Dan Dunn’s Podium

I was pointed to some really random Arlington content today.
The first commenter on YouTube sums it up pretty well: “Micah you’ve really outdone yourself on this one…you strange, strange man you.”

How did I come across this link? This German guy emailed another German guy who emailed this guy who lived in Arlington who emailed [...]

Several friends have told me that as they read this blog, when they see Finance Committee, the press delete. I’m fine with that - I know it’s not for everyone. I also have people who tell me that they rely on my FinComm and Town Meeting notes. Many of them couldn’t care [...]

I’m way behind in my blog posting. I have two FinComm notes meetings to post, a Finneran bashing, the latest in junk mail technology, and volumes of politics. But I’ve been so busy! Campaign work, real work, fraternity stuff, etc. has kept me hopping.

I do my share of sports watching. But I don’t read/watch much sports reporting. I find it too repetitive. I mean, how many times can one person hear about Terrel Owen’s latest meltdown? Once is plenty. Even sports writers that I enjoy, like Bill [...]

This guy in San Francisco is wearing a camera 24×7 as a sort of publicity stunt.  I’m reminded of JenniCam - except this is even closer scrutiny with a mobile camera and has audio. And it’s a guy.  See for yourself right now.  I just watched him get kicked out of the Gap.
You could pay [...]

Story 1: Tabblo got mentions in USA Today and the Boston Globe in the same week. (Niiiiiice!)
Story 2: A few days ago a friend of mine sent links to a few funny images in an instant message. I smiled at them, didn’t think anything of it. Then I saw a link in a blog. [...]
