Thomas Dolby back on tour!
One of my most favorite musical artists, Thomas Dolby, is back on tour for the first time in 15 years, and I think I won’t get to see one of his shows. The closest that he’s getting is Chicago and Milwaukee, but I can’t seem to find tickets for the show on May 19th and I think that might be my only chance!

FYI – Site outages over the next few days
In case anyone is curious, there are likely to be some outages over the next couple of days as I do some work on the back end of cavort.org. It shouldn’t effect L-Space but will likely effect everything else I’ve got hosted on this box while I mess around with the sites and the database.

One more thing
While I’m thinking about it, I thought that I would mention that the 360 that I did buy is obviously part of the first refresh since it did not contain the Xbox 360 Media Remote that was a “promotional item” from the original shipment. Too bad really, I hadn’t known that it was not in the recent shipments so I was surprised not to see one in the box. Ah well.

Finally made the plunge
I finally bought an XBox 360 yesterday. The Target up the street had a whole pile of the Premium systems actually in stock when I popped in. I do feel better that I did agonize over the decision a bit, and I only bought one game (that was on sale) but I’m still feeling slightly dirty about it. Also, ripping DVDs to an easily useful format to play back over the Media Center Extender is a royal pain in the ass.

Snow still lying around at Byerly’s
For those who are local, that might be a bit of surprise given the total melt that has been going on for the last week, but in this case I’m referring to one of my favorite new sodas. It’s been around at Kowalski’s (though hard to find the couple of times that I tried) for a couple of months, but look around the drinks cooler in the deli section of your local Byerly’s (confirmed at the Roseville store, as the open bottle in front of me can attest) or possibly Lund’s and you’ll sure to hit pure clean Snow.

Programmable Soda Bottles – Gizmodo
Gizmodo has an interesting little tidbit about Programmable Soda Bottles. Really neat idea, but I bet the flavors are going to be horrible.

Gods damned spammers…
For anyone who may be getting spam from “info@cavort.org”, suffice it to say some fucking Russian asshole has decided to use it as the return address for a whole shitload of spam over the last few weeks. My spam bucket, it overflows with mail delivery errors. While I am not normally a violent person, I wish him no good will in his current temporal incarnation.
