The area I live in is described as a "nuclear free zone" on the sign that you see on the way into town. I wish the world was a nuclear free zone. Looks like that's not going to happen any time soon.

I'm back in California. I left my house at 6:45, arrived at work at 9:30. The traffic flow rarely topped out at around 30 mph. I scoured 2 lots and made stunt turns before finding a place to park. and this was a good day.

As ev and meg may have told you, there's a new version of pyra.com up and running. It's definately more us.

I had a dream this afternoon that I had founded a new school of zen based on XML.

Greetings from Nebraska!

The silver screen wizardry of Hal Needham reached its dizzying zenith with Cannonball Run. But we can't forget his earlier cb lingo ridden Smokey and the Bandit. (and who would want to?) Search through this deconstruction of Burt Reynolds to find references to Needham's genious. over.

cb guy: 10-4, 99. Lincoln Town bound.

media consumer: say, what's all this "y-2-k" hullabaloo about?

The following quotes are from articles I read today:

"The so-called Y2K problem exists because many older computers and software programs recognize only the last two digits of the year and could mistakenly interpret "00'' as 1900."

"The Y2K bug could cause older computers, which may read only the last two digits of a year, to mistake 2000 for 1900, leading to errors or malfunctions over the turn of the year."

"The year 2000, or Y2K, problem occurs because some computer programs, especially older ones written to recognize only the last two digits of a year, might fail when the date changes from 1999 to 2000."

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WE KNOW!! STOP TELLING US IN *EVERY* STORY RELATED TO Y2K!!! geez.

Gomez was at the Fillmore last night. solid. Too bad I missed them.

Ozomatli has a new all flash site that's not nearly as cool as their old colorful, fun HTML site. It also makes it hard to link directly to anything on their site; like tour information.

Complaining aside, these guys rock the house and they're going to be at the Fillmore in SF on October 29th.
