Why people shouldn’t be allowed to do marketing without a license.

The original post uses the “W** 2.0″ buzzword, but I’ll just call it a lengthy (not complete, although complete is probably impossible) list of APIs for interesting/innovative use. If you don’t know what an API is, here is the wikipedia page.
Here’s the link to the list of APIs. I know of a few they’ve left off including SugarCRM and Asterisk among others.

Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni died last week. This story tells a little about their work, offers viewing suggestions, and explains their impact on Scorsese, Spielberg, and the rest of the ’70s “Whiz Kids”.
Take-away nugget of trivia:
Coppola’s incredible “The Conversation” and DePalma’s “Blow Out” were both remakes of Antonioni’s “Blow Up”.
Trivia bonus:
The role that Gene Hackman played in “The Conversation” he reprised with a slightly different name much later on in “Enemy of the State” with Will Smith.

While reading Digg at lunchtime today I found something to post finally. No stunning tech news, no new products of any interest. No more baby pics for here - I’ll make a Maya site eventually. My MacBook Pro has yet to arrive at our door. Instead the most interesting tidbits for posting today are:
1. That you can put ketchup in rice and beans with the right seasonings and sauted onions and garlic without ruining it (and it’s the first time I’ve ever really liked red beans n rice).
2. That San Antonio may have a giant prehistoric bird hunting people around it.
I looked at wikipedia and google images for photos of either a pteronadon or a pteratorn, to no avail. The Digg comments have some really wacky conspiracy-buff/geek links to old school anglefire-hosted pages about Thunderbirds and assorted folklore.
Happy Monday

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This is fun.
I managed to avoid ever playing the Google image matching game and Tower Defense, however the former is a new favorite procrastination activity for some in our household (and it’s not the two-year-old).

Evidently I’ve got a decent name to anagram - although a few seemed vaguely dirty. One of these is now the title of this blog. Some of the more fun ones follow:

The idea is that after I deliberately post this complete waste of four minutes I can post anything.
