April 30th, 2007 by mdAn interesting thing has happened. I am trying to put my cognitive behavioral therapy to work in this situation to unwind my automatic thoughts / storytelling software, but let me know what you think…
Historically, I get about 10% of my traffic from China. This is spread between Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing. It’s been rock [...]
1 Comment » April 23rd, 2007 by mdA friend recommended GreenDimes to me the other day. It’s very cool. For about 10-cents per day ($36 per year), they will go out and remove your name and address from thousands of mailing lists that direct marketers purchase to send 75-90% of all the junk mail that you get. And they will plant one [...]
April 13th, 2007 by mdI am torn. While I think what he said was terribly insulting and degrading, I am a pretty radical free speech advocate — even the ugly stuff. Ultimately, as a private owner of the radio stations, CBS gets to decide what kind of programming they put on. I think Imus sucks for so many other [...]
April 2nd, 2007 by mdGoogle Analytics tells me that nearly 10% of the visitors to the site are from Shanghai. Forgive the spelling please — the only Chinese I know is phoenetic. I am so glad to meet you all even if it is only online. Tsieh tsieh for coming!
I had the pleasure of visiting Shanghai last [...]
April 1st, 2007 by mdI went to the Body Art Expo today at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Wow.
Body Art is apparently the umbrella under which you find tattoos, piercings, and body modifications such as (I don’t know what the official names are) boring large holes in your ears, installing spikes under your skin that poke out [...]
March 30th, 2007 by mdFull disclosure, I had to censor some of the content regarding the trip. Here are some of the things I left out in the form of a partial list of posts that didn’t make it:
Three things you don’t do at the Leper Colony on Molokai
What the labels on the toilets said never to flush
A picture [...]
March 29th, 2007 by mdWe got underway this morning pretty early. I think it was around 7AM.
We motored out from the beach – there was almost no wind – and around the bend to the north shore of the island. Captain Brad said that we’d see some amazing cliffs – he wasn’t kidding. Along the way we saw [...]
March 19th, 2007 by mdSo I heard that the Bionic Woman is being remade into a new TV series. I can think of another female hero that needs an update. Yikes. I like the bloomers and the sensible, black shoes.
March 15th, 2007 by mdCheck out this very cool marketplace for independent music downloads — amiestreet.com. Founded by a trio of talented guys who just graduated from Brown, it’s perfect for self-repping artists: dynamically priced songs start at zero and climb in price as the number of downloads increase (cap at 98-cents); liberal (i.e. no) DRM; a large and [...]
March 15th, 2007 by mdRegis had successful triple bypass surgery yesterday. Get well soon Reeg. I think the scariest part of this is where they have to saw through your sternum / ribcage and spread everything open mechanically. Don’t you break all the ribs that way? Ouch. Has anyone experienced this first hand or knows anyone who has?
