Today's blog
Psst! Wanna know why gossip outbuzzes buzz? 
| | Read this. Sometimes I think my words are but logs in Marek's fireplace. |
| | Not speaking of which, check out all the different themes here. |
| | That list also contains some pretty fucking good blogs. |
| | Speaking of which, Kevin has a good essay by about fucking your television. He also pushes back a bit on Marek right here. |
Hasta luego
Nothing impersonal
| | Dig JD's latest, on personalization, among other things. I'd tell ya more, but I'm outa time. Just go there. |
Woe-Fi? Hope not.
| | By the way, does anybody know if there's an 802.11b card that will work in a Mac Powerbook G3/400? How about one for a G3/333 desktop? I'll need cards for both to put those boxen on a Wi-Fi network in our house. Both have standard backplanes (PCMCIA and PCI, respectively), but drivers are the issue, it would seem. Somebody last night told me that some cards for PC laptops would work on the PowerBook, but I'm not so sure. Airport drivers that come with Sys 9.1 and OS X seem to care only about airport cards, which only come for the iBook and Titanium, far as I know (which isn't nearly far enough). |
Field of beans
| | When I read what Glenn is writing about Starbucks' apparently clueless approach to deploying wireless access for customers in its many stores, my mind drifts to the conversation I just had with Craig Burton on the phone, about the need for a widespread presence infrastructure. Turns out that presence is a big part of Jabber's appeal. Craig and I are both on Jabber Inc. advisory boards. |
| | What I see happening with commerical 802.11b deployment smacks excessively of bean counting (pun intended). And if I read Glenn right, Starbucks is basically just letting MobileStar do its thing all over the place, just to bring in customers. |
| | My question is, does the system work? The fact that MobileStar has a "view by protocol" page suggests that this thing may be pretty durn complicated. |
Now that's style
| | My pal Steve Chappell (whose company I gladly plug) points to a gallery of Sharon Tate photographs taken by his uncle Walter and kept safe from publicity for 35 years. |

BS phone home
| | Jim Florentine is a sarcastic prick from New Jersey who sits at home with a tape recorder waiting to torture telemarkeing callers. Then he puts the results on a CD. Funny stuff. Here are a few samples. |
