Nifty Java applications for TiVo. I may have to get a network adapter soon.

Puffy AmiYumi
Looks like Puffy AmiYumi will be playing in NYC on 8/18.
Silkworm
I just found out that Michael Dahlquist, drummer for Silkworm was killed in an auto accident a couple of weeks ago. To quote from their web site, “While stopped at a traffic signal, his car was struck intentionally by another car traveling at a very high speed. Also killed were his good friends and fellow musicians Douglas Meis and John Glick.” These guys were a great band, and Michael was a great drummer. It’s horrible to think that someone would just randomly crash into a stranger’s car at high speed like that.
Ramble
I took a walk through the Ramble in Central Park yesterday. I just stumbled into it, honestly, but it turned out to be pretty nifty.
Looking for some info on it today, I stumbled across Forgotten NY. Aside from some interesting info on Central Park, there’s also a lot of other stuff there.
Flickr
I set up a Flickr account for myself a few days ago. My pictures shoud be here. All I’ve uploaded so far are my Gates pictures.
Steamboy
I just picked up the Steamboy DVD. I’m still kind of annoyed that I didn’t get around to catching it while it was in the theaters.
The Aristocrats
I have to admit I’m curious about this movie. Maybe I can talk someone into going to see it with me this weekend.
HD Radio
I’m kind of curious about HD Radio. There was an article in Wired a while back, and one in the NY Times today. It looks like quite a few stations are broadcasting in HD now. These guys make an interesting radio that picks up HD. It isn’t shipping yet, though.
yet more San Diego stuff
Here’s an SDCC wrap-up article by Dave Roman. And here’s a bunch more con pics.
The Tom Corven Project
I’m curious about this, though I don’t think I really have the time to start listening to it, considering all the other stuff I’ve got waiting to read and/or listen to right now.
Also, the Paul Story who writes this is not the Paul Storrie who writes comics.
