Ann Coulter's Beauty Secret

I thought of Elkit the moment I saw this, Ann Coulter's Beauty Secret. It is the kind of thing she would post.

Music Theory

Elkit sent me a link to Pandora. It is a music streaming site. You can put in a song or artist and it will give you a "radio station" that matches. They look at the aspects of the song and try to give you other songs you might like.

Here is what they said about the Mountain Goats: (you might have a better time just clicking on the flickr link)

The problem is that is not what I like about the Mountain Goats. I like the raw production and the sharp lyrics. I like that the singer from the Mountain Goats sounds like he is singing because he has to not because he wants to. I am not sure I can find new music from just looking at the structure of the song.

Is anyone else using Pandora?

Sunday Write-in: Mac Users

Sunday Write-in: Mac Users
Originally uploaded by earthdog.

For a while we were a table of just Mac Users. I have said that I know a lot of Mac Users here. Being the Bay Area distorts my mental map. If I went with my friends, I would think half of all home computers were Macs. My guess is that many of my mental maps are distorted by living here.

I told the people in this picture that I would get a lot of views on flickr because it was people sitting with macs in this pictures. That tuned out to be true. After only four days it has over 100 views.

Most of my pictures have between 5-25 views after three days. I will admit that views are the currency of Flickr to me. I want my photos to get as many views as they can. I always want more views for my photos. I am not sure who pictures with Macs are so popular. I guess the cult of mac is really that popular. I should keep on taking these photos so I get more views.

Blogger Meetup

Smile
Originally uploaded by earthdog.

We had our first South Bay/Silicon Valley Blogger meetup of the year on Tuesday. What sticks out in my mind the most is that Elke announced that she turned off her RSS feed. I admire her for that. Some people gave her a hard time because they only read the blogs that show up in their RSS Reader. She wants people to come to her website. If the medium is the message, the message changes when it goes thought an RSS reader.
