Not all super current, but I'm trying to clear out some things that have been hanging around for a while.

OSXFAQ: GTK for OS X “GTK+OSX has released a native Macintosh Aqua port of the Linux-based GTK+ open source graphical user interface library.”

IKVM.NET: Eclipse on .NET I'm really impressed by what Jeroen has accomplished. This is a great blog for insights into both Java and .NET.

inessential.com: Baby Boomer Borg "I want to be interested in what Jef Raskin’s working on—but the Baby Boomer Borg picture just puts me right off." Brent is right about the picture, but I probably will have to look at what Jef is doing, though. I downloaded it a while ago, but it appeared to require MacOS 9. That doesn't sound right, so I'll revisit, when I've got a chance.

Salon: Oooh, those lucky duckies. Unbelievable. Sad.

Plastic: John Rawls Would Weep. A Theory of Justice blew me away when I first read it in college, and its influence on my thinking is still considerable. I don't know that I'd bother with the articles on agricultural subsidies, but read the NYT op-ed, if you have a chance.

Understanding Nothing: Playing to Win. I've seen this happen, but it hasn't been clear whether people weren't playing to win or whether they weren't letting everyone in on what game was being played.

intertwingly.net: Nobody expects the spontaneous integration. This merits some deeper consideration, at some point, as it is my experience that--at a certain level--everyone expects the spontaneous integration. (Love the Monty Python allusion, BTW.)

Blogzilla: Copy/Paste Long URLs. Very useful if you're using Mozilla and Outlook.

Palm Infocenter: iambic Releases Agendus 6.0. If you have a Palm device, you should get this app. I've used all prior versions on various Palm devices and even an earlier version on my old Newton.

CNET.com: Market malaise hurting VC returns. "What is...troubling is that the longer 20-year performance for the entire private equity industry is now less than 15 percent, which albeit is higher by a significant amount than public equities, but barely meets the 15 (percent) to 20 percent expected returns that limited partners had when making these investments..." That is just a shame. I hope they can get through it. Maybe we can put in something into the stimulus package for these unfortunates, as well.

So, I'm back at Starbucks with my TiBook. Different Starbucks, different drink (grandé non-fat cappuccino), but given the time spent yesterday cleaning gunk out of my laptops innards, I'm probably shouldn't be taking the chance. It is just too convenient, though. I had a morning meeting and lunch in the same area, and going back home would be a waste of time.
