scrawl

As I scrawl this entry into my spiffy newTablet PC, I’m struck by how natural keyboards have become. I’d be friggin done with the entry if I didn’t have to stop every so often for the recognizer area to clear so that I can continue scrawling. And yet, there’s something about seeing my words, first […]

Macworld Thursday

We got to Moscone around 9:15 or so. Wil Wheaton was the featured speaker of the day. The line to get in stretched down the hall, past the elevators and the hotspot area. I hadn’t expected so many people to be there, and the sentiment was echoed by a bunch of people. […]

Macworld Wednesday

We actually had a pretty structured plan for today.

We got breakfast at Mel’s Diner on Mission. Got to the convention center around 11. We checked out some more booths, places that had slipped our attention yesterday. Then we went to the MacIT Keynote, which was given by a dude from Genentech. […]

Macworld Tuesday, continued

So, I didn’t get a seat near one of the WiFi stations, and my cellphone did not work to connect.

Anyway, as I’m sure those in the know know, the Mac mini and iPod shuffle were released, as rumored. The Mac mini is amazingly small. I couldn’t believe it. It’s like a 1/2 […]

Macworld Tuesday

I’m typing this with one hand as I stand outside the Keynote room. If wifi holds, maybe I’ll be able to update live throughout… :-)

7:20 AM: I’ve been in line for about an hour and a half. I lucked out because these people were leaving from the hotel at the same time I […]

Macworld Monday

My brother and I left Chicago yesterday for Macworld SF. It’s my first Macworld and I’m pretty excited to see one. This year’s Keynote is supposed to be good (unlike the utterly boring Macworld NY 2001). Also, my brother’s giving a talk on Thursday, so that’s pretty cool.

Anyway, we got to the […]

New phone?

I want a new phone… the down key on my T610 seems to be about to give up the ghost. Here are the candidates:

Motorola V3 (the RAZR). Mmmm, thin. Also a flip phone, so it would protect the buttons / screen. However, unable to work with a href=’http://homepage.mac.com/jonassalling/Shareware/Clicker/’>Salling Clicker or iSync […]

My very own… something?

I really want to put together a program for myself. The last piece of code that was just for me was the PHP app that runs Bull and Bunny. While this venerable piece of code (I call it Clark) has chugged on for about 2 years now with no updates necessary, I think […]

Wordpress, ho!

I have switched to wordpress because I like it better. Yay!

Doing something about it

I got sick and tired of freakin’ spammers clogging up this blog with comment spam… so I got MT-Blacklist. Oh yeah. This guy was pissed enough about comment spam to write a sweet plugin to automatically protect MT blogs from this crap. Oh, and it also reports back new spam reports to […]
