Chris’ college roomate put together a funny parody of “Behing the Music” in honor of Chris turning 30 today. I hope they can get a copy of it up on the web, it’s pretty fun.

At lunch we learned that the city of Des Moines had proclaimed this Chris Pirillo day in honor of both the success of Gnomedex, and his birthday.

Right now Tim O’Reilly is speaking about the internet, earlier Jim Louderback put together a home media PC. It really looked like a pretty cool toy for doing audio, video and digital pics all over your house. Maybe someday…:)

    I tell you, working for a larger organization, supporting 10 times the number of users I used to support and supporting a wider variety of tools, sure keeps you on your toes.

    Found another potential problem with the installation of Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Apparently it adds and automatically checks a checkbox on your Tools/Options/Security tab that tells OE to “Not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.” Nice idea, but the “potential virus” attachments I just tested it with, a…
