6. April, 2003 - well, that’s over, sorta
- Yesterday was the funeral for my mom’s
special friend
(as it was expressed at the service). But I fear that’s only the beginning, as Mom’s unused to living alone, and I’m not sure how she’s going to handle it. I’m gonna hafta keep an eye on things for a while, I suspect.
- Joel Spolsky wrote about Finding an Office in New York City. It’s a pretty good tutorial on shopping for office space anywhere, I think.
- Tobacco companies sue California, saying ads "vilify" industry and have caused the awards in lawsuits to be larger than they should have been. [fark!]
- In DaveNet : The paper-of-record, Dave Winer talks about the implications of the New York Times making their archive pay-only. I’ve been through this with a number of newspapers I link to, almost all of which end up making articles unavailable after time, and it’s plenty annoying. One of the things (pretty far down) on my to-do list is to wash through every link on Dave’s Picks and flag it as good or bad, but I don’t think there’s a good automated way to do it, since you’re so often redirected to a
you could read that if you paid
page, rather than getting a real 404. [scripting]
- VirtualFund chairman to avoid angry shareholders. Man. The mess that the former LaserMaster has become… [some guy]
- When Spring comes the thoughts of the young turn to Critical Mass. The April '03 Minneapolis ride will take place on the anniversary of what was, I believe, the largest attended mass locally. Tentatively, the route this month will be a
STRIDE Mill Ride
–From Loring Park -meet at 5PM Friday, April 25th–to Lake and 35W where STRIDE is fighting the 35W Excess Project
then over to St. Paul to Ayd Mill Road where neighbors are fighting the use of their street to connect I94 to 35E. [Jim]
- The Better World Club provides roadside assistance for cyclists. Yep! It’s like AAA for your bike. [Jim]
