- This is terrific! A building in Cambridge, Mass., is the nation's most environmentally friendly corporate office building. It has just about every innovation to save energy and reduce pollution that anyone has ever come up with, and in the long run the extra cost will pay for itself in reduced operating costs. |

- Not once in this LA Times story (reg req) about Native American casinos' gambling revenues -- and whether the casinos should pay more to the state -- do you find the word "gaming," I'm happy to note. ... The gambling industry has tried to sanitize what it does by renaming the activity into something that sounds totally benign. And the media usually plays along. Not this time. |

- In my Music blogging motifs post on Wrong Notes, I link to some of the recent, interesting, developments in collaborative music sharing on the web. One of the features I've imagined for the iCite net, as a kind of collaborative online "radio" network, simply imagines playlists combined with backlinks. Imagine if playlists could also link you to all others listening to them and, as well, to the sources of the music (i. |

- Michael Herman caught onto WinFS's real nature last year and I'm just now catching up. He points to a paper describing ontologies and points out this about WinFS: "WinFS is a knowledge repesentation, storage and synch system ...a literal implementation of a system strongly based on ontology related concepts." For the basics of ontologies for our new world-to-be, Michael recommends Ontology Development 101: |

- Keith "Mr. Security" Brown kicks off a series of security articles on Longhorn. In this piece, Keith digs into the current plans for making Longhorn a much safer place for applications, only really giving administrator privileges to applications with a special need for them, regardless of the privileges of the user running the applications. This is a core piece of taking back our computers from the world's hackers and Keith lays out the basics nicely. |

- This week, Christophe Nasarre, one of the best reviewers on my Windows Forms book, has written a 3-article series on the new command line build system and the new build core of Visual Studio 2005: MSBuild. In this installment, Christophe starts from the ground floor, building the most basic .proj files and then exploring the advanced features you need to control your builds. Also, because MSBuild is still under development, this piece covers the details of both the MSBuild in the Longhorn PDC bits as well as the most recent Visual Studio 2005 technology preview. |

- Today I worked on my trailer a little. I went out and rented a belt sander to smooth out the hills and valleys that I made when cutting out my templat for the sidewalls. It worked out quite well and only cost me 5.87 for three hours use of a 160.00 machine. |

- It's not good news for a light Saturday, but it does give you pause to stop and think about just what the guy did. I haven't mentioned Tillman yet because I didn't knwo what to say other than 'Damn, man...thank you." On Friday, the Cardinals set up a table in front of their headquarters with Tillman's jersey in a glass frame. In front was a poster showing... |

- So I went to a Best Buy today and as usual there was somebody there to say hello when you walk in. Same as Walmart practice. What makes me feel uncomfortable though is that there are always 5, 6, 7 customer service guys/gals waiting for you in front of the PDA/phone section at the front. I wanted to look at some phones today but I bypassed it at a later time until I could "sneak in" the area. LOL I dunno, I just want to sometimes go look at the items and not get bother by CS folks. |
