This will be huge. Foolproof authentication is going to happen, and it looks like it's being beta tested in the third world. There are many troubling aspects of this, but...the genie's out of the bottle. Get ready to have your eyes scanned, everywhere, soon. comment []9:18:13 AM

That being said, here's some gear I do want. Cool and practical. If they'll just make one for the v60i. CashnCarrion has to be one of the best names for an online store - I really like The Register. comment []8:18:42 AM

Gartner slams 3G navel gazing. It's the consumers, stupid [The Register] One more reason why WiFi will grow much faster than cellular 3G the next 2 years. I for one am not willing to pay big $ to bring Internet "pages" to my 1"x2" cell phone screen. Finally, gear I can resist! comment []8:12:41 AM

It seems that the GOP won almost everything worth winning in last night's elections. Not surprising, as I imagine there's a post-911 effect in play, swinging just a few Democrats due to worries about security and terrorism. But now the real worry is a President who is way too eager to go to war, aligned with a GOP-controlled Senate and House. I'm a big believer in constructive conflict, creative tension - and we've just lost that for at least two years. How will the minority voice get heard? In better election news, my friend Matt has a good geek story about online election results. And yes, I do have a TN3270 emulator on my laptop (though I haven't had occasion to use it for a while). comment []7:11:24 AM
