Pings and Trackbacks

Does anyone out there know if the new MovablePoster app still pings everyone in your "ping" list?

When I post something via the MT enterface I can tell in the logs but not when I post from NewsGator/MovablePoster...

Sun's Blogging Policy

This sounds cool.  Finally a company that isn’t afraid to encourage their employees to speak their minds… sensibly. J

The Eternal Question: Are We Out of Beer?

This is probably the best application of technology in the real world that I have ever seen!!!  I sure hope they use them at Geeks Gone Wild!!!  J 

Students design wireless beer pitcher monitoring system: Meticulously researched, designed, and documented, two students solve the eternal problem of ensuring that pitchers are promptly refilled and that they don't miss last call by accident. A sensor monitors the pitcher's tilt and then alerts a remote system via radio signals. [via Slashdot]...
