I hate it when websites put up direct links to Adobe PDFs without indicating that the link leads to a PDF file. Every time I click on one of those, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and wait for Acrobat to load - which takes forever.

Clean house before party.

A great exchange from this month's Wired. First a quick interview with a Verizon VP about why they put a stop to Pennsylvania's efforts to provide free municipal wi-fi, then Lawrence Lessig takes Verizon to task in a brilliant, sarcastic rebuttal.

It's been monsoon season here in LA over the last few days. I haven't seen rain like this - well - ever. I took a few pictures last night of the flooding around my apartment last night in the dark, but none of them turned out. The water was only there for a few minutes before draining away. The problem wasn't clogged sewer grates, simply volume.
