6.30.2003 Sorry for the long absence -- during the switchover, I failed to realize this account was still registered at a now defunct email address. Resetting the password didn't do a hell of a lot of good, as it got sent to said defunct addy. Now I'm back. Unfortunately, I have now forgotten all the interesting things I wanted to tell you. posted by Christopher Null | 5:15 PM 6.23.2003 Towed from in front of my house this morning: a red Corvette. Where'd it come from? Unknown. Meanwhile, if you want to see more of my prose, here's today's redux on the VeriSign legal sitch. posted by Christopher Null | 8:40 AM 6.22.2003 I'm not upset that I wasted the weekend playing Civilization III. I'm upset that I did so badly. posted by Christopher Null | 8:35 PM 6.20.2003 The artiest picture of me ever taken is on page 16 of the current (July 2003) issue of Business 2.0. I wrote three stories for this issue of the mag -- two of them are cover stories (at least on the newsstand flap)... check it out! posted by Christopher Null | 2:45 PM So my troublesome DSL modem finally died. After two service calls, I'm told a replacement will arrive in about 6 days. Groan. First question from the tech rep when I told him I had a solid orange light: "Um, are you color blind?" Great... posted by Christopher Null | 8:59 AM 6.19.2003 Best show on TV right now... alas, only one more episode to go. posted by Christopher Null | 8:57 AM 6.18.2003 I've trashed the old Javascript archives in favor of the old school HTML archives. I also moved them down to the bottom of the page. Because who cares what I said last year? (Or yesterday, for that matter.) posted by Christopher Null | 10:00 AM 6.17.2003 Mmmmmmm. Beetles. posted by Christopher Null | 9:39 PM 6.15.2003 Are you the guy who stole my credit card number? I'm sorry you didn't get much more that a hotel room you booked online and some flowers ordered... both cancelled now, alas. It's been fun moving all my auto-billing arrangements to the new card, and an eye-opening experience otherwise. Who spends $250 on flowers? Idiot. posted by Christopher Null | 9:29 PM I've discovered rice tortilla chips at BevMo -- quite tasty. Still exploring, and have yet to get to Trader Joe's for their rice chip (thanks, Gretchen). But I'm sure you're interested in my peccadilloes, so I'll keep you updated ;) posted by Christopher Null | 11:00 AM 6.12.2003 Now that I have received and re-experienced Munchos, I'm on to a new snack obsession, and that's rice crackers. They have them as part of the snack mix on United Airlines -- little triangular crackers that are way crispier than wheat or corn crackers. I have tried the Asian snack mixes but those don't get it right -- they're sweet, not salty. Who can hook me up with rice crackers? posted by Christopher Null | 11:37 AM 6.11.2003 Applicant must be able to sit 50 to 75 percent of the time. posted by Christopher Null | 10:08 AM 6.10.2003 Ever wonder about the next generation of panhandling sites? I did too... posted by Christopher Null | 8:31 AM 6.09.2003 I am now One Of Those People. The people with the shrieking baby in the back of the plane. Why don't those people shut up that baby? Why did they bring the baby on the plane? What is wrong with those people? When you are One Of Those People, you suddenly learn the answers to those questions, but you find you are unable to explain those answers to the People Who Hate Those People. I used to be one of you. Now I'm one of us. I am sorry. posted by Christopher Null | 10:34 AM 6.08.2003 What's better than 3 hours at SFO? 3 hours at SFO with a baby! Pray the return flight is not so plagued with error (that is, my wife's inability to misread a 4:15 departure as a 4:35 departure). P.S. If you don't check in 30 minutes before takeoff they won't let you on the plane now! Travel sucks! posted by Christopher Null | 2:38 PM 6.06.2003 "Hi, I'm calling from the Time-Life Lie-bary..." One telemarketer needs some training... posted by Christopher Null | 10:36 AM 6.04.2003 Everything you ever wanted to know about buying technology for business can be found here, in my monster Business Buying Guide (10 parts, trickling out over the next few days/weeks) at ZDNet. Check it out! posted by Christopher Null | 10:51 AM A pretty big honking interview with me appears today on Lexis Nexis's "The Scoop." What insights I have, there you'll find. posted by Christopher Null | 9:01 AM 6.03.2003 Just thinking out loud here... The RIAA had a 2001 operating budget of $44 million (according to some website... these are ballpark figures). That budget is drawn directly from music sales and represents a percentage of the gross. In 2001, music CD sales totalled $12.9 billion. That means that for every $18.98 CD you buy, you are contributing almost 6 1/2 cents toward a potential lawsuit against you for sharing that music. Wild... posted by Christopher Null | 9:52 PM Now this game is a lot of fun. You'll figure out how it works. posted by Christopher Null | 11:24 AM 6.02.2003 Here's a fun little experiment: Replace the battery in your cordless phone with a new one, but reverse the polarity. The smoke that comes out of the phone is fragrant, like a salmon steak cooking on a hibachi. Try it with roasted vegetables. posted by Christopher Null | 8:52 PM |
