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 […]
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 […]
I’d buy an iPod Phone if it really existed (via The Cult of Mac Blog): The iPod phone: another great idea from Isamu Sanada, the great fantasy Mac designer.

Eric Meyer’s bluetooth module was acting up: So I just noticed that my PowerBook no longer realizes that it has a Bluetooth module installed.

Occasionally one will be surfing browsing the web (or, for that matter, walking down the street in, say, Tulsa), and will be pleasantly surprised by a familiar face in an unexpected place. That’s my old powerbook that I used at PA.net on the right in that photo! I can tell because it’s got all that […]
I express my disappointment over the design Apple’s new iMac G5.
I buy a new computer.
This staircase in the new San Francisco Apple Store is pretty cool.
It’s dizzying how fast technology becomes obsolete. Not just in-and-of-itself, mind you. As if it weren’t enough that the size and shape of the connectors on the back change from year to year, certain gadgets become unfashionable long before their analog counterparts would. For example, in the days when rewritable CDs were just becoming ubiquitous […]
