Live Jazz at Gio

After a hiatus of more than two years, except for a duo gig a little over a year ago, the jazz trio I’ve been playing with on and off for almost ten years now is entering an “on” phase.

If you are in the San Diego area and looking to hear some live jazz, a great place will be the newly opened Gio Restaurant in La Mesa. We’ll be playing this Saturday, August 16 from 6:00pm – 10:00pm.

We’ll be playing mostly standards, and possibly some originals. Looks like this should be a fairly regular thing, although the night might not always be the same. I’ll get a regular schedule going here, or check the So What schedule for future dates.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go practice.

Google Updates (Fixes) Mobile Reader

Well, mostly fixes my issue

Although going to the www.google.com/reader/m on my N95 still redirects to the iPhone version, www.google.com/reader/i, the iPhone version now contains a settings page that allows external pages to be reformatted for better display in a mobile browser.

Much better. I still prefer the /m version of the mobile reader over the /i version, but as long as I don’t have to wait for the bloated ad heavy external pages to load in the mobile browser I’m pretty happy. The mobile version of Google Reader is usable for me again.

Update (September 23, 2008): Google has removed the redirect from /reader/m to /reader/i for both iPhone and Series 60 users (N95 and other Nokia smart phones). I am happily using the old /m interface again.
