“In a famous anecdote, a heavyset man, his head and eyebrows completely shaved, wandered into the studio while the band was mixing “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”. The band could not recognise him for some time, when suddenly one of them realised it was Syd Barrett. On being asked how he had put on so much weight, he retorted “I’ve got a big fridge in the kitchen and I’ve been eating a lot of pork chops”.[37]”

Anti-Terrorism Exercises in China - The Big Picture - Boston.com

Discoved this from Scott Beale (who’s got a ton of info on this blog), to quote him…

“Last month Boston Globe’s Boston.com launched The Big Picture, a fantastic new blog featuring galleries of large, high quality photos related to a specific news story.”

Just amazing.

One of the freakin’ funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. But than again, I’m a big geek.

“…at some point they need to stand up and express outrage over what most of us already know: that the bulk of the Transportation Security Administration’s checkpoint screening measures are pointless and absurd. They do not make people safer; they make people angry, all the while wasting billions of dollars and immeasurable amounts of our time.”

Kevin Angus Sinex

It is with great sadness that I’ve just learned of the passing of our dear friend, colleague and partner Angus Sinex. We’ve little details at this point beyond that there was an accident during the load out of a wrestling show. As soon as I have information about a service or other plans, I will send out another email.

Words are beyond inadequate to express this loss.

Angus was a dedicated father and husband; it was impossible to work with him without realizing how much he cared about his family. He was a world class electrician and a friend to be treasured.

During time of immeasurable loss, of course our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I know we will all pull together to help them in any way we can. Although Angus would undoubtedly tell us to just get back to work, we also need to console each other now in honor of the caring, charisma and compassion he shared with us through his life.

Rest in peace my friend.

Cult of Mac has a timeline of a the SteveNote’s “One More Thing” moment. With video. It’s great to note that he can be as excited about launching the G4 cube as the Macbook Pro.

Sushi Hachi Japanese Resturant, Richmond, BC

I had a great meal tonight in this off-the-beaten path resturant not far from the Vancouver airport. Really good value, amazing food. I think it’s a two person operation, so things can get a little nuts, but all and all it was an amazing meal.

Love Detective by Arab Strap

This is a great song; the video is shot by the singer in the band, I suspect — it’s a bit creepy (like the song). If I said “listen to the lyrics” would that be like saying “read the articles”?

The Original iPod Commercial

You know, it’s pathetic. I was thinking “I wonder if I’d still think that original ipod commercial would seems as rocking today as it did in 2001.” So I got on the you tube, and here it is. I would suggest that it still rocks.

Yamashiro Restaurant

I had a great meal here — great view, good friends, good times. OK, that sounds like a light beer commerical. Now I’m listening to comedic podcasts, which should be an oximoron. TMI.

But should you find yourself stuck in downtown LA, it’s important to hop in the rental car and go to Hollywood, as it is not far, and it has this great place to eat.
