NetNewsWire Improvements

NetNewsWire needs to have a rating system, similar to iTunes. I want to be able to prefer some feeds over others, to have them shoot to the top, or use some other method of distinguishing the latest post on my fiancĂ©e’s weblog (which I want to be sure to read) from the dozen daily entries […]

Moving again

Tomorrow I’m moving again. No, the engagement between Jennifer and I hasn’t dissolved and I’m not moving back north in a huff. I’m just moving to a new apartment. One with more than one room. It’s pretty nice. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is in a very nice apartment complex 10 minutes […]

QTVR panorama of my apartment

Paulo linked to AutoStitch, a technology demo of a revolutionary new automatic photo stiching system. I thought I’d try it out with some photos I’d taken a while ago of my apartment interior. You can see the results here: JPG version, QTVR version.

Haiku IM fun

Tim was all proud of himself for composing a haiku away message: I have Time to kill- What ever shall I do now? Play some basketball. So I countered with my own: My work is postponed. Sitting at the computer I am eating lunch. And the following conversation ensued (edited for punctuation and IM line […]

Book Meme

Meme’d by the lovely Aelki. One can never have too many books (much like toilet paper). Number of books I own: Well, there are 220 on the two shelves pictured (not counting the books in the reflection). I have a bunch more in boxes, and five more are sitting on my desk right now. See […]

On my way back

Free wi-fi in the Greenville-Spartanburg airport terminal .. nice!

The most helpful error message in the world

My cable internet won’t be installed until Monday afternoon, so I’ve been plodding along with a reluctantly purchased AOL account. (No, it’s not free anymore … I signed up several months ago after I began traveling.) AOL’s Mac software seems to be insanely buggy and unpolished. I can only start the AOL application half the […]

Christmas lights scam

Apparently, there’s this guy who went to great elaborate lengths to pretend that his Christmas lights could be turned on and off from his website. For him the thrill must have been in the hoax, which not only involved taking and preparing photos, but including the neighbors and fooling the press (who showed up asking […]

Airport Express

I got an Airport Express yesterday. I almost picked one up when Jennifer and I were at the Apple Store on Saturday, but balked at the price until I looked up other 802.11g routers on Froogle. Good ones all seem to be around the $90-100 price point. And, I told myself, I’d wanted one for […]

Google auto-complete

Google is so cool. Guy alerted me to this new feature, which guesses what you’re searching for before you finish typing it. Kind of like a Segway sensing where you want to go today before you even think it. Another step in the journey to a direct-yet-wireless interface to your brain. (Not really … it’s […]
