Looks like iPhone may be powered by ARM indeed:
Solid understanding of embedded hardware platforms (ARM processors, SDIO, UARTs, etc)

I’ve ditched del.icio.us, and imported all my links into ma.gnolia, based largely on an interview with Tara Hunt (of community marketing studio Citizen Agency) by Brian Oberkirch. The site is very nicely designed, the link bookmarklet works well, and they have ratings on links. (Hm, Perhaps I should recommend they add vote-links support…)
She talked about the work CA did with Ma.gnolia, and the focus that Ma.gnolia has put on design, experience, and on their core audience of Mac designers and developers. Definitely check out the interview, and give ma.gnolia a shot.
(My Ma.gnolia links have also replaced del.icio.us in the lifestream, DELICIOUSLYMETA)

Awesome! Congrats to the band voted most-likely-to-appear-in-my-dreams.
From your 169 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 3,640 items, starred 0 items, and shared 40 items.
Neat! Google Reader just added an interesting trends page that shows how often your feeds update, how many items you’ve read, shared, and starred, and how many items from each of your feeds you’ve read. I’m using this information to do a year-start prune of my (previous to starting the prune) 200+ feeds. (Down to 140 at this point.)
As a few of my readers may have discerned, I’ve gotten a bit obsessed with microformats lately. Microformats are simple ways to add machine (searchengine, browser-plugin)-readable information to normal, XHTML-based web pages. They are designed to be simple so that they are easy for authors and publishers to add to their content rather than having to support separate, more verbose content formats.
My first push into this field was the VoteBack initiative. VoteBack builds on the pingback and trackback technologies to auto-discover if the incoming link is a vote or not by parsing the link for rev="vote-for". VoteBack is based around the vote-links microformat, which is intended to easily encode the intention of a link, rather than the current “any-link-is-a-good-link” model.
In other areas, I finally got around to rewriting my about page, which is a microformat version of vcard. Because of this, I can direct you to the Technorati contacts feed which will grab the contact info from this site and let you add me to your address book.
There are a number of other services that provide or make use of microformats - a good place to start is the microformats wiki.
I’ll be linking a lot more, at least for a while, to microformat-related stuff, and probably pushing and pulling parts of the site to conform more to the formats that are out there. If you’re a web designer or developer, consider adding microformats to your sites and help us bootstrap the future of web applications.
Stationed at South Korea’s border with the North, my friend’s job was to create soundscapes. By mixing sound effects loops, he created the audio illusion of an apparently endless procession of armored vehicles. To the North Koreans, who could not see what was on the other side, it sounded like an immense army was mobilizing at their border.
My wife recalled this story during a dinner last night at an elegant restaurant. At least, it was elegant until we showed up. Our two-year-old daughter had missed her nap and was conducting a series of terror attacks on the linen, cutlery, and staff.
In an effort to save the restaurant from destruction and our family from shame, we tried bribing, coddling, and various distractions. When nothing else worked, we resorted to an escalating series of empty threats. Eventually, if only for a moment, we prevailed.
Gently removing sauce from her delicate blouse, my clever wife observed that parenting is like PSYOPS. You want them to think you have the tanks.

If you find yourself behind a firewall or filter that blocks popular podcast file servers like libsyn, try out the Feed Coralizer. The Feed Coralizer rewrites the feed, routing (mp3/m4a/m4v/wav/aiff/wma/wmv/mov/mp4/mpeg/avi/pdf) files through the Coral network.
I have discovered that certain networks do not allow Coral proxying: revision3.com (Diggnation) and dl.tv are two that I know of right now.

I’ve finally updated my about page, with some new information, hcard marked-up content, and (for posterity’s sake) a copy of my first about page ever.
Michael Kaply blogs about Windows Live Clipboard support for microformats in the Operator plugin for Firefox.
This reminds me of the work I did with Brent Simmons back in the day on an RSS Item format for OS X’s clipboard, which I supported for a while in my ill-featured-and-ill-fated weblog editor, Sid. I’d like to see something like this come to Safari/Firefox on OS X, so we can easily copy hCal events into iCal, and hCards into AddressBook, etc.
Evan Prodromou is cleverly marking vote-links on his with Unicode symbols: ♥ and ☠.
Based on some feedback from the trac issue, I’ve updated my VoteBack post and plugin.
If you’re into microformats and are a Wordpress hacker type, I’m looking for testers and feedback.
