Cross-Posting FTL
http://jezlyn.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 02/ cross-posting-ftl/Just a quick blurb here: when are people going to realize that it is useless to cross-post stuff among Twitter/Jaiku/Pownce/et. al., if they’re not actually going to follow up at each service? It’s immensely annoying to see a post from someone on Jaiku or Pownce and know that if you were to comment on it, they would never even see it.

You heard it here first
http://missneworleans.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ you-heard-it-here-first.htmlI have heard from a couple of very reliable sources that the concert at Ford Amphitheater out at Ford Park with ZZ Top and Montgomery Gentry scheduled for this weekend has been canceled, but that they (Ford Park? the promoters?) weren't advising the public, yet. If you call Ford Park, you will be told that it's just a rumor.

Over Belled
http://forbidden-planet.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ over-belled.htmlSeeing as I had nothing better to do last night, I calculated the taxes on my phone bill. There are two taxes: a 5% Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and (in Ontario) 8% provincial sales tax (PST). My bill was $50.07 before taxes. My GST should have been $2.50 and my PST should have been $4.01.

Me vs. the Clock
http://ianliew.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ me-vs-clock.htmlIt has always been a struggle with time. Time is what gives me stress these days. I admit that punctuality is nowhere near being listed as one of my fortes. Some of you might even disagree with defining being on time as something someone is good at, or not.

I just wanted some fried chicken and spring rolls
http://missneworleans.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ i-just-wanted-some-fried-chicken-a…Ask anybody in my family and they'll tell you that I'm usually the person who orders the one thing on the menu that the restaurant just ran out of. Last night my sister and I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken to get a bucket to feed everybody while we helped her move into her new house.

We take a break from Stingaree posts to nominate an "Asshole of the Year"
http://missneworleans.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ we-take-break-from-stingaree-posts…Even though we haven't even spoken about Liz and Lincoln, Wrecks Bell, Hayes Carll singing "Katie," Eliza Gilkyson, the Stone Coyotes, The Magpies, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Lucas Hubbard or me "accidentally" ending up backstage, I have to take a short break from my Stingaree posts to nominate an Asshole of the Year.

Self Revelations
http://ianliew.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ self-revelations.htmlI've always embraced the concept of how we tend to over-react whenever we find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation which we had never encountered before. And usually in hindsight we realise so and beat ourselves up for not dealing with our problems in a calmer, more subtle manner.

I Need Out
http://ianliew.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ i-need-out.htmlCan't say I've been actively blogging as of recent, can I? Heh. For somewhat an imminent reason I had decided to devote more time of the day to something other than the internet to keep my online-addiction at bay. And see what have I achieved now? A very mundane page which had seen better days with more intellectual contents.

Wow. Bite me, NBC.
http://jezlyn.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 04/ 17/ wow-bite-me-nbc/Just saw an article on Ars Technica that says NBC wants Apple to tighten up their DRM on iTunes so that they can control whether or not their shows can be transferred to iPods/iPhones. And they want to be able to charge more per episode. The NBC executives on board with this kind of thinking are all IDIOTS.
