As it stands now, when I post to my blog the feed is picked up at Livejournal as Lj user baldheretic. This allows Lj users to add my feed to their friends list.

I am now experimenting with a plug-in for Word Press that will post my blog entries to my MySpace account.

It seems to be working! Woo-hoo!

The plug in is called MyPress and can be found here

The MySPace account is www.myspace.com/baldheretic. Feel free to add me if you have a MySpace account.

The Moon

It’s going to be a Star Trek kind of day…

As you probably know, James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) has passed away.
The story is here

As a tribute I now do what no nerd has dared.
I post Star Trek humor in my blog.

Yup, I’m a rebel. A trend setter.

Douglas Adams interview

In 1988 I had the priveldge of interviewing Douglas Adams as he was promoting the book “Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul”.

I recently discovered the only known cassette recording of that interview and I have successfully digitized and converted it to an MP3 file.

Length of interview is 25 minutes and many topics are covered.

I was pretty nervous when I did the Interview and had very little experience but I think it came out pretty well.

If you wish to download the MP3 you can simply right click here and select
“Save Target As”. The file is about 25 MB in size.

Enjoy.

Weekend update

It was a good, good weekend.

The anniversary party was (in my “humble” opinion) a huge success.

Drop Trio was awesome and even brought out a refurbished Arp 2600 which has uber-geek appeal.
A pleasant and well received surprise came when they performed the Technology Bytes theme song.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and I was able to relax and enjoy the company of some great people. Saw some old friends and made some new ones.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

Radio party tonight!

I know that not everyone I know is a fan of the show.
Still, tonight I celebrate 10 years of doing something I love.
If you are free tonight and can make it out, you should. It’s going to be an awesome time.

Details are at the web site.

Signage

I came across this picture I took from the train going to Pisa from Florence.
Most of the trains in Europe are electric. They use suspended electrical cables to power the engines.
It makes sense to have warning signs cautioning people not to touch them.

You have to respect a country that uses a skull and cross-bones on their warning signs.

Translated at babelfish.altavista.com it says:

House Fire

I forgot I had these. I took these before I left on vacation.
This is from a house fire in the Montrose.

It’s a house behind the radio station where I do my program.
