I’ve been sick for a couple of weeks, so I missed the 15th of this month for the portfolio holdings. So here it is as of the close of the markets on 2009-11-25: Jason: SBIX has dropped by 15% since the beginning (== the last month), making his $2500 now worth $2127.23. His SEP, O, [...] Read more »
My recycled Tweets for 2009-11-26
Anyone know the piece of #music played on #TheWorld 2009-11-24 after the Afghan chess article? It's not on the website yet. <– must have # RT @OhNoItsDark: "(ahhh. that's better. daylight.)"

YouTube hasn’t been on my radar until recently, but it’s a nice incorporation into my life.

Apple has decided — I think the official reason is “because they’re dicks” — to keep people from pulling mp3s off of their iPods onto their computers. It’s supported by the Linux program gtkpod, but while gtkpod is rather awesome at putting stuff onto iPods, it does less-than-useful things such as “violently crashing suddenly” when [...] Read more »
