From the Same-Old-Tunes Dept: Radio: Where's the Diversity?. [Wired News] Yup. I'm sick of listening to music from 1995. Even the music from 2002 sounds like its from 1995. Except that boy/girl band stuff. That really doesn't sound like anything attractive at all - at least, to me. |

From the Saved-Me-Some-Time Dept: Setting up mysql on OS X Apple Excellent! |
|
From the Surfs-Up Dept: Confessions of a Mozillian. Dave Hyatt is an engineer at Apple currently working on Safari. A way cool blog if you're into the technical side of HTML/CSS. TLA Soup otherwise, really. Today I subscribed to three more RSS feeds, and I wasn't even explicitly blog-surfing. When I do blog-surf, I find little or nothing interesting. Oh well. |
|
From the Blog-World Dept: Very very interesting. Especially since I haven't found a way to get Radio to give you good hit stats. |

From the At-Least-The-Finder-Worked-Well Dept: Macworld: Even Woz still uses Mac OS 9. [InfoWorld: Top News] Woz does raise a good point: moving to OS X is expensive. The upgrades for the OS, and then the upgrades for every single application you run. Youch. I guess I was lucky in that I don't need a great variety of applications for my day-to-day needs. And that, as an Apple Developer, I got most of those system updates for free! |

From the Nemesis Dept: Saw Nemesis tonight, at the local theater. Was $3.50 night, so figured on some cheap entertainment. It was ok. Some major plot holes (how did Data get on the Romulan ship, the first time? And how did the ship get back to Earth with no Warp Drives?) And there were 2 or 3 scenes where I wished they would just shut up! And noticed a fair bit of gray hair on Riker. But it was cool that my sister and I had the whole theater room to ourselves. (I'm glad she came -- I would have felt really stupid if it was just me) Read More About It |

From the It's-All-True Dept: A song about a certain technical institute. It's even funnier when you've been through all of that. Also in mp3. (Although I haven't listened to the mp3 yet.) |

From the Feed-The-Animals Dept A review of Apple's new browser, Safari, for web designers who need to support it.[dive into mark] What works, what doesn't, and how fun updating your pages could be... |
|
From the Circle-Time Dept: John Gruber's latest O'Reilly's Mac DevCenter article: "Scripting rectangular selections in BBEdit 7". |
|
From the Wild-Kingdom Dept: Itried using Safari to post this entry. I tried it earlier today and it appeared really snappy. However, trying to use Radio it was unresponsive (for example, clicking the "Post To Weblog" button didn't actually do anything). Not sure what's up with that... We were kind of wondering if Steve (Jobs) was presenting cached pages during his Macworld Expo Keynote Presentation, but then Steve started clicking on random stuff at amazon.com - then we knew it was for real. Other people have covered the expo better then I have, but I did walk away with a new term: narrow-band. Makes perfect sense. Thank you, Steve. |
