I just fired up Radio for the first time since this morning. One of the first things I saw was a blog entry over at Scriping News pointing to my friend Lukas’s post about his TiVo. I thought that was pretty cool. Then I noticed that Dave found it from John Robb, who found it from Jenny , who found it from me.
It would be really neet if there was some kind of easy way to follow the history of posts like this. I think it would be really interesting to follow the flow of data from blog to blog.
Lukas recently put a network connection into his TiVo and now has it doing a bunch of cool stuff. Now of course I really want to get that wireless card for the TiVo.
I cracked open a new bottle of port tonight. I haven’t been indulging that often, but tonight just felt like a good night for it. So I opened up a bottle of Warre’s Otima 10 year tawny porto. I have to say that it’s QUITE yummy. Luckily I stopped myself after half a bottle. Otherwise I might be hurting in the morning when my parents showed up.
MSNBC is supposedly going to be having blogs to replace their online discussion boards.
Blogâs the word at MSNBC.com. The Web news site will introduce a new Web logs section by the end of August, a move that will allow more editorial control over the opinionated ramblings of its former online chat boards. [CNET News.com]
Um, how does offering blogs give them more control over people’s ramblings? I couldn’t tell from this if the blogs are just for their commentators or for everyone, since they talked about using them to replace discussion boards.
When checking Automated Alice today I saw that someone is going to be publishing MegaTokyo. MegaTokyo has to be one of my favorite (if not my favorite) online comic. I’m so psyched for them.
A British teen has been jailed for 12 years for murdering his elderly neighbour and drinking her blood in a vampire ritual. Um? Only twelve years? That’s like a slap on the wrist isn’t it?
From over on Antipixel, a link to Kuro5hin:
Lai Lai Boy has written a decent capsule introduction to anime over at Kuro5hin.org.
I’d agree that it’s pretty decent. It’s a hard topic to write about in a simple sense, since anime covers so many genres of things. I was showing a friend KareKano last night because I wanted to show her something that was a little different from what most people think of anime as. She enjoyed it so I’ll make a point to show her some more of it soon.
You know how I’m always talking about remembering to say “Rabbit Rabbit” every 1st of the month? Well, over a harrumph! there’s now a place where you can put in your email address to get reminded every month.
My problem is remembering to say it before I utter the words, “I’ll have a french vanilla with one cream and one sugar”.

I’ve been a bit behind on the news the last few days, but as I always like to follow DMCA stuff I thought this was pretty interesting:
Document: HP backs off DMCA threat. Hewlett-Packard abandons legal threats it made against security analysts who publicized flaws in the company’s software. Read the company’s statement here. [CNET News.com] [jenett.radio]
Sometimes I wonder if computers make people slightly insane. It would explain a lot.
