I’ve been given claim code, which apparently has to exist in a post, hence this one

food allergies are no fun
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
I’m allergic to the raw forms of several things: celery, honeydew, watermelon, cucumber, apple, hand melon, plum, banana - and probably more that have slipped my mind.
If they’re cooked, they’re fine. Or if they’re coated in dressing or citric acid (like in a fruit salad with oranges).
Anyways – it does cut into what I can eat [...]
almost drr…

With the new iPod nano from Apple, it looks like someone is starting to implement a digital radio recorder.
It’d be nice if it wasn’t just the “skip” or “pause” protection, but it’s a start.
one month update
Saturday, September 12, 2009
It’s been a month since I last posted on my weight loss attempts.
From a month ago, I’ve dropped 11 lbs. For my metric-bound acquaintances: I have no idea, so look it up
Now I have a good (but somewhat costly) problem – I need new pants
avoiding the voicemail prompts
Thursday, September 10, 2009
I just found this article from David Pogue that indicates how to avoid the voicemail prompts and greetings:
It turns out that each carrier offers a “bypass the instructions” keystroke that takes you directly to the beep. (It bypasses both the person’s own recorded greeting and the 15-second carrier nonsense.)
To be as evil as possible, the [...]
one-way to mars
Monday, September 7, 2009
The NY Times has an interesting op-ed on this topic today.
Maybe we should consider sending people on one-way trips to Mars because if they’re explorers as earth-bound ones were, presuming a return trip may be too expensive – or even undesirable.
We’ve had lots of experience as humans of sending people on one-way trips. Maybe we [...]
wedding plans
Friday, September 4, 2009
Have begun.
I just got a site setup for my fiancee and I to keep our friends and family up-to-date on what’s going on: http://warrenmyers.com/wedding/.
And yes – she picked the blog theme
more help from stackoverflow
Thursday, September 3, 2009
I realize I asked this question a while back, but in reviewing some of my history, I was reminded of how helpful the site has been for a variety of issues.
And I’m sure that questions like this one regarding VMware and VPNs is something “I should have known” – but not knowing where to look [...]
html 5
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
A list apart has a nice write-up of the forthcoming HTML 5 standard.
If you are like most designers, you probably don’t write all your markup by hand. But until the tools you use catch up to the new elements in (X)HTML 5, you will be doing some markup by hand while you learn. There’s been [...]
out/open-sourcing education
Along with the /. post mentioned by Jason, is Bob Cringely’s discussion on outsourcing education.
What is the emphasis on in-person education from specific professors? I’ve been asked for my transcript professionally once – and that’s because my current employer pays more attention to grades than technical aptitude.
I can recall only a small handful of professors [...]
