Live Blogging From Coachella 2007

I’m going to Coachella. It’s going to be great. Starting tomorrow, check back here for live updates.

I plan to leave a few voice messages through an 800 number freely provided by Gabcast. The service will automatically convert and store that audio as an mp3 file, then post an entry here with a link to it. Neat, eh? I can even conference call!

When I can, I’ll also be texting my Twitter account. So check there, too, if you want to know what I’m up to.

So it Goes

It’s been far, far too long since last I posted. I’ve been pretty busy. I still am, but I’d rather write something than nothing at all in the face of a full update (forthcoming).

Kurt Vonnegut died and I am sad. Here is my entry from last fall which will serve for now as my memorial. Vonnegut meant a lot of things to a lot of people; the NYT’s piece put it well. I linked to it and a nice slideshow on my del.icio.us.

I got a job and have been spending a lot of time trying to get as acquainted as possible there. I’ve also launched a TSJ sister-site as a spot for all the feed widgets I’d like to share but don’t have room for using this layout. Check it out.

I also bought two hosted domains. One for a portfolio site and the other as a testing ground for an idea I have for a social network. Accordingly, I’ve been whiteboarding with myself and researching to get down and dirty with PHP and Flash.

Ciao for now. Hopefully this will unclog me and you’ll see much more frequent updates here.

War Links — Alive in Baghdad; Lt. Ehren K. Watada

Maybe it’s the physical proximity, but too often I feel detached from the chaos and the bloodshed in Iraq, when really U.S. involvement was and is funded entirely by my and your tax dollars. To wake up, and to hopefully gain a more honest perspective about what is happening, I feel obligated to find more sources in order to better understand what is really going on.

Below is a site that for me has brought such a fresh perspective: first-hand accounts from Iraqi citizens. In the spirit of learning, please feel free to comment and share other sources you’ve found that might deserve more attention.
