Just a quick note on something I just observed. Google is getting better and better at the sort of UI tweaks that I’ve come to expect from Apple. Maybe Google did this months ago and it was just so subtle that I just now noticed it, but if you look at the “mode change” box [...]

Apple’s announcements yesterday? Color me unimpressed. And another thing. All the analysts that are calling the Kindle Fire “not an iPad killer” are totally missing the point. If the Kindle Fire does 80% of what an iPad can do and costs 40% of the price, it is an iPad killer. Just like Android hasn’t been [...]
First off, thanks to a lot of you beautiful, wonderful people I’m back in some kind of financial position where things aren’t all screwed up. You know who you are, and thank you. Your help has gotten me to the point where I can get some of the things I need done without having to [...]
Seattle Sunday, Monday, and early Tuesday, for those who may be interested.
Today I’m supposed to be heading out to Bakersfield and points south. It’s really hard to leave: I still love San Francisco. Went down to Weird Stuff Warehouse yesterday, which was fun. Also got to hang out a bit with a couple of friends. Into the abyss known as the Central Valley…
Okay, just one of those bloggy updates about where I’m at and what’s going on. On Thursday I started driving south, and wound up in San Francisco. Been spending the last couple of days immersing myself in the city I love. On Friday I did a little whirlwind tour: Fisherman’s Wharf, the Musee Mecanique (and I [...]

Last month, I made a post about the Hunter within me. How it manifests in thoughts and actions. And how even in an environment of relative plenty I feel impoverished and hungry. I made that comment almost as an aside without realizing what was there. I’m beginning to understand why. The food we’re given is [...]
There was a story on Slashdot about selling off a chunk of radio spectrum that amateur radio uses as “secondary users”. The usual arguments back and forth were had, including somebody trotting out the old standby of ham radio will save us when all else fails!~!. Aside from the fact that even I, somebody who’s [...]
I really don’t have much of a developed opinion over the verbal free-for-all presently going on in the pagan comminity over PantheaCon. But, I do have this observation. Any group that excludes based upon factors that do not take into account the holistic individual are doomed to exactly this sort of failure. If, as Z. [...]
