I love it when people talk about me in other languages. Other character sets is even cooler

Thanks to the Creative Commons license, my old rock band provides the score for the credits in a campus film festival in Washington. Cool!

A few fellow silveroranges and I are taking a tech-mecca trek of sorts to the other side of the continent to Silicon Valley. I’ll be at the Mozilla Developer Day in Mountain View on Friday, February 27.

We’ll be in the San Francisco area until Tuesday evening. If you’re in the area and want to meet up with the Steven from Acts of Volition (me), Dan from CEOBlues, Stephen from NewRecruit, and Daniel from DeltaTangoBravo, let me know.

Email the President of the Internet’s Oval Inbox

My good friend and co-worker, Dan James, has declared himself the President of the Internet. Good for him.

I’ve long been amused by CNN’s wacky mixture of
“human interest stories” and “real news” — neither of which are interesting to humans, or in any way real. They have a real knack for the most inappropriate segues. Yesterday, while at the dentist, I saw them segue from a mass-murder trial to a story about siamese tortoises.

Today’s “Top Stories” from CNN.com don’t disappoint. As my friend Isaac puts it, “somedays i think they just make them up – to see what people would believe”.

You just can’t make stuff like that up.
