SteerMouse →
Do you use a mouse that has extra buttons? You’ll like the Steermouse driver.
It lets you program your buttons and scroll speeds like whoa (e.g., hello, 4x sideways scroll) and has some nifty features I never thought of, like automatically moving the mouse to the whatever the “close window” button is at any particular time. One of those features that seems unnecessary until...
The economics of the new Yankee Stadium →
Ticket prices at the new Yankee Stadium are so high that if a New Yorker wants to watch a Mariners/Yankees game from the best seats, it would be a lot cheaper to fly to Seattle, stay in a nice hotel, eat fancy dinners, and see two games.
Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.
Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle,...

Payoff Over a Web Singing Sensation Is Elusive →
To recap:
No broadcaster has figured out how to make money off their content via the Web, particulary on a pay-per-stream model.
Despite this, we are still calculating lost revenue on a per-stream basis.
Most networks have decided that because they can’t make money off streams, no one is allowed to see them.
ITV has decided that Web content is valuable as a promotional tool for the TV...

Why Tweet When You Can Bone
The biggest complaint I hear about Twitter from men is that they hate the word “tweet”. Hate saying it, hate reading it, hate hate hate.
So as we waited for Geordie’s show to open recently, Sara and Tom and I kicked around alternate phrases. The winner was “bone”, as in, “Nice bone!” and “I just boned that.” and “Merlin Mann bones a...

Dumbo/Vinegar Hill CSA 2009 →
Seriously considering getting in on at least one of these weekly deliveries.
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a way for people to buy vegetables directly from a local farmer. Before the harvest season, members commit and pre-pay to buy fresh, locally grown organic vegetables. This year the season runs from June 9 to November 10, 2009. Every Tuesday evening from 5-7:30 PM during the...

Migration From Mexico to U.S. Has Plummeted
The New York Times:
Mexican and American researchers say that the current decline, which has also been manifested in a decrease in arrests along the border, is largely a result of Mexicans’ deciding to delay illegal crossings because of the lack of jobs in the ailing American economy.
Hmm, this looks familiar. Here’s what I said last summer in response to this article on employment laws:

WatchMatt Workman - Spring 2009 - Music Video Showreel
I’m incredibly lucky to have found Matt and worked with him on a couple music videos and other projects for which he was utterly overqualified. The man is a beast. Producers: hire him while you still have a shot.
