Blogging out loud 
| | Mike is going deep again, this time about thinking & blogging. |
| | English is the preacher's language, because it allows you to talk until you think of what to say. |
Dept. of Applied Generica
| | Not speaking of which, the America Strikes Back story is getting stale, for the simple reason that the bad guys are either AWOL or no longer putting up a fight. I see the ASB title is gone from the MSNBC (link above) and CNN sites, even though they're still tops on Google's ASB heap. I just noticed that Dack's page is #5. What'll it be after Google's bot crawls toay's blog? Betcha it hits #3 soon in any case. |
| | Speaking less of which, when did Reginald Whassis become Sir Elton John? Man, I am completely out of it. Good thing, too. |
National insecurity
| | Apparently something Prez Bush did is pissing off the union folks and getting approximately zero news coverage. Doesn't fit the Attack on America/America Strikes Back template, I guess. |
Your panic may vary
| | Dave Ely at Ztuff has more trouble than I do in OS X. We seem to have roughly the same desktop, a dual-processor G4/500. Also the same laptop: my other one, now my wife's, is a Lombard (G3/400, black, fine machine). I do all my heavy work on the Titanium, though. Not too many peripherals on the desktop, which mostly plays a storage/server/backup role. |
| | I see he's also into old time radio, which anomalously radiates every evening from KNX/1070 from Los Angeles, which otherwise devotes its entire schedule to news. |
| | Since KNX covers the whole Southwest at night, you might be in a position to check out the show Dave talks about. It runs from 9-10pm. |
Wow
| | Don Norman likes the iMac. "It's a brilliant design," he says. This is non-trivial. Don is the world's leading scourge of bad design — especially of personal computers. |
A dog named sue
| | Craig thinks AOL's suit against Microsoft is the opposite of innovative: |
| | Innovation is the only way to compete effectively. Litigation=desperation. |
| | About AOL's second-most-famous acquisition, he says — |
| | Netscape's most significant contribution to the marketplace was not the browser itself, but the services that it provided access to. The only play Netscape had--and they really really did have it—was in selling services infrastructure. |
