NBC Today Show Coverage of Olympic Steam
NBC's Today Show web site indicates that a piece on "Utah's Heber Valley Railroad" will air on Thursday, Feb14 at 07:00 Eastern Standard Time. The show is broadcast live from the Olympics in Salt Lake City. NBC may use tape of Heber Valley Railroad 2-8-0, an ex-Union Pacific 618 double heading with Nevada Northern Railway 2-8-0 93, that they filmed earlier for this purpose.

>Cringely claims passive antennas up in the old oak tree connect his fortress of arrogance with Santa Rosa, while Flickenger politely dissents and invites Cringely to speak: Cringely's article is about using two connected, unpowered yagi antennas on a nearby mountain top to relay his Wi-Fi signal from his own high mountain aerie to a wISP in Santa Rosa. (Fortress of arrogance is a tip to Dr. Science, and is only a slight exaggeration given Cringely.) Flickenger dissents, wondering how Cringely has outsmarted (with insufficient detail) the brightest or at least hardest-working minds in rock, roll, and community Wi-Fi. Worth reading both halves of the story. Hey, Bob: let slip the secrets! [80211b News]comments < 7:32:12 PM

>Bill Bumgarner has been doing some kickass stuff for Radio on Mac OS X. "Now I can post to Radio from any application that has Services. I can take advantage of the spell/grammar checker in Word. Use Project Builder's code formatter. Edit Tables and other HTML markup via WebObjects Builder. Easily post the output of a command in the terminal."  [Scripting News]comments < 7:31:21 PM
>Linux users can play and author MP4 files. QT 6 will be good for Linux users because Linux users can play and author MP4 files. It's author anywhere, view anywhere. [Hack the Planet] comments < 7:31:07 PM
>QuickTime 6. As expected, today Apple announced QuickTime 6 and QuickTime Broadcaster. Unfortunately, my fears were also realized; Apple isn't shipping QT 6 because they object to the use fee in the MPEG-4 patent license. In fact, it appears that the only party happy with the licensing terms is the MPEG LA. [Hack the Planet] comments < 7:30:58 PM
