CIOs, Universities, Gen Y, etc.
This is a very insightful read:
The Long Tail: Who needs a CIO?
Chris Anderson is one sharp tack. I need to pick up The Long Tail sometime soon, even though I’ve read a book’s equivalent about the topic online.
How To Stop Using Banks
This was my most disappointing Google search in recent memory:
how to stop using banks – Google Search
Nothing. Nada. Not a shred of data online about how to stop using banks. Resistance is indeed futile.
If anyone has information about how to stop using banks (why won’t creditors accept cash, is it not “legal tender”?) please send it my way. This would mean, how to stop using banks while incurring the lowest expense and least inconvenience.
I hate banks.

This is a “must read” for anyone who uses Microsoft Office and does not yet understand the advantages of open standards:

CozmiKast Archive
Fans of CozmiKast have long suffered a lack of access to past episodes. Due to the disk space limit on our webhost, we can only offer between 5 and 10 of the latest shows for download at any given time.
The suffering has ended. Thanks to Tim, DynDNS.com, my D-Link router, Damn Small Linux and my old Compaq Armada 1700 that used to run Windows 95, the complete CozmiKast archive is now online. That’s right. All 39 episodes (by latest count) that you can’t get on cozmikast.com. They’re being served up from underneath my audio rack right here in the studio. [NOTE: you can get them on cozmikast.com actually, but they are being hosted from the Archive.]
The power fails often up here in Alton, NH, though, so if the archive is ever down, check back the next day. And thanks for listening to CozmiKast. I know it’s an effort sometimes. 
CFL Fury
I love compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs).
