  1. Chris Anderson was on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday to talk about "Free". He sounded more sensible than Gladwell implied in his famous review.
  2. Since the iPhone 3GS came out, my 3G has felt considerably more slippery in my hands. Like it wants to fall to the ground, hard.
  3. So many Hawaii pictures to sort through, so little time.
  4. Maybe the real issue with netbooks/tablets is how much wireless (non-wifi) access will cost. The answer can't be $80 a month.
  5. Coming in 2010: Chrome OS on a Taiwanese netbook vs Apple tablet. My inner geek likes the former, my not-so-inner consumer loves the latter.
  6. Back to the regularly scheduled program.
  7. Landed in Honolulu. Long, relaxing weekend ahead.
  8. Frantically trying to remember why we needed XHTML 2.0 in the first place, drawing a blank.
  9. BART surcharge for trips to SFO is now $4 (was $1.50).
  10. Instructive to compare the no-frills use of Django in Rietveld with app-engine-patch.
  11. Back to my Django machinations. GAEUnit, check.
  12. "Installing Update Rollup for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP" -- WTF?
  13. Must upgrade the legendary Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool before installing IE 8. I guess the upgrade redefines "malicious".
  14. With all the recent conferences/travel, I'd been putting off upgrading to VMware Fusion 2.0.x for way too long. Works like a charm.
  15. Expense reporting fail. I found a credit card charge marked as being -26 days old.
  16. @psd "A tennis circus of standards representatives were then dispatched to trot the globe"? It sounds so glamorous! http://bit.ly/NyzBF
  17. I do like the "Add Hudson Instance" command in NetBeans 6.7 (it's on the "Services" tab).
  18. The Scrapbook extension doesn't work in Firefox 3.5.
  19. In the news this morning: trains derailing, bombs getting off, planes falling. I've gotta stop reading the news.
  20. What happens when you build an iPhone business app with the worst of Flash in mind? E*Trade Mobile Pro.
