21. April, 2003 - Another Dreary Monday
- It’s been three weekends in a row now that I’ve had something scheduled for my weekend, and I’ve been feeling it on Mondays. Two weekends ago was a funeral. Last weekend was getting sunburned in St. Paul. This weekend was Easter and dinner with mom, plus a ton of website work that I had to do (and haven’t completed). Next weekend is a wedding. Busy weekends make mondays more difficult, and this morning is no different. It doesn’t help at all that the skies are gray and cloudy (though the clouds are supposed to break up today). I’ve got my trike pretty much ready to go for the spring, but haven’t gotten on a ride yet, and there’s baseball season coming and and and. I managed to find a bunch of links for today, but I’m starting to think that maybe the way to make some time to catch up is going to be taking a few days off from Dave’s Picks. Or maybe some of my readers can step up by suggesting more links. That would help.
- Why TiVo Owners Can’t Shut Up about their toys. It’s true, all of it, both the good and bad. And it's timely because today’s the start of TV Turnoff Week. Would it count if I left the TV off, but let my TiVo capture things this week? [metafilter]
- Today show goes black on Tim Robbins is an interesting piece on Indymedia. Apparently Robbins was being interviewed about his opinions on the free speech and the war and–mid sentence–his mic was turned off and NBC went to black. [Jim]
- I have’nt been able to confirm that, but you’re welcome to look through the Google Search: tim robbins today show to see if you can find anything. All I could determine was that some people think Tim Robbins is Full of Bull Durham!
- US airline pilots get guns finally. In theory, the first armed pilot could have been flying yesterday, but I haven’t heard anything more about it yet.
- Judge: Student Can’t Discuss Tech Flaws in a debit-card system used on over 200 campuses. He was planning to give a talk on the security flaws in the system and has been shut down for now by a temporary restraining order.
- FindLaw Legal News - Denver to Halt ‘Spy Files’ on Peaceful Organizers after a suit by the ACLU. No longer will they be branded “criminal extremists.”
- In Digital ID Exostructure, Doc points out that having a blog may be one way of establishing your identity online. It’s an interesting idea, and since he’s been wrestling with digital identity for a while, he’s got some good thoughts on the subject. [doc]
