- Cleaning up my mac …I have some many useless applications installed… #
- Training sessions are really not very interesting, but I did get to sleep in this morning…that was cool. #
- The Training consultant has effectively told us nothing of use yet…what a waste of time. #
- Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like I haven’t actually learned anything today. #
- Business Objects really isn’t very interesting #
- “We’ve had 20 problems, and you’ve be completely right on 18 of them” …I received a nice compliment 🙂 #
Review: Common – Finding Forever
I’ve been listening to the brand new album by Common, and I must admit I think Common’s Finding Forever is my favorite of his albums. Some of my personal favorites on the album include So Far To Go (ft D’Angelo), Misunderstood, and The People. I’d highly recommend this album for any true hip hop fan.

Microsoft 'Gatineau' sneak peek
Microsoft ‘Gatineau’ sneak peek
One of the reasons we wanted to wait for our own announcement around the beta functionality is because we wanted to explain where we get our demographic data from. Beta 1 will include the ability to segment data by both age and gender buckets, so you can get more of an idea of what kind of visitors you have. Questions are already being asked on Dave’s blog about where we get this data from; the answer is that we do get this information from users’ Live ID (formerly known as Microsoft Passport) profiles, but I would stress that we get this information anonymously, and there is no use of PII (Personally Identifiable Information, such as name or e-mail address) in the product.
Sounds quite interesting, and I definitely hope to get into the private beta. Honestly, I don’t know how a stats program is really going to impress me, but I could always be proven wrong. Some leaked screenshots below

CD Album Art Gallery
I thought this was an interesting idea: I uploaded a folder that contains CD album art for all of the music that I listen to. Picasa Web Albums have a maximum of 500 images in a gallery, so this is far from all of my music, but it’s a a decent sample anyways. In my opinion the slideshow below does not do it justice, but it’s a start. To see the Web Album, and to get a better feel for the plethora of album covers view my CD Covers Web Album here.
