New Kings of Leon Available on Last.fm
The new Kings of Leon disc, Only By The Night, is available for streaming on Last.fm.
The disc will officially release tomorrow (already ordered my copy from Amazon). After a single listen, my review is a "thumbs-up"

Portland Marathon Goes mp3 Friendly
When we ran the Napa Valley Marathon in March, we had to hide our headphones/iPods, lest they be taken away by race officials. Fortunately, the Portland Marathon has declared themselves to be “MP3 Player Friendly”.
When we run the Portland Marathon in a few weeks, I can let my iPod see the light of day and not spend the race worrying that someone will jump me on the course! (Now if I can just make it over the St. John’s Bridge intact…)

The NFL Streams
The NFL season begins tonight (9/4/2008) with the Giants taking on the Redskins.
What’s so special about that you ask? Well, unlike NBC with the Olympics, the NFL is streaming the entire game LIVE on the web (first time ever). This will be interesting to see how it unfolds – is there a solid revenue model behind streaming? If so, what does it mean for broadcasters/cable?

La Bamba Wins Best Burrito
My all time favorite burrito joint has won a “Best Of” award from the Palo Alto Daily. I’ve been a regular customer since we started iPrint in 1996 and were leasing space from NASA at Moffett Field. It was just a short drive away and way better than the NASA cafeteria food.
Burrito
Now celebrating 20 years of business, this family-owned restaurant is no stranger to the voting public. La Bamba Taqueria serves traditional Mexican and Salvadorian dishes including the famous nearly foot-long burrito. A model of political transparency, you can watch your burrito as it is made, starting with the bare tortilla and finishing with a tightly wrapped totable lunch. No "mystery meat" here! Don't let the long lines fool you, the staff is quick to handle the masses, proving that the concepts of open government and the Palo Alto Process are not mutually exclusive. Lastly, caution with the salsa, it may not look intimidating but boy, does it bite. 2058 Old Middlefield Road, Mountain View; 650-965-2755
Congrats guys!

FriendFeed Widgets
Friendfeed just rolled out several widgets – I’ve embedded the Feed Widget in the sidebar. Out of the box, it is way too big; Ff has exposed the CSS, so hopefully I can shrink things down a bit.
