David Byrne is going to be at the Fillmore on May 31st. this ain't no disco. Though I'm not sure I'll be here just then. damn.

In no particular order (and for no particular reason), here are some movies I've rented recently that I would recommend:

• Holy Smoke
• The Dreamlife of Angels
• Insomnia
• The Grand Illusion
• The Celluloid Closet
• Genghis Blues
• Cool Hand Luke

I'm surprised this picture didn't make it into the tabloids. ;)

Sydney Morning Herald: "If people knew there wouldn't be a power shortage if all the wind farms could work at capacity, then something might just happen to get the lines built to carry our power," Michael Burns says. [via rebecca]

AskTog: "Unless people are protected from purposeful and involuntary downgrades in the usability of already-purchased products, we will see a deterioration of consumer rights unimagined before." [via hack the planet]

jason also posted a few pictures from the hike.

went on a great hike yesterday with some friends. The Pomo Canyon Trail that leads to Shell Beach was just beautiful. (Of course I took pictures!) There were many different types of terrain in just a few miles. The 720 ft. elevation change had me gasping for air, so I need to get in much better shape if I want to go backpacking this summer. Lots of fun work to do. Note to self: look into buying two-way radios.
