Happy 4th of July! Here’s what to do in Philadelphia today
I’m not in Philadelphia this weekend – got out of town! For those in the area and enjoying the city, here’s some links on how to take part in the biggest Independence Day celebration in America.
You read that right. Philadelphia has the biggest Independence Day celebration. It is the birthplace and we’ve got Independence Hall. Fireworks are launched behind the Philadelphia Art Museum over the Schuylkill River.
This year the concert on the Ben Franklin Parkway, at the base of the Art Museum steps, is headlined by five time Grammy winner, John Legend.

Audiobooks for the courageous
I wrote a quick note a few days ago about Roz Savage and her efforts to cross the Pacific Ocean on a row boat (she’s doing quite well and just wrote her day 39 entry). It’s an extremely cool adventure.
Since then I’ve been catching the daily entry on the blog at http://rozsavage.com/blog/. Something pretty cool has surfaced in her writing, at least to me… Audiobooks! She’s got an iPod with 300+ audiobooks and has been commenting on them along the way (check out day 38, day 19, day 9, day 4, etc).
She’s generating podcasts with Leo Laporte as well.
FriendFeed’s response about del.icio.us feeds not updating
Ross Miller at FriendFeed responded to my question about FriendFeed del.icio.us feeds not updating. It seems del.icio.us is blocking mass spidering of their site.
Ross’s email:
“Hi Sol, del.icio.us places restraints on our ability to crawl their site. So if for some reason the item is missed, it becomes very hard for us to retrieve the del.icio.us link. Unfortunately for now the refresh button is your best option when this happens. Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to get this resolved with del.icio.us soon.”
Looks like this is a restriction on del.icio.us’s end.
Heading to Montana
Galina and I are heading to Bozeman, Montana for a family reunion in a couple days. Family will be flying in from all over the place… Some from Florida, a large portion from California (my home state), and obviously some in Montana.
Should be a gorgeous locale for the 4th of July weekend!
