Apparently Hands on a Hard Body has been legally posted, in its entirety, to Google Video. (Wikipedia) You should really find a couple hours and watch it. On the surface the movie looks completely uninteresting- I was pretty much kicking and screaming when I was dragged into watching it. But it is the most compelling [...]

hands on a hard body online!
26-Aug-08I’ve finally installed the WP-openid plugin. Please email me if there are any problems with it; one hopes it works well at this point.
WP-openid is nominally affiliated with diso. I’m curious to see where else diso goes from here- lots of interesting ideas there, and apparently now some corporate sponsorship, but not a whole lot [...]
Disclaimer: at some point my email address got added to a list of ‘people to email if you want to pimp your law-related product.’ Most of the solicitations I get that way I ignore, but every once in a while something looks interesting.

So- is there a one-click backup/restore tool for single-user machines, along the lines of the backup/restore experience in Time Machine. The Ubuntu folks were working on something along these lines but AFAIK there is no actual code [...]

09-Aug-08If you’re ever in Istanbul, make it a point of getting dinner near the time of the last prayer call at the Golden Horn Hotel Sultanahmet. Bring your camera.

I’m back in New York, still taking stock of the (generally pretty awesome) summer. Two weeks until start of classes; family travel [...]
enjoying having Krissa around again
02-Aug-08Besides all the obvious reasons that I’m pleased to have Krissa around, it is always a real joy to hit a farmer’s market with her. We are well stocked for tomorrow. :)
The San Francisco farmer’s market is a very different beast from the ones in New York- we don’t get citrus and rice (among many [...]
