Sean writes about the dearth of quality TV comedy. I couldn't agree more. I watched the NBC trifecta of Friends/Will and Grace/Scrubs last night was bored senseless. My wife laughed at a few of the lines, but I couldn't get into the plots. They *are* transparent and contrived. This is yet another reason to get a TiVo–I could have figured this out and deleted the rest of each show without watching any more.

An oldie but goodie from Adam's archive
Stumbled across this great story on Adam Curry's site after following some fun links last night. Worth the read again.
Amazon linking test
Trying a quick Amazon link generator from All Consuming. I am running a RSS feed through the blogroll macro, the same one I use for the categories OPML file on the right side of the website. If you're reading this in a feed, don't sweat it.
Update: I've removed it until I better understand how Radio's blogroll macro parses the XML.
passed!. 
Just got back from the test center. I passed my written exam for my helicopter pilot's license! Now for the 'check ride' in about 2 weeks time and then it's official: Captain Curry. Just wait 'till I hover over your hotspot 🙂 [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]
iTunes Discovery
Sean, I know what you mean. iTunes has been great; I'm buying more music than ever before. I listened to the clips for that band and I think I'm going to buy the album.
iTunes iSerendipity. I found this band, the Weakerthans, on iTunes, and fell in love on the first clip play…

Dave writes that changes are afoot at Userland. Hurray! Manila and Radio are great products with poor documentation, sparse training resources and in need of a programming tune-up.
In that spirit, I've created a wish list of Radio features. I've added the link to the sidebar also. If you like, post your list and I'll add the links on the story page.
Installing Panther
I've spent some time today installing MacOS 10.3 Panther. Thanks
to Apple's kind UpToDate program, I received my disks in the mail today
(late, my fault). Bad news–they are upgrade CDs, which means
that you *have* to have a previous version of…
oops. Kernel panic during install…
Holding down power button didn't do it. Three finger Mac salute did. Here's the setup on my test Mac:
PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keyboard)
G3/400, 512MB RAM, 12GB Hitachi HD
Processor card rev allows larger RAM and correctly uses L2 cache on board.
Installed MacOS 9, then a *very basic* 10.2, then started the Panther
install. Yuk. Tried this four times, no dice. I'm
going to pull the RAM tomorrow and see what happens. As for
tonight, I'm backing up my primary Mac, a brand new eMac with
SuperDrive, and doing an install from scratch. I'll break out the
restore disks, restore the 10.2.6 that it shipped with, then do the
upgrade from there.
What about the home server?
Well, it's running Jaguar server right now, so I'm not inclined to
change it. Wait, why not? Radio's backed up anyway and I
want to use it for XCode stuff.
RAM out of Lombard. Attempting reinstall.
: Removed 256MB chip on top. Had a similar
problem before the processor rev was installed. RAM probably
isn't up to Panther standards. No prob, just a test machine.
Stop the Insanity *or* Joshua gets more money than he needs
Whoops! Joshua asked for some help with money to cover the NH primary. He got it. In spades.
Joshua, keep my money and smile. It was great meeting you at
BloggerCon and I'm happy to support the site. I enjoyed the Clark
piece and I'll be thrilled to read the NH coverage, too.

The Third option is Mac OS X. I just finished installing 10.3 and I might have found Nirvana! Everything is fast, and easy to use. Expose has already changed my life for the better.
DiveintoOSX.org has a great blow by blow article on 10.3. It chronicles a lot of the 150 changes in this latest version.
