In what’s becoming an annual tradition, I once again scored some free tickets to Fun Fun Fun Fest this weekend in Waterloo Park (Thanks, Austinist!). I went last year and enjoyed myself despite the cold temperatures. By moving the festival a month earlier, the organizers were rewarded with near perfect weather. In fact, it was a bit on the warm side with temperatures reaching the low to mid 80s in the afternoon.

Two bits of tech-related news from the city on this Friday afternoon:

  1. The city along with Dell (among others) is sponsoring an e-cycling on the north side of Highland Mall tomorrow from 10am to 3pm. You can drop off computers and related accessories and small household electronics (things like cell phones, radios and DVD players, not TVs or microwaves).
  2. The city is also taking input in a redesign of their web site. The survey can be found here (espanol) and you can get more information about the redesign project here. As a side note, the city’s library online catalog recently underwent an update. The Austinist has a review.

A childhood friend of mine, Carl Greenblatt, who’s worked on Spongebob Squarepants and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, has a new show premiering tonight on Cartoon Network
at 6:30pm CDT. It’ll re-run again at 8:30pm as well. If you like either of those shows, you should check this one out. Carl also created and voiced the character Fred Fredburger from Billy and Mandy.

Be careful visiting the Cartoon Network homepage if you use Firefox. The flash animation promoting Chowder has caused Firefox to lock up and peg one of my processors both times that I’ve visited the page today. I’ve had to kill Firefox to get it to stop.
