For sale on eBay: UN Security Council Vote On Gulf War Redux I wonder if the Chilean government will petition eBay to pull this from the site. 🙂
Targeted advertisements using time-dependent key search terms
Whoo-hoo! I’m an inventor (almost). United States Patent Application 20030050863, “Targeted advertisements using time-dependent key search terms“, was just published today. As my cousin Rich points out, the patent hasn’t actually been granted yet. The publication of the patent is important nonetheless, because it establishes prior art.
mvhs93.com
I registered the domain name mvhs93.com today for my 10-year high school reunion. I’m not a web design expert, so we’ve hired classmate German Fabella‘s design firm Launchpad Studio to make it look prettier than my lame save the date web page.
Olympus Camedia C-50 Zoom Digital Camera
About the same size as the Canon Elph S230, the Olympus C-50 packs a whopping 5.0 megapixels into an 8-oz size. That’s smaller than the Canon S45 and it seems a little easier to use. We got it for $510 + shipping at 17th Street Photo.

Rosh Chodesh Adar II
Today is Rosh Chodesh Adar II, the beginning of the happiest month of the Jewish year. משנכנס אדר מרבים בשמחה Mishe-nichnas Adar, marbim b’simcha When Adar enters, our joy increases (Ta’anit 29a). Purim falls on March 17th this year. That’s right, same as St. Patrick’s day. I’m looking forward to some cross-cultural drunken debauchery. The […]
PHP5 on Cygwin ain’t working for me
I’m trying to get PHP 5.0.0-dev to work under Cygwin. It hasn’t been much fun so far. I’m working with George on a non-Yahoo! project, so I’ve gotta get PHP installed on a computer that I can use at home. So I figured I’d just build it our Windows 2000 laptop under Cygwin. Should be […]
