Remain­dered links are stuff that I thought was inter­est­ing, but not post-wor­thy. Yes I stole it from Kot­tke, just like every­one else.

Mommys Representing in NY

I real­ly enjoyed this bit from the cov­er­age of yes­ter­day’s NY City Marathon, where Brit Paula Rad­cliffe won the wom­en’s race: …there was some­thing sem­i­nal about the way Gary Lough emerged from the crowd at the fin­ish line at the New York Marathon yes­ter­day in order to hand his 10-month-old daugh­ter, Isla, to her moth­er, Paula… Con­tin­ue read­ing Mom­mys Rep­re­sent­ing in NY

Where’s My gPhone?

Google, along with a num­ber of mobile hard­ware man­u­fac­tur­ers, announced the Android mobile OS today. What became painful­ly obvi­ous, though, from read­ing Engad­get’s live-blog­ging of the con­fer­ence call is that the press mem­bers that were allowed to ask ques­tions have no idea what any of this means. Repeat­ed ques­tions of ‘so when is Google going… Con­tin­ue read­ing Where’s My gPhone?

Al Gore and IPCC Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

Well, despite you’ve already read this already some­where else, Al Gore and the U.N.

Here’s a Yahoo! News arti­cle (via Life­hack­er) about the increase in infants with their own domain names, many of whom won’t be used for any­thing oth­er than a parked page for years. Per one par­ent “One of the cri­te­ria was, if we liked the name, the domain had to be avail­able.” I can’t say that… Con­tin­ue read­ing Baby Got Domain

TiVo Is Still Ahead on IPTV

Though few seem to acknowl­edge the strides that TiVo has been mak­ing in IPTV (as opposed to Apple), Engad­get is report­ing that you can now pur­chase Ama­zon Unbox con­tent straight from your TiVo. They call it Buy on TV (direct, if not entire­ly cre­ative). I doubt that it is a ‘cable tele­vi­sion replace­ment’ just yet,… Con­tin­ue read­ing TiVo Is Still Ahead on IPTV

Rockin Out to Son Volt Again

My co-work­er Ron­nie has a friend who has a friend who made a very nice record­ing of the Son Volt con­cert I attend­ed a few weeks ago. I have to say, there’s some­thing cool about lis­ten­ing to a live record­ing know­ing you’re one of the peo­ple shout­ing in the audi­ence on it.
