I’ve had The Album Leaf in heavy rotation for the past few weeks. If you live in the SF Bay Area, check them out at Mezzanine on Saturday (I will be there). If you haven’t heard them before, think Sigur Ros with some beats and piano mixed in. Go here for a good profile and some mp3 goodness.

I was at the Yahoo campus a couple of nights ago for the del.icio.us party. They have a cool shadow wall set up near the cafeteria. If you walk by the wall, your shadow is recorded and it appears on the wall as part of a mosaic of moving shadows. We decided to have some fun with it. Take a look at the shadows on the lower right…

  Well that took a while. The Dow recorded a record high today. The previous high was set on Jan 14, 2000.

I am a huge fan of del.icio.us, so I decided to check out their millionth user / birthday bash at the Yahoo campus (many photos here). I had a chance to briefly chat with Stephen Hood (a product manager at del.icio.us), Les Orchard (del.icio.us engineer), Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield, Salim Ismail (co-founder of PubSub), and Jeremiah Owyang.
