“You’re myyyyyy, you’re my favorite waste of time.” Delicious Library has sucked all interest in computer-based activites (other than Flickr) out of me. FInally, an easy way to not only keep track of various media objects I currently own (so I don’t buy them twice, which is easy to do when many are in boxes in the garage), and track who I lent them to and when. This is key because I rarely remember. And all barcode-based, too. Sign me up for a CueCat from eBay and I’m all ready to go! Addictive, fun, and for someone with hundreds of books, very useful.

Well, I guess I’m a playa now…the comment spammers have found my wee site and left their pellets all over. Cleanup underway, and the IP is naturally banned, but I have to wonder what, besides annoyance, this form of spam really accomplishes. I may be wrong, but I suspect that the three of you who still read this little weblog aren’t exactly online poker aficionados—I would expect in this age of branding and focus groups that even the spammers would do a little market research.
Bopping around the net this afternoon, I found the site for PopTech, one of many conferences I’d love to attend if I had the time and money. I was looking for conference notes and registration info, and found both that, and this, a set of notes created in real-time by an artist as the speakers were doing their thing. Not having been there, I can’t say for sure, but it seemed a perfect summing up, both in content and approach, for a conference like this that explores the frontiers where culture and technology meet with each other and other disciplines. Very cool.
