Sunday Morning Dot Connection
“Airport security is the last line of defense, and not a very good one at that. Sure, it’ll catch the sloppy and the stupid — and that’s a good enough reason not to do away with it entirely — but it won’t catch a well-planned plot. We can’t keep weapons out of prisons 1; we …
Moved Servers
This means the heavy lifting of moving garrickvanburen.com to a new server, and the firstcrackpodcast to it’s own domain is complete (finally). If anythings not working as expected, please drop me a line. Thanks. Two things I’ve noticed already: The forums haven’t migrated yet, I thought I’d take this opportunity to try and solve the …
How I’m Getting Things Done
After years of using Apple’s Stickies as my standard To Do list organizer, I’m a month into an entirely new productivity system. It’s working out pretty well. With David Allen’s Getting Things Done as a foundation, here are the modifications I’ve made: Next Actions:This is a stack of index cards. One thing per card – …

Seems that with the plot foiled, we should be _safer_ in the immediate short term …
Corn Soda
Good conversation over at Marginal Revolution on how corn subsidies and sugar quotas have contributed to the fattening of America with a secondary debate on the superior soda sweetener.
Free and Open vs Not – At a Glance
Steve Borsch weighs free & open against for-fee and closed. In in he brings up some great points – namely, if the problem you have is solved – good enough – by a hosted, for-pay service, then installing and setting up a “free”, open-source system isn’t worth it. Personally, I’m not keen on SurveyMonkey’s presentation …
Finally – Multiple Speakers in iTunes AirTunes
Spent a few moments over lunch refining my wireless network, while making sure everything worked as expected, I noticed a ‘Multiple Speakers’ option in my iTunes v6.0.5 (20). About Frigging Time! When we first set up the Airport Express, I was baffled why I couldn’t have the same music playing in the room with the …

Agent FeedSeeder Says ‘Hi’
If you see: FeedSeeder/Development (http://workingpathways.com); TEST Furrow in your logs, that’s me. Well, technically, the T-minus project I’ve been talking about. Hi. How are you? Things are good. Thanks. I’m pretty happy with how things are behaving, even at this yet early stage. Just the poking around I did tonight felt very comfortable. I’m looking …
