Upgrade Ho!

Posted by Pete on July 22nd, 2006
For those that use Wordpress, I finally upgraded to the latest version. So far so good. And the nice thing appears to be the way it allows posting of images.

Tahoe

Posted by Pete on July 17th, 2006
I spent the weekend in Tahoe watching the celebrity golf tournament. Well I should say I spent the weekend watching the casinos take my money since that’s probably more accurate. We also rented a boat and cruised the lake on Saturday.

I still want to try kite surfing some day, just not on a day as windy as this one…

Nice List of Web 2.0 Sites/Apps

Posted by Pete on July 10th, 2006
So its a little dated (announced March 28th, 2006) but I recently came across a nice list of web 2.0 sites organized by category. Its actually a list of winners from the seomoz.org website and I could see myself killing a day or two playing with some of these links.

Some sites that I’ll be checking out :

wayfaring.com – Wayfaring allows you to create personal maps with and share them with your friends. Explore maps created by others and connect and collaborate over a vast social network. Mapmaking has never been so easy!

newsvine.com – Keep track of breaking news with Newsvine: read “The Wire” for a direct stream of articles from the AP and ESPN, and read “The Vine” for Newsvine user submitted content and columns. Interact with other Newsvine readers by voting for and commenting on news, and write/maintain your own Newsvine column.

cssbeauty.com – A project focused on providing its audience with a database of well designed CSS websites from around the world.

Pearl Jam Concert

Posted by Pete on July 9th, 2006
Good concert, lots of great songs. A setlist can be found here. No pics unforunately, my cell phone shots didn’t turn out. The cool thing is that you can buy/download the concert as well. For one song Kelly Slater showed up to play guitar.

Sonic Youth opened the show. I’ve certainly heard of them but have never really listened to them before. They were also pretty cool

Here’s a website I found that has some pictures of the show.

Turks and Caicos
