Tenant cuts 7ft hole in billboard blocking his window
Talk about intrusive advertising. I don’t understand how the guy managed to put up with having his view blocked by a billboard for over a year. Can anyone blame him for taking a saw to it?

RSS fever
Time for some more geek talk. I’ve been spending the day playing with RSS feeds on my little portal (again). I was spurred on by an encouraging email I got from Prentiss Riddle, who keeps a great weblog.
The ugly world of PCs
Jessica and I got plenty of exercise today. We walked to the far end of town to look at the wares at PCworld.

Drunken rock star assaulted aircraft crew, court told
Peter Buck has been known to behave a bit oddly in the past (he spent most of 1995 getting drunk in his dressing gown). Still, I always thought he was something of a gentle giant at heart.

I spent most of today making tweaks and changes to my little portal.

This is fun: a page of speculative designs for future Macs.

The Giant Sand concert was lots of fun.
