socnet site of the week: ziki.com (my "ziki").

one very cool feature: builtin feed aggregation that lets you choose the type of content in each feed (post, photo, audio, video, link, event, etc). recent feed items are aggregated by type on your main page so that you can visually differentiate between blog posts, photos, etc. i bet other sites have done this in the past, but i've ignored most of them since friendster, so it's new to me.

i also like that relationships can be created dynamically via tags (show me all the people who have tagged themselves "hiking") as well as by manually adding people to your network or favorites list. i should put a little more effort into tagging myself so that i can get higher fidelity matches. i want all hiking, boozing, metal, comics chicks in san francisco.

GreenCine Daily has an interview today with Graham Leggat, new Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Society. all the talk of a new film center has me wriggling with excitement.

SuicideGirls has an interview with Bill Willingham of the wonderful comic book Fables, which happens to be my favorite title of the last few years. if you've never read a comic before, read this interview and then go pick up the first volume at your local comic shop.

Peter went on a road trip to Ithaca, my old college town, and posted some pictures here. oh the nostalgia. i used to live right up the hill from the Ithaca Gun factory and swam in the gorge that feeds Ithaca Falls. i once hauled a case of warm PBR up to the top of Taughannock Falls for an overnight camping/truth or dare session with a frat buddy and some ΑΟΠ chicks.

big vacation plans this summer:

bro is getting married in Texas in the end of May. i'll visit NYC for a bit after that, then head to Barcelona in the first week of June for Primavera Sound (is that the name?) where Pinky's band is playing (as well as Dinosaur Jr and Motörhead, among others).

after bumming around Spain for a while, i'll hang with Dennis and Aimee in Paris, then head north with them to meet Lamont, Laurel and others in Amsterdam. if my proposal is accepted for ApacheCon Europe, i'll round out the month in Dublin.

my only regret is that i won't be able to stay long enough for Wacken... although Roskilde is still a possibility ... Opeth and Coheed & Cambria are very tempting.
