I had to take half a day off of work for Time Warner Cable to come. He came, would not go on the roof to install the cable. Should I cancel? at TedRoden.com

For the past couple of months, I’ve been troubled by a missing feature on some software that I’m working on. It’s just unlaunchable until I add it.

So tonight, I sat down to do it, only to discover that I’d implemented it months ago.

What does it look like when some band comes to your street to melt your face!? A lot like this.

It's good to have a phone back, but bad to twitter only two letters.

I'm using a loaner phone (N95) while I'm iPhoneless. It really makes me wish the iPhone had real bluetooth support. Bluephone Elite is great

The Smoking Popes - First Time

This is the first real studio release (and a new recording) of a very old song by some old friends of the family. They had a great band, signed to major label, released a couple of really great albums and then broke up in their prime. They’ve gotten back together. I’m so glad this song finally came out. It’s pretty great, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Google Region

Somehow, this didn't occur to me until today: it would be really great to select some text and enter a key command to search for that text on google. It may have taken me a long time to realize I wanted something like that, but I've used it today more times than I'd like to admit.

Anyways, here's how to make that happen in emacs, complete with a "control-c g" shortcut.

;; google-region
(defun google-region (&optional flags)
  "Google the selected region"
  (interactive)
  (let ((query (buffer-substring (region-beginning) (region-end))))
    (browse-url (concat "http://www.google.com/search?ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=" query))))
;; press control-c g to google the selected region
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'google-region)

This is a comparison chart of file systems on wikipedia.

Find the feature that doesn't belong. Here's a hint, it starts with "M" and ends with "urders your wife."
