The gallery for Behind the Curtain has been posted. Unfortunately, my attempt at recording my day was blasted out of the water by circumstances beyond my control.

Need a copy of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden for your Palm OS device?

My copy of the Mac OS X beta arrived yesterday. While I’m sure I’ll end up writing a much longer piece with overall impressions and some detailed information for you techies, my first impressions were powerful ones. I installed it on my G3 Powerbook and on a Blue and White G3 tower yesterday. Installation is easy as pie. The Aqua interface didn’t annoy me as much as I thought. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the Classic(read legacy) Mac OS environment to work properly, but it was the fault of extensions that communicate directly with hardware. It’s seems very powerful, and it works. By the time this thing gets to market, it’s going to be a juggernaut.

I’ve been ripping all of my CD’s to MP3 over the last few weeks. When you have as many CD’s as I have, this isn’t a trivial task. I estimate that I will have ripped everything by this time next year, when other, higher quality formats start stealing MP3’s thunder.

I’ve, of course, obtained a copy of the new Radiohead album, Kid A. It’s brilliant. It’s a fitting follow up to OK Computer. You should be at the music store on October 3rd to buy it. I will be. You can find more information at Follow Me Around too.

I finally sent Heather a picture which is now posted on Jezebel’s Mirror.

Ouch, just had a deep teeth cleaning done.

Dr. Dobb’s MacintoshDeveloper.com is a new Mac developer site with some great content already.

I just spent some time downloading the entire new Smashing Pumpkins album from www.billy-corgan.net. I think it’s interesting that I don’t know if this is legal or not. Is it?

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.
