"At some level, though, failure avoidance is a horrible way to learn (not to mention a horrible way to live). It rewards the wrong traits, and inhibits some pretty important ones." this is my basic psychological issue. also: "It took a couple of years to get past both the thrill of unaccustomed respect and the nagging sense of being an impostor." I'm still working on this. :\

pretty obscure in some ways, and yet fascinating.

I'm going to need this at some point.

"Hulu just announced that they will be blocking Boxee users from accessing Hulu content via Boxee." well, that's a bummer. I've been thinking about setting up Boxee, partially to get Hulu content.(tags: misc_tech)

creepy. (a) "a buddy posted a link to photos […] on his Facebook page and flatly refused to distribute them any other way" (b) "His ultimate goal is less poetic – and perhaps more ambitious: to turn Facebook into the planet's standardized communication (and marketing) platform, as ubiquitous and intuitive as the telephone but far more interactive, multidimensional – and indispensable." (c) "Imagine if an advertiser had the ability to eavesdrop on every phone conversation you've ever had." here's to hoping it goes the way of AOL.

think I'm going to do this, although probly mostly with older bike photos.

"I just realized that just because in every previous year I’ve run an excited photo of the spring’s first crocuses, that’s not a reason not to run an excited photo of this spring’s first crocus." extra-pretty this year, love the focus/lack-of-focus.(tags: garden photography)

"My cat, Simba, agrees instead of me. As he is not a legal entity, I don't really know how kitty's agreements would stand up in court, but I like to think he would be responsible for any breaches of contract, assuming the agreement is even enforceable." Teh hawesome.

Good grief. The whole process seems fundamentally broken to me. (9th year grad student? If I'd gone directly from UPS to that, I'd've been finishing up in 2005. In 2005, I was starting my 5th year as web manager at Pierce, and we'd owned our house for 3 years.)

ok, somebody help me remember this. (Dylan, I'm (probably) looking at you.)

looks interesting. hearty food is a good thing right about now.

which out-there web stuff works with which browsers (past, present, future). potentially very useful!

"The license which you, as a Facebook user, grant to Facebook is very broad and it covers not just your content on Facebook but content you may have linked to from outside Facebook. What the terms don't do is grant ownership but the license is so broad Facebook may as well own your content." that's the bit that makes me go O.o about all this. y'all reading this via FB, I may not be posting my blog posts, etc. that way. (so come visit my site!)

"fleur de sel" srsly? I imagine some just plain ol' salt will do the trick. other than the fancy-pants ingredients, looks pretty straightforward.

really solid description of the corporate credit unions issue. not really looking forward to having to put this in the newsletter, it just feels convoluted. (Morris Partee of Everything CU doesn't seem to think it is, but it feels that way to this non-finance person.)(tags: creditunion finance)

"Why is no one voicing the point that we should be distancing ourselves as far as possible from the TARP bailout money because it would be the WRONG THING TO DO ON PRINCIPLE?"

Yes, that. I'd say more, but I'm feeling kinda meh physically/mentally right now.

down in the comments: "If anyone else is desperate I just tried Feed api + CSV Parser + Feed Element Mapper and it worked!" sounds kinda crazy, but that may be what I end up doing. easier than raw SQL?(tags: drupal drupal-migration)

this actually has nothing to do with my migration project, but might be useful for something else entirely.(tags: drupal)

alas, I need it with CCK support. (I don't really NEED to do a bulk import, but it would make things much easier.)(tags: drupal drupal-migration)

ok, so it's super-experimental, but it does EXACTLY what I need to make the rates thing work. so much so that it kinda blows my mind.(tags: drupal)

for some reason, this story reminds me of coming back to school after spring break my freshman year of college, when I was protected (from icky guy) by a gulf war vet & a vietnam vet and told war (and drug!) stories all through the night. a strange journey to say the least, after a strange spring break. (which is another story entirely.)(tags: politics)

that honeywell looks nice. we have a variant of the delonghi oil filled in the bathroom, and it was alarmingly noisy the first time we used it, but otherwise helps keep the bathroom a little warmer thru the winter.(tags: home)
