learned during the workshop:
- Dick Clark’s rock house is up for sale.
- I’d somehow never noticed it, but there’s a “find on page” option within Safari for iOS 5. That’s a big and much-needed improvement.
- Data curation is not as exciting as it sounds.

Thinking People (2010)
Sorry I was whiny earlier. I’ll shut up and play some music now…
…if I might soon be rewarded with one solid month where everything doesn’t suck?
It would be cool if I could schedule that for March, please.
So the Sears death spiral continues. I’ve had sex in their bathrooms, sworn at their lawyers, and occasionally even bought stuff there. I predict that by 2020 (if not sooner) none of these will be options anymore.
I’ve had my new iPhone for more than a week now and I have three thoughts on the subject:
- I’m glad I still have the unlimited data plan because now that I have an iPhone that actually works, I’m using a lot of data doing things like…oh…listening to Canadian radio stations in the car on my commute to and from work, etc.
- I have not yet done FaceTime. I’m not sure that this fact particularly distresses me, but some part of me feels that I should try it once before determining that I don’t like it any more than I like talking on the phone without visuals.
- I find an insincere “My pleasure!” just as annoying from Siri as I do from a cashier at Chick-fil-a.
Sorry. The headline just amused me.
That it should be so warm at 9PM in February makes me just a little unhappy. That it has been freakishly warm pretty much all winter long makes me feel just a little bit cheated.
