I took this pic at the mall where I dropped off my Macbook yesterday. The funniest thing about it was that the security guard came up to me afterwards and told me that pictures weren’t allowed because of “intellectual property.” :P

Ok, not really. But my hard drive died yesterday, and I hadn’t backed up in months. It’s at the Apple Store right now, who knows how it’ll come out.
Anyway, if you haven’t heard from me or whatever, or you need to get in contact, email is the best/only way for now, or maybe Twitter (if you DM me, it’ll get sent to my phone).

Bloggers: If you’re as annoyed as I am of typing “del.icio.us” when you’re trying to link to Delicious, remember that you can now type in http://delicious.com– they own that, too.
(From Kottke.) I love this quote from this Michel Gondry interview:
I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don’t like cynical people. I don’t like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don’t have to justify it. You don’t have to fight for it.
I’ve seen people suggest it, but I have a hard time believing that optimism is genetic. My podcast is basically about complaining, but I remain a very optimistic person at the core, and I think it’s available to anyone. I also believe it’s gotten me most of what I have today.
FYI, you probably like Michel Gondry if you’re white.

I mentioned in my podcast last week that I’d been fasting for weight loss. I’m doing that again today and, let me say, the results are very interesting.
I used to be addicted to feeling full. My girlfriend can attest that, before this, I used to be unable to go to sleep without eating something in order to not feel hungry. It was probably costing me a few extra hundred calories a day which, over time, definitely helped me put on a few pounds.
This has changed a lot. This is my second fast– I haven’t eaten in almost 24 hours now, and feel totally fine with the ‘discomfort’ that occurs from being hungry. In fact, I’m more comfortable with hunger than I’ve ever been in my life. It’s almost relieving.
If you’re interested in finding out more about how I’m doing this, I recommend looking at Brad Pilon’s blog– I’m following what he wrote in his book Eat Stop Eat, which was super informative. I’ll probably blog about it a few more times too, as I adjust to it and see what effect it has on my system.

… and you can thank Neil Gorman and Nokia. Listen to see why. (The music is by Greydon Square… thanks Tim.)
The RSS feed is still here.
Also, for the next 3 months or so, Nokia is sponsoring the show. They sent me an N810 and I chat about it a bit in the thing. You can use the code “inoveryourhead” if you’re going to buy one, it’ll give you a 15% rebate on it (which is cheaper than Amazon).
So the plan is to do them every 10-14 days or so… feel free to harass me if I don’t (Podshow will, otherwise). :)

I just downloaded the new Stones Throw DVD, In Living the True Gods, from iTunes. I’m seriously impressed by it. Here’s a still from “Monkey Suite”, the first video on the disc:
I was expecting to pay like 20 bucks for this thing, but they have it on iTunes for $9.99 (in the US store). You can also grab it on Amazon, etc. etc. Check it out.
P.S.: I’ve actually made a new podcast. It should be up by the end of the day. :P
