Mercury Completed
I’m still playing my PSP and trying to stick to one game at a time. It took me a few months, but I’ve finally completed Mercury, a surprisingly addictive puzzle game. I probably tried the last few levels 50 times before I finally finished them. I don’t see myself playing this cache for old times’ …
How to know when your music tastes are old
On Wednesday night, Anne and I went to a concert. There I felt like our musical tastes were getting old. Here were the signs: – It wasn’t at a club downtown, but an estate in the hills. – They only served wine, not beer. – The event was sponsored by Lexus, not Red Bull. – …

Using your Treo 650 to dial extensions
One poorly-documented feature of the Treo 650 is setting it up to dial extensions after the main number. I use this to dial into a conference call which requires a 10 digit passcode I never want to have to remember. You can also use it to quickly send a page a to numeric pagers. Trying …
A Complete Game
Yesterday I pitched my first ever complete game at Yahoo. Not that this has anything to do with baseball – I just completed 9 straight back-to-back meetings. This must mean I’ve finally “made it” as a manager. From 8:30 am to 4:30 pm I shuffled from conference room to conference room. Here’s a few simple …

Saturday: Huge “family-sized” Grilled Chicken and Bacon Stuffed Pizza from Papa Murphy’s. Sunday: DiGiornio at Todd‘s and Chris’s Monday: Todd orders pizza for a lunch …

The Second Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
Yesterday, PocketTunes 3.1 was released, adding support for Windows DRM. The net of this is that I now have a device that can play unlimited downloaded tracks from Yahoo! Music Unlimited – my Treo 650! Some pros and cons over my iPod: Con: Tranfers through USB are slow. I need to see if I can …

The Worst Song You Love
I’m hanging out with Chris and Todd and we’re discussing the worst songs we love. Of course you can’t tell which one is your worst song, someone else has to tell you it’s bad. Todd: Color Me Badd – All 4 Love Chris: Phish – Bouncing Around the Room Me: Cher – Believe Hey at …
Coordinate Maps
Until recently, good interactive maps were something you could only get from desktop software like Streets and Trips or MapSource. When Google Maps came out, it was quickly hacked for use on other websites. I didn’t think this would last, but when I did, I started playing with it myself. And then even more surprisingly, …
