Notes for 3/1/2009

By Mack D. Male | March 1, 2009 at 10:17 pm

Here are my weekly notes:

I sort of already do this when I post my “Sleeping” update at night – Yawnlog is a social sleep tracker. There really is an app for everything!

FriendFeed posted a really interesting entry about how they use MySQL to store schema-less data. They currently have over 250 million entries in their database, not counting metadata!

Computerworld’s Mike Elgan called podcasting “the most underappreciated, underutilized media ever” in a new opinion piece this last week.

What did the Internet look like in 1996? Slate took a peek this week. AOL is mentioned six times in the article, Netscape four times.

I’m going to write about my new Netbook soon, but in the meantime, check out this article from Wired: The Netbook Effect: How Cheap Little Laptops Hit the Big Time.

Another great essay from Paul Graham: Can You Buy a Silicon Valley? Maybe. Don Dodge has some good discussion of the idea here.

Looks like I need to have a blogging evening/day – my backlog of posts is getting awfully long!
