Hey folks I'm helping one of my French clients find frequent instant messenger users, to take their survey... It takes 15 minutes and there's a pretty good chance you'll win an iPod (they're giving away 10, and I expect less then 200 respondents, so go figure...) So if you're a regular instant messenger user, take it and register to win here: http://imsurvey.notlong.com ALSO- please spread the word to any frequent IM users you know. Thanks
Sean

I received a cute little iPod for ex-mass. Tasty...
As a result of that (and of finally having extra time) I've finally started playing with audioscrobbler.
I'd love to hear from any Seattle friends who are on audioscrobbler.com! I want to hear what great new tunes you're tuning into up there. I'm username cheesebikini on audioscrobbler, hook up and drop me a line...
Happy new year.

The Odeon is a San Francisco legend, home to some of the city's best underground acts... And Oct. 24th they're bringing a show to Seattle. Mark your calendar; I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Details: http://www.odeonbar.com/seattle.html
Can anyone recommend a competent, trustworthy mechanic in or near the U District?
Thanks!
I usually have no stomach for the reams of neurotic, self-absorbed "self-help" literature that Americans consume every year. But cartoonist/ad-man Hugh MacLeod makes a lot of good points in his set of weblog posts called " How to be creative." I think we all know many of these things intuitively, but MacLeod's clear and clever reminders might help keep things on track. Czechy doubt.
The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free. Full story
Fasten your seatbelts: Newsweek: Dept. of Homeland Security seeks power to postpone presidential election http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5411741/site/newsweek/My favorite quote: "We are reviewing the issue to determine what steps need to be taken to secure the election," says Brian Roehrkasse, a Homeland spokesman.
Folks: As you may know, this summer I'm working at Intel Research Seattle, exploring ways that online relationships, such as those based on LiveJournal, can move into the offline (“real”) world -- and learning what online services can add to face-to-face conversation. The project will be open to anyone, but we think Seattle-area LiveJournal people can especially benefit from what we're building. An important part of our research is to learn how people here interact and use wi-fi (wireless Internet) in public and semi-public places, so we've put together a short survey that addresses these issues. If you live in or near Seattle and use wi-fi (wireless Internet access), you can help us immensely by taking a few minutes to answer this brief survey. Your responses will be kept completely anonymous: http://ljsurvey.notlong.comAt the end of the survey, you'll be told how to get more involved if you're interested in helping to test out the tools that we build this summer. We're trying to get as many responses as we can, so if you think this is interesting it would be great if you could spread the word by linking to this posting in your own journal. Here's the link to this post: http://www.livejournal.com/users/disrupsean/3566.htmlAlso, please spread the word to any non-LiveJournal friends who use wi-fi around Seattle too. Send them to the survey here: http://ljsurvey.notlong.comThanks! Sean
A friend just turned me on to a remarkable fact: right now, if you search for my name on images.google.com, here's the first result you'll get back: a photo of a dolphin trainer named Sean Savage at Island Dolphin Care in Key Largo, Florida. This is wild because I'm also Sean Savage, and I was obsessed with dolphins as a child growing up in South Florida. Back then I was sure I'd be a dolphin researcher and/or trainer, but then I discovered women. And computers. Which reminds me of a profound poem by Attaboy: Flipper is my idol
He is an entertainer
Flipper is my idol
I want to be his trainer Wed, Jul. 7th, 2004, 03:52 pm
Weblog numbers
 Technorati reports the emergence of 15,000 new weblogs per day as of June 4. But Perseus reports that 66 percent of 3,634 surveyed weblogs had not been updated in two months at the time of the Perseus study.
 Finally, someone has invented a machine to automate my absolute least favorite chore: ironing shirts. Slip a damp shirt onto the Siemens Dressman mannequin-thing and Dressman's ballon skin fills with hot air, pulling out the wrinkles and drying the shirt. Trouble is, the thing costs about US$1,000 and uses double the power of a traditional iron. And it's huge. So for now I'll stick with that chemical wrinkle-remover spray that will probably make my children mutants. But give it a few market cycles and the Dressman might be ready for prime time. More details at The New Scientist.
 I am amped up. One of my favorite bands, the Red Elvises, is coming to town. They'll tear up the Tractor Tavern here in Seattle, one night only, this coming Saturday, June 11. Don't know the Red Elvises? Take a look. Come out for it; I guarantee they'll stretch the $10 cover a long way. Tix available online here.
