Howard Greenstein: Random ThoughtA juicy tidbit of randomness from Howardgr.(Untitled)- December 31, 2002 I'll blog the resolutions, etc., later. For now, just have a safe and happy New Year!http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/31.html#a233 (Untitled)- December 28, 2002 Show me the baby! MSNBC and others report the allegedly first cloned baby. CNN's lunchtime show had some experts on disputing the veracity of the claims. Unfortunately, CNN makes you use RealOne's pass to view the video I saw. So bottom line - the experts are saying "SHOW ME THE BABY." Experts have dismissed the notion that Clonaid is capable of producing a human clone because Boisselier does not have a track record in the field of either animal cloning or human reproduction. And I...http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/27.html#a232 (Untitled)- December 28, 2002 Stuffy Nose Don't forget to use a tissue-san! link courtesy of Gen (I wish I read Japaneese, this is probably much funnier in the original.)http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/27.html#a231 (Untitled)- December 27, 2002 On December 12th, I blogged that a lot was going on at work. I also noted that I couldn't talk much about it. I'm now thrilled to announce (a little late): December 20, 2002 Twin Towers Fund Announces Third Round of Distributions: Additional $38 Million To 911 Family Victims. More... I've never been more proud to talk about my work than during the past year.http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/27.html#a230 Do You, Uh, Yahoo Chat What Did you say- December 27, 2002 Do You, uh, Yahoo Chat What did you say Hello Had an online chat with Jerry's crowd tonight. In the middle of the chat, we lost power in the house. Amazingly, the UPSes I had upstairs kicked in and I kept going. Then I came downstairs, turned on the laptop, and dialed up to the chat again. Unfortunately, that was when the not-seeing-folkstyping thing started to happen. Like that recent episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where where Willow, and Buffy and the rest of the...http://www.howardgreenstein.com/2002/12/26.html It is now possible to create your own feeds with NewzCrawler!- December 26, 2002 This is a sample posting from News Crawler. I learned about it from Jeremy Allaire's weblog.-- Composed with Newz Crawler 1.3 http:www.newzcrawler.comhttp://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/25.html#a227 (Untitled)- December 26, 2002 When I woke up this morning, I was mad at the weatherman for "crying wolf" again. They keep predicting huge snows, and we get small amounts. But after a brief pause in the 8-10am time, the snow started in earnest. We went to visit friends in the mid-day, and by the time we got back, there was at least 8 inches of good packing snow covering a layer of ice from mid-morning rain. This picture is what it looks like at 8:00pm. One of my neighbor's guests locked himself out of the car in the middle.http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/25.html#a226 (Untitled)- December 24, 2002 I attended the NYNMA ITV SIG last night. Lots of thoughts in my head about it. I published notes for it here. I have my introductory speach here. One thing that came to mind was that most of the folks are Broadcast folks with a capital B. That means they think in terms of sending stuff down to "consumers" with not a lot of thought to what people will send back, or send to each other. I was told, when asking a lot of questions in this realm, that ITV is not the Web, and that's true in so many...http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/24.html#a225 (Untitled)- December 23, 2002 End of Civilization as we know it Or just a new weblog Gawker is a Manhattan weblog magazine edited by Elizabeth Spiers, designed by Jason Kottke and published by Nick Denton. It is a live review of city news, and by news we mean, among other things, urban dating rituals, no-ropes social climbing, Condé Nastiness, downwardly-mobile i-bankers, real estate porn -- the serious stuff. Actually- they don't take theirsevlevs as seriously as the audience they purport to cater...http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2002/12/23.html#a224 Wired News: Is That a TiVo Under the Tree- December 23, 2002 Hey, Tivo Rocks. If you're not sure- now's the time to get one. Yet for those eyeing a PVR, now is a good time to buy, analysts say. The boxes normally cost around three or four hundred dollars, but in the last month the companies have reached the "magic $199 price point," Ireland said. On its website, the TiVo Series2 DVR costs $200 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) plus a monthly fee of $13 or a lifetime fee of $250 -- that's the lifetime of the TiVo box itself -- to subscribe.http://www.wired.com/news/holidays/0,1882,56828,00.html |
