The Only Living Boy Living In New York – Simon and Garfunkel
We are off to NY for a few days. A song from a million years ago. Love it still.
Month: December 2008
This year, all I really wanted for the holidays was the perfect smartphone. Not too much to ask for, right? You’d think, but all I ended up with was constant swapping between 3 (or more) devices, hoping to find some balance of features that worked for me. Instead of one “go to” phone, I juggled the iPhone 3G, T-Mobile G1, and BlackBerry Bold for the last few months, desperately wishing I could merge them into one perfect device.
All I wanted this year was the best smartphone ever – Engadget
my thoughts exactly.
Santa Claus brought James this racetrack.
And he brought me a Flip MinoHD
So I get to share both of them with this clip of my daughter Ellie and James that i took this morning.

Getting power to developing nations
Earlier this week I met with some very interesting people. I just can’t get that meeting out of my head.
I learned a lot about the realities of electricity in developing third world nations. It’s not just that electricity is expensive. It’s simply not available – period.
So what is the best way to get power to these people?
Thats the question. There are smart people working on this one. It’s going to take a lot of work and money and time.
But its well worth it.
There are some highly capital efficient models that seem to hold a lot of promise. That makes me quite optimistic for people like us to help fund these efforts.
I’m looking forward to learning more.

Great job Daniel & Jason for making this so easy.
The Fire and the Thud – Arctic Monkeys
I was needing an Arctic Monkeys fix last night. I went to the Hype Machine and this song came on. It’s not on any of their albums. Or at least on none of the ones I own. I gotta track this down.
Belle & Sebastian – Winter Wooskie
Christmas songs, day 12. Maybe more winter than christmas, but you can’t go wrong with B&S.
Great song. Thanks for posting this one Daryn!
So I buy all of this big, heavy, expensive stuff to take technically good but compositionally mediocre pictures of boring things. But I do it for me, because I’m slowly developing a skill that I’ve always wanted to have, and the process is producing results that I value highly. Any enjoyment or praise of my photos by others is a welcome bonus, but not the goal at all.
I love Marco’s photography. He’s a lot more talented that he lets on here.
But I know what he’s talking about. I feel the same way. I always wanted to have that skill too.
Balloono is the new Blockles. In just 1 day of beta testing, we got 40,000 plays. This will be the hottest game this holiday season. You should play all through Chrismas. You can take a break on New Years.
Reblog this for good luck!
Charles and team at IILWY are releasing one fantastic game after another right now. Congrats guys!
Geography – Thao Nguyen
You can tell that I’m completely smitten with Thao Nguyen. I don’t think i’ve ever posted two songs by the same artist back to back. I just can’t seem to get enough.
