Blue Sky On Mars

As I had reported earlier on, my cousin Rob was planning a charity canoe event called “The Big Moo Canoe” to support Heifer International. Last month, he burned a solid 22,000 calories to complete the 250 mile route. He has a nice wrapup page for the event.

Donations are still open until July 20th, and Rob is hoping to turn this into an event that more people can take part in next year (send him email if you’re interested!)

Great job, Rob!

That’s a helluva canoe:

That’s my cousin, Rob Bean. He’s standing next to a 23 foot, 35 pound (!) canoe that he’s planning to paddle some 250 miles in a charity event he’s calling the Big Moo Canoe. He’s hoping to raise $5,000 for Heifer International Heifer helps to fight hunger and poverty around the world.

• 14:33 Spaz and Twhirl are both AIR-based clients. It looks like AIR adds the %00 to URLs that safari opens because they both have the problem. #

• 10:28 Why does Twhirl (an AIR app) use Control-Arrow to move between words rather than Option-Arrow on a Mac? That’s just wrong. #
• 10:28 For anyone considering making AppDrop more viable: take a look at the ZODB. Seriously. It’s a much closer fit for datastore than an RDBMS. #
