Even if the recommendation is "don't get that, get this other thing instead."I'd like to be able to transport two children by bike, and have something that will work for a little while. In case you're not keeping track, that's currently a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old, who are both on the tall side.So, internets, what do you think?
Not the best pictures, but the elevator was beeping at me loudly. Anyways, I am amused.
It's hot, yo.
We're finally using our extra fancy ice cream maker attachment for the KitchenAid. We'll see how it comes out.

I decided to upgrade my mp3 downloader since Amazon told me that there was a new version when I was downloading The Roots album, but then I found that getlibs didn't want to give me the libraries I wanted since the amazonmp3 downloader is compiled for 32bit 9.04, and 10.04 has changed some libs around. I found that someone else had already figured out which packages to use, to get it to work so I figured I'd share his post. He also has more info on actually using a 32bit binary on a 64bit system if you're not initiated into that bit of excitement.

It came out on the 22nd. I'm horrible, so I forgot until now. But I just copped the mp3 album. It's good stuff.

Check it out at okayplayer. It's really good stuff. Sounds like the How I Got Over album is going to be good, and have a bit more traditional Roots laid back feel as opposed to Rising Down. Sounds good to me, can't wait 'till it drops on the 22nd.

XML is like violence - if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not using enough of it.

This tagline amuses the heck out of me. And sounds true in a great many ways. (Haven't used Nokogiri, but apparently it is the best thing since sliced bread for parsing XML in Ruby...)
As the chat wrapped up, Karson wanted to make sure that the eruptions and disruption were kept in perspective. With the recent spate of major earthquakes, some people have been wondering whether the planet is in an especially active state. It's not. These things go on all the time, Karson said, but they're often under water or in distant regions where the impact goes unnoticed. The difference is mostly that recent events have taken place where people are more aware of it. "We take for granted that air travel just happens," Karson said. "The earth is an active planet, and we need to work around things like this.

The article itself is on the Icelandic volcano that erupted earlier this week, and why it created such a large plume of ash, which is interesting in itself. I found it even more interesting that Karson is of the opinion that all the earthquakes we've seen recently aren't special, they just happened to happen in populated areas. Admittedly, looking at the records for earthquakes around the world (on the USGS quake site) has gotten me wondering about that as well.
