Remi Frazier has left Colorado with $100, and travelled to New York, where he intends to make $1,000,000 in 30 days. He's maintaining a daily video diary on youtube . He's understandably vague about his "business...

Here I am fresh back from the second meeting of the Albury/Wodonga Dot Net User Group! As I described in my previous post , this month's meeting was focused on content-management systems on which we will be running our web site (awdnug.org, coming soon). In attendance were (if I recall correctly...

Long Weekend Movie Round-Up

A quick summary of our movie-going activities this weekend: The Omen : Quite good. Better than I thought it'd be. Having not seen the original, I wasn't comparing it as some movie-reviewers have, so maybe that helped. Man, that little kid was freaky. Good to see David Thewlis in a big (well,...

Detail Level in Objects Returned by a Service

On the drive home tonight I listened to this episode of Ron Jacobs' ARCast . In it, he talked with Denny Boynton about SOA, and some of the best- and worst-practices ("patterns and anti-patterns") associated with creating services. One of the topics that came up is something I've thought a...

80s Rock

For some reason my old copy of Kingdom Come 's " In Your Face " was in my car, so I listened to it on the drive home tonight. It's amazing how much of today's "garage rock" music (Jet, The Vines etc) harks back to this old 80s guitar-driven sound. I guess they both have...
