    classic Windows video

    I came across this today.  In light of the big campaign around Vista currently underway, I thought I'd share this blast from the past.  This could be one of the cheesiest things I've ever seen.  It gets really good about 3 minutes in.

    Keep iTunes in sync with FolderShare

    One of things I use FolderShare for is to keep my music in sync between my different computers.  If I buy a song from the iTunes store at home I want to be able to listen to it at work without having to copy it to flash drive, email, etc.  That's where FolderShare is great, but what isn't great is that even after all the new songs have synced between the computers you still have to manually tell iTunes to look for new music.  This has always been the one hiccup in an otherwise perfect "multi PC music managment solution", until now. 
     
    I read about a utility called iTLU (iTunes Library Updater) this now takes care of that annoying need to manually update your library.  You can download iTLU here.  I haven't had time to install this yet myself so I can't speak directly how well it works or not, but it sounds like just the thing I need.  I plan to play around with it this weekend.

    Above the Space Needle

    Here's a shot I took from a sea plane we took from Victoria, B.C. back to Seattle.  If you haven't been on a sea plane, the take offs and landings are much smoother than a traditional runway.

    Fremont Solstice Parade

    We had been told by everyone that we've got to check out the summer solstice parade in Fremont.  This parade is known for the nude bicyclists that start if off every year.  I never thought I could see too many nake people.  Well I did!
     
     I've included a few pics.  We were about half way down the parade route and these folks cruised by at least 4 or 5 times ahead of the rest of the floats.  Even though we got tired of George riding by on his unicycle, the festival was a lot of fun.  Good food and music.  We'll be back next year.

    Seattle Skyline

    I'm always impressed with the skyline we have for relatively "small" big city.  This is the view from Gasworks Park. Austin's skyline is about 1/4 the size.

    Gasworks Park

    After work I took a walk down to Gasworks Park.  This is at the south end of my neighborhood and the north side of Lake Union.
