Monkinetic Weblog

The "MWSF Weblog" has become the home page of the new MWSF section of "Redmonk.Net". Also, there's a new template for the MWSF Weblog.

The soundtrack from the movie Unbreakable is the sound of my life at this particular moment. It is filled with swelling, soaring Tim-Burton-esque strings fractured by nearly inaudible piano wanderings. String along again into thundering trip-hoppy walk-along beats. Flow.

If you're going to MacWorld Expo SF, post a response here and perhaps we can set up a time to meet and greet. "Conversant" admins/users especially, though anyone's welcome!

In a Sotheby's online auction, this pastel-colored Apple logo is going for $10,000. Hmmmm, I can scrounge up $11k... sure I can!

OK, now I'm blushing. A few weeks back I wrote a little tool for Radio Userland that takes a directory outline and outputs it in the format used by the Open Directory Project. Today I found DMOZDirectory linked from Radio Userland's directory, in the Community Tools section. Thanks guys!
