To get the new features, OPML Editor users, bring flickrRivr.root to the front, and choose Update Front Tool from the Tools menu. Mike Arrington has the scoop on an interesting concept for a rumors site that borrows features from Digg and Twitter. It seems to me that a combination of Digg and Twitter has a lot of potential, as I said on Twitter on May 3.
Forty years later, in the springtime the weather in the Berkeley hills is gorgeous. Every day there's a new wonderful and natural smell rising from the gardens. The air is clear, and if it gets hot, it's just a matter of a couple of days before "nature's air conditioning" kicks in. The air is good to breathe, feels good on the skin, if you take a shower you stay clean. No one burns garbage. Oh but the noise! At 8:15AM I'm awoken by the sounds of a construction site which is down the street but sounds like it's right next door it's so loud and jarring. It will be like that all day, my guess is it will last through the summer. We live in paradise, but it's never quiet enough to enjoy it. Leaf blowers fill in the gaps between construction crews. Jack-hammers, saws, idling trucks, cement mixers. Every street in the neighborhood is like this. Maybe in twenty years they will invent a quiet way of tearing down and rebuilding. I wish they would do it now. Amyloo: "I have a memory of burning trash, too." Postscript: Calvin in SLC had a similar experience this AM. Postscript: The apartment house I'm writing about. |
