I have to admit, I really like my new setup. tail -f carlo.log for the “real” blog posts and tail -f carlo.tumblr for the random sillyness and interesting bits and pieces I come across. It works out well and has some advantages over writing a Post-It post every now and then.

It’s more …direct.

So I think I’ll keep using/maintaining it. Remember, it has a separate RSS feed.

Jedi Stamps. Apparently the “Jedi Shipping and Mailing Master” wants the collective opinion about the stamp you want to reign above all others. Really. [via Darth Vader]

Late to the party. ADS kids, listen up! What can I say, yes, me too. I still don’t fully get Twitter—I still don’t understand the total awesomeness everyone is so excited about; or the working business model behind it, for that matter.

We gots mail! We have unleashed a new beast—the Yahoo! Mail Web Service. On a scale from 1 to 10, this is so damn cool.

Quote of the day. Today by Beryl. Wise words, for those of you who don’t know or may have forgotten:

Do not pour your heart, soul, and life into your job. When the job goes sour, you may have nothing left.

You cannot build something new and different with a big team. Big teams are only capable of duplicating existing technology. The sum of 20 sets of vision is mud.

Ever played flOw? Then you might be able to relate.

Clown car. Seriously, it’s not. (The image is safe for work, the type of humor might not be.) Haven’t laughed that much in a while.

The Daily Show. My favourite TV show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, is part of the program of the new German Comedy Central. Now here’s the kicker—you can watch every new episode on their website. Let me sum that up, because it’s so fantastic: Daily Show – most recent ep – streamed – legally – free. Awesome!

Outlook vs. DST. This is what happens when you try to schedule a meeting to handle the DST changeover in Outlook.

PS3 Home. [via the always excellent Antigames] Sony’s planned Home service looks pretty rad. Now let’s see how much of the glitz they can pack into the final product, eh?

YPLAA. YouParkLikeAnAsshole.com is a site with a real purpose. Period. It even has notices you can print out and attach to offending parked cars! Loving it.
