There are a lot of lakes in Seattle area.

To fly over some of them, check out this Virtual Earth video.

Mesh.com

I like Mesh a lot.
For two reasons.
Log-in and file sharing.
Both are seamless.

Video Killed the Radio Star

Folks, it has happened again!!

From now on, if you want to show the world a good tip or a cool trick on your computer, just go to http://communityclips.officelabs.com and make a video clip.

Instead of writing a lot of text and adding many screen shots, just record a video clip — show and tell everyone what you are excited about.

Enjoy the ride!

An idea is a lot like a recipe

Andrej — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 02:54:42 +0000

For making a dish you need (at least):

recipe (idea)
food (ingreedients)
knives, forks, pans, … (tools)
kitchen (workspace)
hungry eaters (an interested audience)
dinning table (consuming space)
cooking knowledge
cooking skills
time
energy
motivation

To prepare a good dish, a recipe is required.
While a good recipe can’t hurt the dish, there is so much more that needs to go right.
It’s possible to cook a good dish even by using a not-so-good recipe.

Thinking more broadly, a good idea to begin with can’t hurt the final result.
However, there is so much more that needs to go right.
Right?

Happy cooking!

Snow

Snow season is starting these days.

Some pages to keep on the radar are telefon, Steven’s (RSS, OTS, Road) and Snoqualmie (RSS, OTS, Road).

Hey, it’s a start!

Bob says

Bob sells Ford cars. Yesterday I asked him about Friday holiday discounts.

Nope, he said, this is just for groceries and smaller stuff, not for cars.

They do have an ‘end of year’ sale for 2007 models, though.

Wintertime Grande Caramel Macchiato

The title is a summary of what you see at a typical Starbucks shop inside a big grocery store.

It sums up quite nicely that the big winter shopping season is starting, that outside is rather cold and that the scene is ripe for some seasonal flavors like eggnog and cinnamon.

Good times!
Enjoy winter!

All the difference

It is beyond words

how good it is

that you are back.

You make

all

the difference.

I like blogging

"I like juggling" is much more powerful than "I must juggle".
In case you can’t juggle, try "I’d like to learn juggling" rather than "I must learn to juggle".

Thinking about what you like doing is so much better than thinking about what you think you should or must do.

I like blogging.

What is bullshit?

Andrej — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 06:50:58 +0000

There are three things to keep in mind regarding BS:

Speaking the truth is expected.
Not speaking the truth is lying.
Not caring about the truth while speaking is talking bullshit.
