While perusing the web today, I remembered the Plan had played their reunion shows back in April. Tickets had sold out faster than you can say "Ice of Boston," but I thought watching some live footage from their last shows would be just what I needed.

Official notes from Apple on developing web apps for the iPhone.
I caved under the hype and stopped at the Apple Soho store after lunch to pick up the latest toy from Cupertino.
Complete activation (from registering for AT&T on iTunes to being able to make/receive phone calls) took only about 30 minutes. The process was seamless and I was able to transfer my number from T-Mobile without much trouble.
TIP: If your iPhone keeps saying “No Service” even after you’ve received the confirmation email regarding your service, turn it off (by holding the power button down for a few seconds) and turn it back on after 5 minutes. That did the trick for me.
So far it’s as badass as all the ads have made it out to be! »

These days, Cornell asks each freshmen to read a book over the summer before arriving on campus to promote discussions when they meet each other in person. The students are even required to do a short essay and attend a seminar during orientation week.
I recently signed up for the Cornell Alumni-Student Mentoring Program, so they sent me the book to read along with the incoming class and prep for mentoring in the fall. A nice surprise and a good idea.
A big box of pens arrived at our office today. Just 3 pens in a box that could've fit 200 pens. Shame on the Amazon partner that shipped this in such a ridiculously uneconomical fashion.
