Greetings Ubloggers
Anyone want to help me complete my Shaka Ponk record collection? I can't get you into Google I/O, but I'd happily pay triple and send you all the Google schwag you can handle..
Is the problem just having a valide euro credit card? I'll gladly help you with that. It's ok if you can't get me into google i/o, but maybe we can still enjoy a beer/cocktail somewhere near
Thanks Yann, if you're around the 27th-29th we should get together. I'm rarely in SF these days.
Regarding my odd musical tastes- yes it's only available on iTunes France which requires an account with France billing address/card.
I've dusted out my old french itunes account and credit card and ready to go... There are 72 downloadable media. you just want the NRJ sessions right?
If google I/O is still at moscone it should be easy to meet. When did you move out of SOMA?
I/O is at Moscone again -- 27-29th. I'll know my schedule by late next week, so let's get together one of those evenings. It will be nice to catch up. We've obviously gotten out of touch since it's been about 4 years since I lived in SOMA. (I'm in the Oakland hills now)
And yes, NRJ sessions is all I need. For the most part I've been able to get my Musique de la France without problems via either Google Play or Amazon. Merci d'avance Yann!
3rd party embeds pretty please?

It's been a while since I've encountered geo-restricted content. Man it sucks. Take my money dammit!
Oh, and if anyone wants to help me buy something from the France iTunes store LMK before I go off and try to find gift cards from the far corners of the internet.
Happy to reciprocate too!

The Current described this well:
“All My Life” is futuristic gold that I only wish could loop on for another 10 minutes. Twin Cities vocal talent Jana Nyberg lends her chords to the first two tracks of this EP and it’s safe to say that without her this song would not be as complete. You can feel her body pulsating to the beat just as easily as yours probably will, and in an instant we’re transported back to the height of Studio 54. The All My Life EP is out now on Kitsuné.

I worked there from 96-99 and in some ways they are stuck in the past, but in many ways they are forward thinking and we wouldn't be here today without the work they've done.
I also think it's arguable that the gTLD-MoU would have been better than the ICANN disaster that we're living with today.

For those outside the Bay Area La Boulange is a small bakery that has expanded to dozens of locations in the Bay Area. Their coffee is generally better than Starbucks and they offer casual dining with a french theme.
Wonder if they'll keep the free cornichon in the condiments counter?

Upgraded to Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle" in-place on the same image I've had since Redhat 6.2. It was a little more challenging than some upgrades due to moving everything into /usr, but overall it's working well.

Here's a blast from the past. I wonder if the Google lawyers would let us slip a T-Shirt clause into the next version of the Google terms of service?
[FYI - I'm finally migrating my youtube videos from an old google account to match the account I use for Google+. I recommend you do the same, it's just so much better to have the two accounts linked together...]
I actually own one of the Gopher World Tour T-shirts :-) it was from the 2nd Annual Gopher Conference at the University of Minnesota, if I remember correctly.
Congrats Ryan Schultz, that conference was a blast.
Adam Curry - if you still have that shirt you might want to loan it to the Computer History Museum. They have my well-used version right now...
This is a great little slice of history from the early 90s.
