Salon has an interview with the head dude at TiVO.
BBEdit 6.0 was released this afternoon.
In an effort to get everything in my home hooked up to my high speed Internet connection, I picked up this Linksys router. I agree with the review, dead simple and it works great.
I had a chance to check out the new Sony Palm OS handheld. I wasn’t all that impressed. It didn’t feel very natural in my hand. The lack of Mac OS support is surprising considering that every other Palm based device offers it.
Somehow, I had forgotten about Everything.
From the “always taking it to the next level” category, the Beastie Boys are releasing a 2 DISC DVD Video Anthology on October 10th which allows you to watch 18 of their videos with different angles and mixes. It’s on order, of course.
Davezilla is funny and well designed.
I’m re-reading Lord Foul’s Bane, which I hadn’t read since I was in high school. It’s different from most Fantasy books in that there is a rich and deep sub-text about the main character’s battle with leprosy that is inextricably linked to his behavior in the book. If you like Fantasy and haven’t read this series, you should get on it. I love re-reading books at different times in my life. It leads to picking out different things, and learning different things from the same book. How my imagination drew the characters ten years ago and how it draws them now are different.
I went shopping in Boston yesterday and bought some neat looking Gravis shoes. Pretty good Flash site too. The shoes are really comfortable. It’s not, for you gamers, the same company that made your joystick.
Damn, Kozmo is out of everything I want. Must have been a long weekend for them.
3 days to the Mac OS X beta.
Dave hangin out with Chuck D? So weird to me to have two people that have had so much influence on me communicating. Public Enemy’s music had a profound effect on me, but I haven’t listened to any of the new stuff.
I’m watching BattleBots. They destroy each other. For some reason, I love it.
/caffemocha put up a new version of their site while I was out of town.
Waiting for that new k10k to be launched tomorrow.
I did manage to get into the Red Sox/Yankees game last night, and got to see Roger Clemens, and my Yankees, beat Boston handily. Here’s the ESPN recap of the game, which features a picture of the results of the scariest moment of the night, when Boston pitcher Bryce Florie was drilled in the face by a comebacker line drive. The entire stadium went from loud and crazy to silent in that moment. The Yanks beat them again today.
There were many more Yankee hats and shirts in Boston than vice versa.(I saw the two teams play in the Bronx in May.) It seemed a lot safer for those people than the people I saw in New York with Red Sox hats etc... The game was a great time.
I’m still in Boston, and will be returning to Atlanta tomorrow. The XML World show was pretty good, despite my getting sick on the second day and being kind of laid up for 24 hours as a result. There is so much happening with XML so rapidly right now that I don’t think anyone can easily have a handle on everything. I was a little dissapointed to find that some of the major players weren’t at this show, but IBM and some of the other big players that were here didn’t dissapoint. The one SOAP session today was canceled at the last moment, which was a huge dissapointment. Tonight, I’m going to make my second trip to Fenway Park this week to try and see the Yankees, with the Rocket on the mound, play the Red Sox.
Rebecca’s newest essay effort weblogs: a history and perspective is a fantastic overview of the form with some great perspective and analysis.
Here’s a review of Compaq’s iPAQ PocketPC found via Scripting News. Could it be that this is the end of my love affair with the Palm OS? Probably not, as there is no Mac support for the iPaq. I don’t like lock in.
An Excellent Bookmarklets tutorial.
This is a demonstration post.
I should have pointed to this excellent article when I originally read it, but somehow it slipped my mind. Check out Style vs. Design by Grandmaster Zeldman.
