Free Shakespeare on the Boston Common
Shannon and I are going to The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's performance of Macbeth on Tuesday, August 5th. You're invited, too! It's hard to pass this up. It's free and the weather might even cooperate. The meeting spot is the fountain near the Park Street MBTA Station across the street from Finagle A ...
Matte Elsbernd for California Governor in 2003?
Matte sent out an email to friends asking for feedback about his possible run for Governor of California. Apparently you just need one more vote than the next candidate, some cash and sixty signatures. I live 2-1/2 blocks from the state Capitol. I could be at work in 10 minutes, even in 100+ degree heat....

Music Worth Noting : Universal Hall Pass Covers “Ring of Fire”
One of my favorite Boston bands, Splashdown, broke up a couple years ago after Capitol Records decided not to release their Blueshift album. All three of the band members moved on to other interesting projects. Melissa Kaplan (vocals/lyrics for Splashdown) started her own band called Universal Hall Pass, a project featuring her vocals ...
All Sondre, All The Time
My favorite Norwegian pop guy Sondre Lerche is working on a EP for the U.S. with an anticipated September release. Much to my delight it will most likely include a live version of Sleep on Needles which was the highlight of his show last month at TT The Bear's Place. » Sondre talks about his...
Movable Type : More Than Just a Weblog Tool
Last Fall when I started to tinker with the sometime-soon-it-will-officially-launch Exploit Boston! website, I wanted to try to use Movable Type for more of a content management system than just a weblog publishing tool. Brad Choate was a big help whipping up Perl code to make things like the five-day calendar work. ...
The Real Thing : Howard Dean
I was interested in politics the most from the ages of 12-17. In 7th grade I decided that someday I would run for president and Jesse Jackson would be my vice president. Then I went to college and started to care a lot less. It wasn't until learning about the Green Party during ...
Titanium Perfection in the 12″ Apple PowerBook
Shannon stopped by for a visit last night to see if her new PowerBook computer and my new Wi-Fi network could play nice together. A few seconds later and she was zooming online with no problems. Prior to last night I had not seen the oh-so-cute-stylish-and-yet-so-functional 12" PowerBook in person. I would happily trade ......
