Well it’s official…I live in a cave.

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

Until today, I had no idea who Natalee Holloway is. According to an old Kuro5hin article, this means I live in a cave.

Adobe Flash Player 8.5b1

Friday, April 21st, 2006

If you have a Macintosh, don’t install Adobe Flash Player beta (formerly Macromedia Flash).
It will crash Safari (and other applications that use the entire WebKit like DEVONthink) after my Powerbook (Mac OS X 10.4.6) wakes from sleep.

Considering an entry level camera

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

I received an e-mail today about a new camera purchase. Here is an excerpt:
About the camera stuff, I am in the market for a “prosumer” digital camera and considering the Canon Rebel XT (350D). I think it’s quite a bit lower level than the D70 but do you have any thoughts on the camera [...]

Immigrants are the new gay

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Conservative blogger, John Cole, has an insightful article on immigration being the new wedge issue for the midterm elections.
It is weird because I thought that this was an issue that would just backfire against the Republicans. Hispanics, after all, are not voting “traditionally democrat” anymore than Catholics are (I believe the numbers in the last [...]

Forbes Field Forever

Friday, April 14th, 2006

Today, I saw a poster next to Michael Rowley’s desk and I asked if any of the baseball fanatics at Plaxo knew which stadium it was of.
Nobody did.

I mentioned that I thought that it looked like Forbes Field to me. Given what I remember of the remains of it (the right field wall and home [...]

Overheard today:

Aperture 1.1 out

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Aperture 1.1 was released as a free update today. If you own Aperture, see Software Update. (My comments about it are here.)
In my original review of Aperture, the only real complaint I had was the price, which was too close to PhaseOne CaptureOne. I felt that Apple should undercut them like Final Cut Pro did [...]

A difference of one letter

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Redgee likes to joke that his relatives are all in jail or the military. He told me a few months ago that he heard from them that they are being told to gear up for a war in Iran. Now with a recent New Yorker article I read, this rumor is getting some play in [...]
