ShotgunGuide.com – Official Rules for Calling Shotgun
I wish I saw this earlier.
Amendment XVI: Jedi Run
If the car is not within sight of the driver, and significantly far away, so that the proposed walk to the vehicle is neither linear nor within five minutes, the initiating party may call “Jedi Run” after a successful shotgun call (vehicle visibility is not required for this success). She must then beat all other opponents to the vehicle. In order to secure shotgun, the initiating party must not be out of breath or tired by the time the rest of the troupe arrives. This overrides any other countermeasures for shotgun if executed before they come into effect.
I think those 3 iTunes subscribers are me. I don’t know about feedlounge since it should only count as 1 but it would be cool to see 3 people from that service subscribe. Why didn’t I do feeddemon earlier?
After subscribing to JasonB’s delicious feed I found this.
…you can use the del.icio.us bookmarking service to auto-load music and video files others have bookmarked…
Craft a del.icio.us RSS URL which gets you the media you want. Some examples:
All MP3’s:http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:filetype:mp3
All videos:
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:media:video
Just mashup MP3’s:
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:filetype:mp3 mashups
Just screencast videos:
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:media:video screencast
Just popular video: (Thanks, James!)http://del.icio.us/rss/popular/system:media:video
Or popular music:
http://del.icio.us/rss/popular/system:media:music
After seeing this I found out that you could create your own podcast just by bookmarking mp3s via del.icio.us.
My example:

I am contemplating splicing this into my main rss feed.
For the last two summers I have been meaning to get a ceiling fan installed in our bed room; with the heat, as it is, I had to. On Saturday Sara and I went to Lowes to purchase a ceiling fan and get some insight for installing it. As the instructions were delivered, I said to myself, “I am never going to be able to do this. Running electricity up a wall, after splitting it from an outlet, cutting a hole in the ceiling, making the a support beam in the rafters, then putting the fan together. Impossible, but too expensive if I don’t do it”. But I was determined only to be dismayed by the shake of Sara’s head as she looked at the ground.
My thoughts were wrong and it turned out to be half the situation I imagined. The rewards of having this fan was well worth the headache and sweat.

Firefox: Mac PPC Optimized Builds
Firefox 1.0 is a little buggy already but I really like deerpark. If you have a mac I recommend the download; it doesn’t replace 1.0, don’t worry.
