Sudo – Write Me a Blog Post
Ha! Thanks for the pointer Dave.
A Recording in Any Medium Still Isn’t Buttermilk Pie
Rex Hammock doesn’t declare downloading music and video is the same as being there, but a PDF of a magazine is akin to a photograph of Buttermilk pie. All recordings are “photographs of buttermilk pie”. A pale, pale substitute for being there. It continues to baffle me how digital artifacts are treated differently – images …

Pinger + Podcast = Common Sense Mobile Podcasting
A while back, I had this idea for mobile podcasting, along the lines of my ‘podcasting as mass voicemail’ mantra. Even picked up a domain name. Thing is, I don’t know enough about how the mobile phone industry works to make it a go. No problem, looks like Pinger.com is on it. If I, as …

Make Yourself at Home – The Internet is a Place
“…the place where any telephone call takes place” – William Gibson This morning’s Citizen’s League conversation reminded me how not everyone considers this website a location.

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 …
No Passengers Equals No Threats?
A terrorist threat is thwarted in London. The reaction here and there – making flying more uncomfortable for everyone else, heighten the ‘threat alert’ to ‘red’ (because something might happen we’re not aware of? – hmmm. I felt more secure). Seems that with the plot foiled, we should be _safer_ in the immediate short term …
