I must be dreaming. Coachella here I come!

Why go Merlot when you can call a Cab? Don’t miss this one. Outstanding!

Every couple of years I get the urge to document my family tree. It’s embarrassing how little I know about my family’s history. I’ve tried various genealogy programs, but in the end (for one reason or another) I end up abandoning the project.

With the continuing “webification” of apps, I think I’ve found a simple way to get things rolling again (thanks TechCrunch!). Geni is an online Flash app that allows you to easily add family members to your tree and create a graphical view. The best part is the capability to invite people via email to update their own info. This should make finding that elusive family info a bit easier.

Geni is still in beta, but looks pretty good so far. I’ve already entered 60+ people to my tree. Hopefully some family members will help contribute.

Went for a 10 mile bike ride this morning. It was ~16 degrees. With the wind chill and an average speed of 14 mph the “real-feel” was down near zero degrees. Wild when your water bottle freezes solid during the ride! At times I felt like I was in that scene from “Dumb and Dumber”.

Perfect night for a fire… Getting down to 13 degrees tonight in Woodcliff Lake.

I’m disappointed that AT&T has chosen to get rid of the Cingular brand. I think it’s a big mistake. I concur with Jason Dunn (of Pocket PC Thoughts):
