A sad day…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Maybe not for you, but it is for me. One of my favorite bands of all time is calling it quits. Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett has decided to call it a career and “take up challenges outside of music”.

Ironically enough for a band that struggled to get the recognition they deserve outside of Australia, I found this through Daypop, so I guess lots of people are blogging about it.

In retrospect I’m especially glad I went this spring to see them play down in Cincinnati. I thought it might possibly be the last opportunity I would get to see them because they don’t tour the US very often, but I was hoping not. I guess there’s nothing to do but grab all my MO cd’s and have myself a listen for old time’s sakes! Thanks for the memories guys!

    I never thought I’d actually have reason to think that reruns rock, but yesterday Call for Help, the TechTV show, aired a rerun of the show where they did a story on Evan Williams from Blogger. This is also the show that came with a follow up story about Chris Pirillo’s favorite blogs, in which…

    So XP SP2 has released to manufacturing. I’m going to be keeping a careful eye on reactions, issues, breakage, etc. for the next few days. Hopefully after I’ve had a few days to see what everyone else is experiencing with this, I’ll go get it myself and start testing on our network. Luckily there are…

    I was listening to this weekend’s Tech Chat about Time Management the other day, and thinking about how what those guys were talking about applied to what I’m doing. Things here in my small, small office are a bit different, for a number of reasons. Some of the systems that they were talking about makes…
