“I�_Tm going to wait for the iPhone Shuffle. You just clip it to your ear and call people at random.”
Check out this post from John Nack on Adobe: > "[…]From Victor Allen at Juxt Interactive: "I’m going to wait for the iPhone Shuffle. You just clip it to your ear and call people at random." Hah![…]" (from: iPhone quip o’ the day, plus more from Macworld)

** [3:56 pm PST] In an effort to improve the performance of teleports across the grid, we are going to rebalance our bandwidth to some simulators in our co-location facilities. This will entail taking 164 regions off line for 30 minutes and bringing them back up on a new circuit. We will start this process at 4:00 pm PST so we should be complete with this operation by about 4:30 pm PST. (from**: Update on Search and TP issues)
Scott Adams writres about Spasmodic Dysphonia…
If you’veheard of Dilbert, then you may have heard about the author Scott Adams. And of course everyone has heard of Dilbert. His blog is almost always funny and sometimes really interesting to the point of touching. In a recent post, Scott Adams reveals that he suffers from something I neve...
Read more →Grey Gardens, on broadway
Here’s a show with a plot that is quite unusual, set as a musical, on Broadway. I enjoyed it immensely — recommended! Christine Ebersole is the lead, she briefly was a regular on Saturday Night Live (early eighties, for a couple of years) – not that I remember her from then although from the un-made-up photo on the web site, I kind of recognize her. Read more about it on wikipedia (where else?) p.s. The whole web site is made in flash and as a result I can’t link to any of the inner pages. Not smart!

I am getting more and more paranoid about this. Lately I have started to use an application called 1Passwd (which also includes a FireFox plug in.) Anyway. check out this post from [Schneier on Security](http://www.schneier....

Check out this post from Lifehacker: > So you want an iPhone when it ships in June (who doesn’t?), but you’re locked into a contract with your current provider. Try Celltrade, a service that helps you transfer your contract responsibility to someone else and effectively walk away without paying a hefty penalty.

Drama in Blog Time.
A very interesting commentary on the phenomenon of blogging. Is what we write ‘of little consequence’? Does the fact that we post again the next day say that we ourselves feel that way? Check out this post from [What Will You See Nex...

I say it’s the Newton of the 21st century. I love my mac as much as the next guy, but mac fanatics become insufferable at a certain point. Bah, humbug.
The best twenty Mac apps you’ve never heard of
Some good mac applications referenced in this post . I particularly like Service Scrubber (never could really find a use for that Service menu, sorry!) and CocoaMySql which looks like a very nicely done graphical UI for MySql databases.

A cautionary utility computing tale – or the dark side of Mashups

If you need this tip, it will save you a lot of time. 99% likely though, you don’t need it and it will read as complete gibberish. But I feel compelled to share it because it’s totally obscure and I just spent 2 hours trying to figure it out. Problem: - Eclipse 3.2.1 just ceased to be able to gr...

DayLife: very nice new News Site
Notwithstanding the fact that Mike Arrington, an investor, doesn’t like DayLife too much, I just spend a few minutes looking, and I think it’s very very nice. I’d say it’s definitely worth a look. The other investors seem to like it better. Ironic state of affa...

I am enhancing the backup methodology here at BlogBridge Enterprises and was selecting a new 500Gb external hard disk. One choice I made was whether to get an Ethernet, i.e. network attached, hard disk or connect one directly to my Mac via USB-2 or FireWire. Admittedly being too lazy to...

Check out this post from Scobleizer – Tech Geek Blogger: > As a comparison, I have three PCs. Two of which have never crashed in their entire lifetimes. And I use my PCs nearly around the clock. I have two Macs too and haven’t seen this problem on those. (from: Apple rebooting problem hits us…) Huh? two PCs who haven’t crashed in their entire lifetimes? Must be something that happens only at Microsoft (yeah, I know he’s not there any more.) Or he got those two PCs for Christmas. 2006.
