Our Dog, Westerly

Sunday, November 16th, 2003

I figured it’s about time I put a picture of our puppy up on marusin.com. Her name is Westerly (named after a Strangefolk song) and she’s a 9 week-old Yellow Lab.

When she’s not being cute she’s being a major pain in the arse… :)

Feed On Feeds

Friday, November 14th, 2003

Feed On Feeds is a server-side personal RSS aggregator.

Feed On Feeds sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Feed On Feeds is what I’ll probably be installing tonight.

If this product is as good as it seems, I will be very very happy.

Thanks to Steven Frank for the heads-up on this utility…

iPod for the holidays

Friday, November 14th, 2003

Apple has put together a pretty cool website at ipodrocks.com that is an informational site about the ever-popular iPod.

They are really pushing the iPod for Christmas this year and this site is proof by showing ways to “ask for an iPod”. It’s a slick little site that is definitely worth checking out.

Check out a user report on the new Pioneer DVR-810H.

It’s a combination Tivo/DVD Recorder. When these things come down in price, you betcha this will be on my list… :)

so busy

Monday, November 10th, 2003

I’ve been pretty busy in both my work and personal life lately so there’s been a bit of a lack of updates around here. That will change, don’t you worry.

Nize Packag(ing)

Thursday, November 6th, 2003

Very nice DIY DVD/CD packaging over at jewelboxing.com (brought to you by the fine folks over at Coudal Partners)…

I might have to look into these for my annual year-end compilation.

The “Real” School of Rock

Tuesday, November 4th, 2003

Everyone knows about the latest Jack Black movie, “School of Rock” (which is highly recommended by the way)… However, did you know that there is a real “school of rock” where kids can go learn how to be rock stars?
