We have a ton of stuff going on right now, so I apologize for the lack of linky goodness posting. I’m going to try to get back into a daily routine. We’ll see how long that lasts. Anyway, here we go.

I’m sure you guys can deal
My only power trip at work is that I ban sending bad news by email. If there’s the least chance the recipient will react badly to your message, you need to deliver it in person. Even worse are all the examples up at PassiveAggressiveNotes.com. All the posts are worth reading, but this one is expecially funny. I hate when the servers melt.

Awesome sed reference
If the word ’sed’ means nothing to you, you can safely skip this.

Color palettes from art masterpieces
Really interesting examples of color palettes derived from art masterpieces. I still have my trusty Color Index book, but this is another good way of brainstorming color schemes.

It’s a renter’s market on Cape Cod this summer
Not really an issue for us, but interesting to see the dynamics around that market.

Holliston Triathlon
So, this is what was blocking Norfolk Street last weekend. A five-mile swim, followed by a fifteen-mile bike ride and five-mile run would be a good day’s exercise for anyone. One journalistic note, though: the article doesn’t say who actually won the race.

Sadie had a great time in Concord for the fourth of July festivities. Her favorite part was when she got biffed in the head by a tie-died beachball. Sometimes it’s hard to see clearly from behind the shades.

We launched an update to our local search product this morning: multimedia search. So now, you can search over NESN, NECN, WRKO, WEEI, WBZ, most of the tv stations, and 100 or so local podcasts. Our partner, Everyzing, transcribes the audio, and then we index the transcription.

It’s pretty handy. I heard that Bill Belichick was on ‘EEI this morning, so I just went to Boston.com and searched for Bill Belichick. The entire segment was linked over on the side.

Sometimes Sadie decides that she’d like to be like me, even to the point of wearing my old, decrepit Red Sox hat.

It doesn’t always end well.
