Monkinetic Weblog

According to Omni guru Ken Case and Omni's road map, Mac OS X browser Omniweb 4.1 will use the SpiderMonkey C-based JavaScript engine - the same one used in the Mozilla browser. Cooool!

Hmm. Robert Scoble is touting HTTP Business Services. "His company is being kept afloat by building HTTP Business Services inside corporate firewalls. Makes sense, actually. Businesses have the money to spend on improving their processes and information systems."

Listen to Nickelback covering Soul Coughing's Super Bon Bon while reading RageBoy.

Nickelback - This Is How You Remind Me, and Ben Folds Five - Rockin' The Suburbs. Favorite line from Rockin' The Suburbs: "some producer with computers fixes all my s**tty tracks". Geeks shall rule the earth...

Not sure if this can really be considered "Life Outside the Web", but I'm forming a reading list. Current titles:

Hans has been busy lately, especially after updating his PHP-based weblog software. In his words: "you sure do post a lot to your weblog when it's easy..." You bet, mano. ;-)

Read about it here. But just try and buy one.

Great post on some mailing list: In Defense Of Flame Wars. The author makes some really good points about the nature of public debate and communication in a textual, non-real-time medium. There are some web boards I've frequented that could benefit from some of this.

Excite@Home is facing a serious crisis, and may be @History. Watch those broadband use numbers tumble...

Ugh. Last night I was eating an Oreo and lost a crown. So I sit her gap-toothed this morning waiting to go to the dentist. This is a really good way to ruin a perfectly good Friday. Ugh.

Our local stations carry MTV2 on a high UHF channel. So I was, luckily enough, able to catch a re-broadcast of MTV's recent Unplugged with R.E.M. It was, as usual, a treat - although Michael Stipe seemed bored for the first few songs. Highlights:

Cuyahoga: Awesome, beutiful song from Life's Rich Pageant, 1986. It's haunting live, and Michael finally began spending emotional energy while singing it.

Country Feedback: Slow, powerful. From Out Of Time, (1990 I think). Michael has thrown himself into this song everytime I've heard him perform it - "I... need this..."

When MTV put up the Losing My Religion video on the screen behind the band, and Michael saw himself: "Who is this guy? Get him off there.... God, he's so sincere!"

I've bookmarked stating the obvious. I like it. It's simple, it's clever, it has really good linkage.

In the spirit of Douglas Coupland's classic Microserfs, I now offer my 7 Dream Jeopardy Categories:

Jim and I and another guy started Tales Of Wo a while back, but I've let it languish. Well, I've begun working my way back into WebObjects, and with this new found energy comes new desire to share it with whomever may care to read it. So, if you're learning WebObjects, want to, or just want to witness me floundering from time to time, hop on over to Tales Of WO.
