There really is a ton of stuff here. .< 11:08:26 PM  >Dan Gillmor on Apple's iCal: "Give me a break. This is even more beta-ish than the OS update."  [Scripting News]iCal's getting trashed pretty severely. I've installed it but haven't bothered to put any data in it yet. Think I'll wait for un update. .< 11:05:33 PM >Key 11 September suspect arrested. Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged mastermind of the 11 September attacks, is arrested in Pakistan. [BBC News | WORLD] It's so nice to have a non-American news source. It's 11-9, not 9-11. ;-] .< 10:58:49 PM >NHL hockey season schedule for iCal [The Macintosh News Network] .< 7:06:00 PM >Amazon.com: buying info: Apple Computer M7600LL/D AirPort Card: "I love Apple stuff but $299 for their Airport Base Station is just a bit too pricey for me." Some tips on using a non-Apple base station. .< 3:09:13 PM >CNN.com - Military pilots charged in Afghan bombing - September 13, 2002 Citing a "fundamental lack of flight discipline," the Air Force Friday charged two Illinois Air National Guard pilots with involuntary manslaughter and assault for their role in the fatal accidental bombing of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan this past spring. .< 2:39:33 PM >Two U.S. pilots charged in deaths of Canadian soldiers Two American pilots involved in the fatal bombing of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan last April have been charged with criminal offences. [CBC News]"Both pilots also face counts relating to the improper firing of weapons. Schmidt failed to exercise appropriate flight discipline and did not comply with the rules for firing weapons. Umbach failed to maintain control and failed to ensure compliance with rules for firing weapons." Cowboys. So the pilots did not comply with the rules of engagement. But why did this ever become an issue? Who further up the chain of command failed to brief the pilots (scapegoats?) on the training excercise? .< 2:33:12 PM >Pilots charged over 'friendly fire' deaths. Two US F-16 pilots are accused of manslaughter for mistakenly killing four Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. [BBC News | WORLD] Yes! .< 2:31:16 PM >Gateway Adds AudioCube 5 System Portland, ME (September 13, 2002)--Mastering facility Gateway Mastering & DVD has purchased a Cube-Tec AudioCube 5 multichannel workstation for immediate installation. The Gateway AudioCube is configured to support multiple applications, including DVD-A authoring (CubeDVD-A), CD mastering, restoration and multichannel DSD mastering. [ProSound News] I was at an AES Convention in NYC three years ago when Bob came up to me asking me if I'd see the AudioCube. He was very excited about it and wanted to know what I thought. [I'm ashamed to say I still haven't had a look at it!] A while later I heard that the AudioCube didn't have a proper editor which made it a non-starter for me, and Bob I suppose. Things have obviously improved and finally Bob's a happy owner. .< 1:32:37 PM >Citing a "Digidesign source", MacMusic offers some details and speculation about an upcoming Protools 6 release, which apparently is due at the end of November for Mac OS X, with an "LE" version to follow. [Macintouch] Big news. Man am I jealous. Come on, Sonic! .< 1:29:10 PM >An Apple Knowledge Base article talks about using iPods for Audible content [Macintouch] .< 1:24:33 PM >Pittsburgh SO could be facing bankruptcy Falling stock markets and weakening economic conditions have made matters worse [Gramophone - News] .< 1:22:32 PM >Of course the big opportunity for AOL is the vast music collection of Time-Warner. Publish low-rez scans of the music. Let me download them to a local computer system via AOL-Broadband. Monthly fee to participate. All the music I want. If I play the music using WinAmp, I get a one-click way to order the high-rez CD via snail mail. A way to make huge bucks on the libraries that aren't making any money. [Scripting News] It's so obvious. But of course I want to be able to buy hi-res versions of the audio! .< 1:19:16 PM >Wednesday, September 11 1:10 AM. The TV gets turned off now and will remain off for 22 hours or so. [More...] [Andy Ihnatko's YellowText] Excellent. Andy was thinking ahead, unlike me. .< 1:14:05 PM >Friday, September 13 12:03 AM. What's the absolute ultimate in peer-to-peer music sharing technology? Swapping iPods with somebody for a while. It's like being at a party and spending some time at the bookcase next to the stereo with your head crooked at a 90-degree angle, trying to figure out your host's overall taste in music...with the critical exception that you can load the whole smash into the trunk of your car and drive off. [More...] [Andy Ihnatko's YellowText] I subscribed to Andy's feed the instant I found out about it. This guy is funny! I read him in MacWorld for a while. He's brilliant. The kind of freewheeling humour you expect from a Robin Williams. One day I read something in a PC mag. It's "Andy" writer, the one who lightens things up, was just bloody awful. His 'humour' was mean-spirited and juvenile. Not witty at all. I thought to myself that here was another example of how the Mac and PC worlds are soooo different. .< 1:06:27 PM >Andy Ihnatko on RSS. Andy writes, “RSS is one of those Really Cool Things that’s Just Starting To Go Big. It’s slick and it’s fairly sophisticated: your website can essentially ‘syndicate’ parts of its content to millions of client apps. That’s a ridiculous amount of cool.” [ranchero.com] Those of us in Radio land have been hip to this for some time. .< 12:55:50 PM >Lance asks why there is no debate on war in Iraq in the US. Good question. I'll do my part. I'm in the US. I am against the US going to war with Iraq. [Scripting News]Thank you Dave .< 12:41:46 PM >First ever smiley found, preserved for posterity.

Convention Center and AES Convention). [ProSound News] .< 2:12:07 AM >Radio UserLand : Re: RUL devours my CPU: "Here are some things to check" Gotta read this. .< 1:54:35 AM >Giving Peace a Chance, Again.
