http://www.macosxhints.com/backend/geeklog.rdf This doesn't surprise me. When Bobbie bought her last iMac there was great excitement as we unpacked it. No we didn't invite anyone over, and though we didn't post them on the net, we did take pictures. Ahem. .< 2:32:14 AM  >Bigger Planet - Sputnix: "Sputnix is an unsupported, unofficial "satellite" client for the music sharing website, Audiogalaxy." OS X client for Audiogalaxy .< 2:26:18 AM >Back in the Bloghouse [The Register] A look at weblogs from a writer who's about to start one . . . and who is not a cheerleader for the medium. .< 2:16:44 AM >Apple posts new Tips & Tricks article: "The newest article details how to add a Custom Dictionary to Word; using FireWire Disk Mode with an iPod; Declining Updates in Mac OS X; and adding Additional Mac OS X Users." .< 2:12:11 AM >Interview | Interviews: David Pogue RespondsWe asked David Pogue to answer some questions that you submitted last month. A fine interview with a great technology writer. .< 1:54:11 AM >Judge bangs gavel on Bush-Cheney stonewalling. Environmentalists cheer, expect to find dirty laundry list of corporate polluters in secret energy plan documents. [Salon.com] .< 1:52:42 AM >Salon.com News | The meaning of Ari's blunder: "How could Fleischer, an apparently intelligent man, have screwed up so badly? The answer seems clear. Fleischer's statement has all the hallmarks of being what Bush officials actually believe, and say when they're in private. Fleischer had simply sat in on one too many briefings where Cheney or Condee or maybe even George himself had trashed Clinton's Middle East diplomacy in just those words, and he suddenly spouted out what he'd been he'aring for months." Is this 'Salon journalism? This reminds me of the Enron story they ran recently. It's not based on facts. It's pure speculation. I enjoy reading it but the reader has to be on gaurd. Would this stuff fly in a print journal? .< 1:45:42 AM >Bushed!. You can pin a lot on Osama bin Laden, Mr. President, but not the soaring debts you've stuck us with. [Salon.com] Nor should you use him as an excuse to drill for oil in Alaska. .< 1:37:21 AM >O'Reilly Network: Jon Udell: Radio UserLand 8.0 Is a Lab for Group-Forming [Mar. 01, 2002] But a great many of us are busily trying to create shared knowledge -- within small workgroups, within departments and divisions of companies, and in the world at large. What I now hope to achieve with Radio and software like it is exactly what I used to think I'd achieve with mail/news clients and servers: the ability to collaborate in many communities using the tools of hypertext, indexing, search, and cross-referencing. Two very important quotes from an article which is not so much a review of Radio but a discussion of the possibilities it creates. Do you see that first paragraph? BINGO! This where I want to live. .< 1:24:50 AM >Top ten technology innovators: Dave Winer Widely acclaimed, the new version of Radio, a desktop Weblog tool, represents the latest step in a long journey. .< 1:19:25 AM >InfoWorld names their top innovators for 2002. Check this out. I'm one 'em! Nice. What a day. Thanks!  [Scripting News]Congrats Dave. No question. You deserve to be there. Thanks for the great software. .< 1:17:52 AM >A List Apart: Build a Cross-Platform Web Design Testing Station. [mac.scripting.com] Build and run that testing platfrom on a Mac. .< 1:06:25 AM >I'm cleaning out my INBOX today. It really is a shame that all these folks don't have an "rss" feed I can subscribe to. They send me so much kewl stuff. Unfortunately much of it rots in my mail until I bite the bullet like today. Erik ten Have sent me a pointer to the highly interactive flash piece displaying WindowsRG Enjoy! [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog] Hey everybody. Try this out. Quite funny. Even Mac users can run this version of Windows! Requires Flash. Be sure to try out everything. .< 12:52:11 AM >Thestar.com/Canada sends jets in terror scare: "The rules of engagement for Canada have changed drastically under NORAD since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. On such escort missions, the Canadian fighter jets can be ordered to fire their missiles to shoot down a passenger jet if a terrorist threat is confirmed. Scott Johnson of NORAD command in Colorado Springs, Colo., said last night more than 270 such missions have been flown by U.S. fighter jets since Sept. 11, but yesterday's scramble was believed to be the first involving Canadian fighters." Jesus. No wonder rail traffic is up. Who wants to look out their window on a flight, see a couple fighter jets and wonder if they're going to be taken out. |
