Three feast on Buford Highway for $42 | Omnivore Atlanta.

I am going to eat at this place, and very soon. Close to home, and looks fabulous.

Have you played with one of these $100 network attached storage servers? I just found out about them today. They’re “Plug computers”—a solid-state wall-wart-sized low-power-drawing Linux server; attach a Gigabit Ethernet connection to your router and a USB drive for storage, and you’ve got file sharing and media streaming on your home LAN and over the web. There’s the TonidoPlug, the PogoPlug, and the announced-just-yesterday Marvell Plug computer. I don’t know if I’m too easily impressed, but if these things deliver what they promise, then our home network needs just got way cheaper.

I am making a concerted effort to adopt Evernote into my brain.

I really am trying to implement a working GTD system for myself, and a wiki seems potentially very valuable, as I have many different contexts but many of them are related. I would love a wiki I mirrored/synched across iPhone, Mac, and my web space. Probably asking for too much and I don’t have the chops to develop it myself. This is a possibility: Mobile Wiki Server, a $3.99 app for the iPhone; how much of a hassle to sync, though? More on this later.

I want to eat these Two tasty things that Creative Loafing’s Omnivore blog writes about.

Saturday is one of two days a year that Decatur accepts just about any kind of electronics for recycling. We’ve got an old coffee maker that’s missing the carafe, a decrepit PC with a bad power supply, some old big batteries, cell phones, and some other odds and ends. Some of these things are toxic, and we don’t want them in landfills, and we’re very glad Decatur provides this opportunity.

You can probably do this in your town. Search for recycling centers in or near your zip code at Earth911.com.

This seems like a good link to keep around.

The Guide focuses mostly on the federal health privacy rule known as HIPAA. This federal privacy rule establishes a baseline of protection that applies to health care providers and health care insurers throughout the United States. The guide also discusses other federal laws that cover some medical records. This guide does not offer detailed, technical explanations for every provision and every nuance of HIPAA. Instead, this guide concentrates on those parts of HIPAA that will be most helpful to real people. This guide does not offer a review of state law, and you need to know that a stronger state law can provide additional privacy protections.

Taking Greyhound to Savannah to see Ellen. Shes been in south Georgia all week seeing clients in schools and school systems, and ended in Savannah. The forecast includes rain unfortunately, but Savannah in bloom should be lovely anyway. More later….

Edit: removed f@¢&ed up image-embed code; testing a fix now.

Later edit: image file got corrupted and it’s gone. Not a big deal; just me smiling on a bus.
