Google’s starting to remind me of the megalomaniac Brain, from Pinky and the Brain. They’re recently made a new push into the advertising game with their AdSense program: Google AdSense is for web publishers who want to make more revenue from advertising on their site while maintaining editorial quality. AdSense delivers text-based Google AdWords ads… Continue reading Google’s Pretty Shrewd
Ichiro Suzuki Interview
There’s a very interesting interview with Ichiro Suzuki on this week’s episode of ‘On the Record with Bob Costas’. Ichiro has a very interesting philosophy on the game, and life. He talks about why he’s so respectful of his equipment. Here’s an example of how he treats his equipment, taken from an old Sporting News… Continue reading Ichiro Suzuki Interview
And In This Corner…
I love a good fight. Reminds me of Spy vs. Spy: Check out Sean’s Blog vs. The Black Hand Side, in the battle over ‘Whiteness Studies’, among other things. (Sean, come on man, fix your archives so I can link to your exact post. Better yet, leave Blog*Spot.) OK gentlemen, I want a clean fight…… Continue reading And In This Corner…
Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls) Lyrical Skills
As sort of a follow-up to my greatest MCs list, I thought I’d post this e-mail I’ve been saving for years. It shows how creative and efficient Biggie was with his lyrics.
The RIAA Will Track You Down
Here’s how the RIAA plans to track filesharers. I wonder how long it will take someone to come up with a way to mask IP addresses from Kazaa? 10 minutes? ( There’s no stopping what can’t be stopped. No killing what can’t be killed.)
The Fallacy of Race
I’ve recently come across a few articles related to the PBS series Race – The Power of an Illusion (there’s a wealth of information on that site). I wrote a bit about that powerful documentary over on my Trader Mike blog. I thought I’d highlight it again over here. That documentary should be required viewing… Continue reading The Fallacy of Race

Treo 600 Review
PC Magazine has a full review of the Treo 600. Like I stated before, this looks like the best ‘smart phone’ made so far. I can’t wait to get my hands on one.
The Next TiVo?
Check out the ONEbox. This looks like a well designed media center. But it’s not cheap. The base unit sells for $1,000. From Gizmodo’s write-up: New digital entertainment PC called the ONEbox Media Center that combines a progressive scan DVD player, a digital video recorder, an MP3 jukebox, and a 6-in-1 memory card reader for… Continue reading The Next TiVo?
NewsMonster
I’ve been trying to find a good RSS reader/news reader, and it looks like I just found the one. Sifry has a great synopsis of NewMonster’s features. The killer feature, IMO, is that it incorporates many of Technorati’s tools. You can download NewsMonster here.
