LinkedIn's Page just for Ryan Price

A bit like ClaimID, I suppose, but less explicit. gather all the profiles we know named Ryan Price so you can browse by city and job title. Now there are a lot more guys named Ryan Price than even I thought (and that's just on LinkedIn).

Dave Winer has been complaining for weeks about his new MacBook randomly shutting down. Leo, Merlin, Alex and the gang over at MacBreak Weekly have been talking about mooing. Apparently the MacBook Pro doesn't have these problems. I'm glad I spent the extra dough.
