A new controversey is erupting online over paying bloggers to shill for Microsoft in banner ads. As Valleywag wrote:
‘But there are limits to journalistic endorsements, and Federated Media just crossed them.
John Battelle’s ad network has roped in some of its star writers to an ad campaign on behalf of Microsoft’s “people-ready” catchphrase. In the […]

Driving around Yellowstone National Park, we had already gotten in a lot that day, winding around the Grand Loop and visiting Canyon Lodge. Pelican Creek sounded like a good place to visit as we neared our return to the Lake Yellowstone/bear country area in the southeast of the park–and as it turned out it […]

This picture comes from Jessica. She captured this amazing Mom and baby ducklings shot at Disneyland last weekend.

Just got home from picking her up at the airport, and stopping along the way at King of Thai.

@JaggyCat That’s so cool that you get to see the amazing and numerous pelicans of Long Beach!!

@JaggyCat Can’t wait to see you in that new dress you just got!

Downloading a free remix of that trance classic “The Sound of Goodbye” from last.fm: I guess the crazy “backwards bits” are the new twist.

Checking out a widget-ready three column theme–it’s cool and a lot better than the old 2-column basic I’ve been using for my diary page.

Just watched a pigeon party–four of them hanging out under the Cat’s car and eatin’ and peckin’ and going to town. Then they flew away.

Coffee, from Peets, then watching Simpsons season 8.

@JaggyCat Thinking about my beautiful love-cat!

Why does the del.icio.us hotlist feed have mouse-over preview info on Netvibes but not on Pageflakes?

Just talked to Jessica at Disneyland.

I’m wondering how much the iLike Facebook app integrates with iLike accounts–they kind of seem to me to run in parallel.

Listening to Armin van Buuren and browsing the iLike sidebar on my iTunes

@JaggyCat Thinking about Jessica’s trip to Disneyland today. Cool!

@JaggyCat Thanks for the quick call have a good fathers day weekend with your Dad!

Listening to a CLASSIC TRACK by DJ Tiesto: as Dennis Ruyer said, “the biggest dj the Netherlands has ever known!”

Calling J to make sure she gets going on time on her trip!

@JaggyCat your Pollack-style background is very clever! Very good for the page’s style!

@JaggyCat that sounds good!!

I added Jessica to my Twitter friends!

I have orange juice and Diet Coke Plus and coffee and I don’t know what order to drink them in.

I just installed Songbird 0.2.5–it’s pretty well improved, I like it a lot for now at least–will try on iPod http://www.songbirdnest.com/

Moving my Yahoo Photos over–I had a handful up there to try the service–I noticed they didn’t allow Photobucket either as a place to trans

I’m wondering whether to put an old Red Hat setup or a new Ubuntu setup on my old laptop–something instead of Windows XP for the long term-

Watching Henry Waxman’s committee from today: http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?p=481

Thinking about how we still have some Chinese broccoli left. Very good, well seasoned stuff.

I’m going to stop by the local Peet’s–I’ve been using French press more again but today I think I want to see what they’re power-brewing up

The new updates on my list is a very slow-moving list lately..
Going to pick up Jessica in a little while.

The “Yellowstone and Grand Tetons Adventure” album is up now on Webshots, with many great photos including these three: the Grand Teton, a herd of buffalo, and me and Jessica in front of some blue Montana mountains.

Now listening to Mark Knight and ATFC: “Din daa daa”–It’s on Roger Sanchez’s podcast #20–yo.

Listening to Michael Gray featuring Steve Edwards - “Somewhere beyond” with Jessica

I don’t know if Lebron James and Cleveland can come back from 2-0.

Drinking Peet’s espresso. It’s kind of mild compared to their coffee–it has a mealy kind of taste, but it’s very good.

..now for the main blog. Is it ready for primetime? We’ll see as to whether it updates my Twitter page.

This is one of my absolute favorite photos from Yellowstone. He’ll cross the road when it suits him!

Yellowstone allows face-to-face contact with beautiful wildlife, as this picture demonstrates.

Jessica and I took an amazing vacation, driving all the way from San Francisco to Yellowstone National Park and back. Along the way we met up with my family, and on the way back we went through Grand Teton National Park as well. We’ll be posting some of the pictures of those […]
