This youtube video was spotted on the D&D Austin update blog. From the D&D Blog “Eighty-eight year old Austin resident Gladys Hardy was on the phone with Ellen DeGeneres earlier this week. It was hilarious! Loved her commentary on the winter storm. Guess it shows that in Austin you can keep it weird at any age.”
Austin Chronicle Music Poll 2006-2007 opens today “After 26 years, you know the drill,” says the Chronicle. “This is your chance to duct-tape the critics’ mouths shut and speak up about Austin music. Not sure who to vote for? Turn on the radio, drop into the local record store, or head to the clubs tonight. Your favorite band is probably playing.” And give some consideration to our Austin favorite singer/songwriter Amy Cook.

You’ve had a great coffee drink at Jo’s coffee before. We all have right? But have you ever been there when it was raining outside? I mean when it was actually raining - not just a rainy day. The reason for asking is because of what happens to the coffee beans during rain.
Jo's Coffee South Austin Texas "By this I mean that its energies have been compressed into an incredibly dense morsel that contains all of the trappings that a larger shop would, but they occupy little to no space, which in turn causes the space next to the building to assume that function or sensibility, to be drawn into it. Jo’s does not send out rays of itself, it consumes space by claiming it with visual energy."

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8 — When Seth J. Sternberg and two colleagues started Meebo, a Web-based instant-messaging service, they didn’t go looking for venture capitalists. Using their credit cards, they financed the company themselves to the tune of $2,000 apiece. It was enough to cover their biggest expense — leasing a few computer servers at $120 a month each. Within a month of its introduction in September 2005, Meebo was getting as many as 50,000 log-ins a day, and it needed more servers. It decided to take a modest $100,000 from three angel investors, wealthy individuals who typically contribute small amounts but do not get involved in management decisions.

Recording ISO files After you install ISO Recorder, no program group is created and there is no application to run. ISO Recorder is a Shell extension, which means it provides additional options in a file right-click menu. To create a CD with ISO Recorder right-click on a file with .iso extension and select "Copy Image to CD" (refered by msfts own website)... it worked first try!

To get the size of all directories in the current directory: find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | xargs du -sk | sort -rn A spiffy way to see what directories are taking up the most space on your hard drive is du -sk * | sort -n -- this will show just the base-level directories in whatever directory you run this in. So it will include the size of sub-directories, but not list them in the output.

If you know more about this particular picture (forwarded to me by Alexander Rose) please email me.

Cool tools really work. A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. I am chiefly interested in stuff that is extraordinary, better than similar products, little-known, and reliably useful for an individual or small group. I depend on friends and readers to suggest things they actually use.
