Series Of Tubes
This is old but my dad didn’t know about it. This makes for a very good laugh. If you want the details google “Series Of Tubes.”
Bobby Fischer
Bobby Fischer the chess master has died. The New York Times has a nice piece on him. He was brilliant but very strange. Link
By the way if you don’t read the New York Times website you really should. The site layout is awesome and the content is second to none.
Black Slacks
Long ago before I was born Rock ‘n Roll began. Here is part of that history. The Sparkletones had a number 8 record and toured the country. They performed on stage with Elvis Presley. Who is that bass player? Wait a minute I know that guy. 🙂 Here is Black Slacks.
Where blog posts go to die?
This is not interesting. A blog with no posts. How about a blog with post titles but no posts. I currently have 8 drafts saved. But none are complete posts. Could a post title be interesting on its own? Probably not. I have a really good in depth long post 60% done titled “The Crease of A Map.” Over the course of my non blogging I have come up with many post ideas. Ideas on napkins, ideas on post its, and ideas on paper. But, no posts. Perhaps I have just diagnosed a blogging syndrome. See look I just came up with another idea for a post. “Web Disease – Blogging Syndromes.” Sounds great will it ever get written probably not.
I do read feeds everyday. If only there was an easier quicker way to generate a linked post for everyday. 10 minutes. I want to spend 10 minutes and show the links and stories that were the most important to me that day. I just came up with another idea for a post. Help Me Blog Google Reader Help Me Blog!!!!
So this has taken about 10 minutes and it is around 9:00 in the east. More later…
