Saying Goodbye To Web Services that Died in 2008 →
It looks like some services I love are closing shop Today. Yottamusic, the web service that provided a better interface for Rhapsody (most importantly it connected Last.FM to Rhapsody, why has Rhapsody itself not done that) has a goodbye letter up on its website. Also as of midnight I can no longer access Riya, the photo website with facial recognition that I was such a fan of. How many...

My First Woot Purchase - Slingbox →
I just purchased my first item off of Woot - a refurbished Slingbox AV single input unit for $70 plus $5 shipping (the new item is around $130 in stores). In a few months I’ll comment on the value of the product sold through Woot, and how well the Slingbox works - hopefully in a week I’ll have it at my house in Cherry Hill and then I can watch Philadelphia sports games and HBO on...

international communication or keeping in touch... →
I have friends in India (indefinitely), Barcelona (recently), and Korea (temporarily) - but lately I’m noticing more and more web applications make it easier and easier for me to stay connected and feel like they are part of my life and my day. I am using Twitter to route text messages to India and receive them back just as quickly. It costs no more than a usual text message. The other night...

The Sixers are better than everyone thought →
The Sixers were picked by some to be the only team in the East guaranteed not to make the playoffs. a few months later they’re 12-16, which actually makes them on the verge of a playoff spot (number 8 is Cleveland is 13-16), and they’re 7-3 in the last 10. The new GM hasn’t made any moves but maybe it’s enough to raise spirits and motivate, which is what I’d like...

2nd Avenue Deli Opens and I'm There →
2nd Avenue Deli Originally uploaded by kskobac. Ari, Angela, and I made it out to the Second Avenue Deli Grand (re) Opening tonight - there was a line out the door when we arrived at 8PM, but after a short wait we were seated. We ordered the sampler - all the major meats and spreads - and bowls of matzoh ball soup. Everything from start to finish was fantastic!
