My brother took this picture last night, with the notation that "elementary school is different than I remember."
Uh, yeah. Apparently. Wow.

From a channel to a network
If you've taken a look at the sidebar, you've probably realized something's up. Yes, it's time for more changes to my blog. Here's a rundown of the basics:
1. Effective immediately, I'm rebranding all of my sites as larandNET. I've realized that what has evolved here is not so much a site as it is a network of sites, and the old model wasn't really holding up very well. The blog page of The Larry Channel will live on as a site within the larandNET network, albeit as an archived site. Both it and Calibuntu will remain within the larryanderson.org domain, at least for now, but all other pages will become subdomains of larand.net, a domain I've owned for the last few years but never did much with. Suddenly, it has a new reason for being.
2. There is a new blog page at blog.larand.net, replacing The Larry Channel. This, however, is not the new home page (see below).
3. The photo page formerly at photos.larryanderson.org is now at photos.larand.net.
4. I am separating my Twitter and Buzz archives. The page formerly located at larryanderson.im now resides at twitter.larand.net and will eventually be exclusively for daily or weekly Twitter digests (there will continue to be old Buzz digests there until I complete the transition). Google Buzz posts will live at (you guessed it) buzz.larand.net.
5. I am discontinuing the use of all other domains for my sites. Country-code top-level domains are fun, but expensive, and there is something to be said for keeping things on the same domain. The audiovisual page formerly located at larryanderson.tv will now live at av.larand.net.
6. Finally, there is a new home page at larand.net (larandNET - Index). This is going to contain daily summary posts directing you to whatever activity has taken place on all of the sites for a given day. It's one-stop shopping--no need to click around to see what's going on. This is the page you should bookmark or subscribe to.
Now that I'm using Google Buzz as my main lifestreaming site, all of this should give me--and you--much more granularity of control over what appears in various places online (and in your subscription stream), avoiding duplication and unwanted material as much as possible. I hope you find it useful, and I welcome your feedback.

Wow, this thing is really taking on a life of its own. Kudos to Эдуард Анатольевич for being a good sport about it all....

Echoes
A courtyard spring day
The sun warm
The ocean breeze cool
The people oblivious
Strange and distant, they do not belong
Interlopers trapped in the now
They cannot hear the past Friends scattered
The courtyard greets me silently
And silently
The music echoes
In memory eternal
The sun warm
The ocean breeze cool
The people oblivious
Strange and distant, they do not belong
Interlopers trapped in the now
They cannot hear the past Friends scattered
The courtyard greets me silently
And silently
The music echoes
In memory eternal

Your tax dollars at work
Based on what I just witnessed fifteen minutes ago, this is what it takes to respond to an injury-accident involving two vehicles and one injured person in Westlake Village:
- Four patrol cars
- One unmarked car (a solid black Crown Vic…who are they kidding?)
- Two motorcycles
- One Sheriff’s Dept. SUV
- One Fire Dept. paramedic truck
- One Fire Dept. fire engine
- One ambulance
Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer

A couple days ago I posted a link to a generic news report. Now how about a generic movie trailer for a generic movie?

This is an experiment to see if Buzz handles video posts any better when I use the Posterous bookmarklet. Apologies for the double post.
Crossing the Berlin border on the S-Bahn (Late 80s)
If you're interested in seeing what it was like crossing the Berlin Wall back in the bad old days, you'll like this. I rode this line back in 1981, and it was always an utterly strange experience--the only place on Earth where two worlds collided in the middle of a city. The S-Bahn, by the way, was owned by the East Berlin authorities, even the portion of it that extended into the West. The cars mostly predated World War II. Enjoy...

A visit with Leo Laporte
Inside Leo Laporte's TWiT Cottage, Petaluma from Jonathan Marks on Vimeo.
For the last five years or so, Leo Laporte's podcasts have kept me sane at work. Here, from Jonathan Marks, is a visit to the TWiT Cottage in Petaluma, California, and a look at how the TWiT crew are turning what was once a one-man operation into an online broadcasting powerhouse.

Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой
If you are not yet convinced that the end of the Soviet Union was a good thing, this ought to do it:
Comments here at BoingBoing will clarify it somewhat, but this defies explanation. Or help.
