Keynote and Perl: "Keynote's presentation format is XML [...] Clearly, the only sane thing to do would be to autogenerate slides for each core module, with each slide having the module name as title, the module description, and the synopsis. So I hack up some code with File::Find::Rule and Pod::POM, build a small presentation which displays a module how I want, dig into the XML code produced, and glue it all together with Template Toolkit."

Apple's Big 12-Inch: "It's not often Apple can claim to have the best value in computers, especially when one compares the price of an Apple to the price of a PC. But it seems that lately Apple has been working at jamming its laptops full of goodies, while at the same time decreasing the price -- and weight -- to make them less expensive than similarly equipped PCs. It's odd, but true." (TechTV via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]
