Apple has quietly added a “feature” to their latest round of MacBooks to prevent customers from playing digital rights managed (DRM) movies purchased through their iTunes Store on non-compliant external displays. The goal is to plug the so-called “analog loophole” that would allow someone to record the video output for illegal distribution. [via Wired.com and [...]
My wife and I went a week ago to a lecture by Frank Warren, the founder of PostSecret.com, at Vanderbilt University. He spoke at length about how his art project escalated to a global phenomenon, yielding four books and numerous national media appearances. Interwoven within all of that was a discussion of the human condition [...]
We are going to BarCamp Nashville 2008 October 18 at the Sommet Center in downtown Nashville.
BarCamp Nashville is an open-source gathering of technology enthusiasts who come together for one weekend to share what they know and learn what they don’t. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.

I really should have learned my lesson after my trip to the zoo. This time I did not get the advance warning of watching a school bus pull up in front of the Parthenon at Centennial Park; the third graders all just appeared out of nowhere. I guess it says something that I am spending [...]
For the first time in at least six years, I am not participating in a fantasy football league (FFL). It is not that I do not have the time (well, at least that is not the principle reason), but instead that I did not want to put forth the effort of badgering the league commissioner [...]

I took a bit of video from last night’s fireworks display over Riverfront Park. The Tennessean estimated that more than 100,000 people came to the event this year, and I am curious how they even began to come up with a final attendance. The crowds stretched all the way up to Third Avenue [...]
Samantha and I are enjoying a “staycation”, the idea of staying around your home city on time off from work rather than traveling. Today’s two events (so far) were the Music City Hot Chicken Festival in East Park and the Music City July 4th event downtown. I took a few pictures from the events on [...]
Without giving away too much about my political leanings (which should really, really not be too much of a brain-stretcher), I thoroughly enjoyed this evening’s festivities at the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. State House candidate Mike Stewart joined us for dinner. To be fair, he was distracted and Samantha and I had no intentions [...]
Okay Peter Moore, the puck is at your end of the ice now. Are you going to let 2K run away with a year of hockey for the Nintendo Wii and leave EA Sports on the bench?
