A wonderful piece of music is playing in the iPod this morning. La Sonnerie de Sainte-Genevieve du Mont de Paris by Marin Marais. I have two versions - a lovely LP (Le Parnasse Farancais with the Musica Antiqua Koln on Archiv 2533 408) and an even better DAT of a live performance that I went to years ago at Oberlin. I managed to transcribe this and convert it to aac, so it is on my Mac rather than my iPod. 6:43:54 AM     Speaking of the iPod, Griffin Technology announced an object of desire for owners of the little music box. Thirty Five dollars for an FM transmitter is a bit steep, but if this one works half as well as it looks, it is a steal. You suffer a big drop in quality using a broadcast FM signal, but in a car that may not be a big deal. 6:43:12 AM     Apple's new Safari browser - or, more correctly its use of open source - is creating quite a bit of commentary. This could be very interesting. Some interesting links include review and bug list Applescripts for Safari 6:42:10 AM     Fernando has pointed out that there are issues with using Apple's Keynote for technical presentations and outlines some workarounds. Of course it would be much nicer if Keynote included a good equation editor in the first place. 6:41:42 AM     NPR ran several great segments on the Sunday evening show. If you didn't get a chance to listen try: Selig Harrison has been deeply involved with North Korea over the years. He suggests the Clinton administration didn't follow through on agreements and the Bush administration is downright foolhardy. The new special interest position in the current Congress. sigh... What the car companies have found about SUV drivers. SUV drivers, by industry supported market research, indicates the SUV crowd isn't the most moral group in the world. 6:41:01 AM
