Attention Instrumentalists: Don’t Sell Out
I have this pet peeve: it really bends me out of shape when musicians known for their instrumental releases start putting out material with vocals. I’m listening to the latest Michael Brook CD, RockPaperScissors. It’s a nice disc–or at least the first three tracks are, which is as far as I’ve gotten–with all of the [...]

Nice Laptop Bag
I purchased a new laptop computer recently–a snazzy new Lenovo X60 convertible Tablet PC. Eventually I’ll say more here about the computer itself, which is my first tablet and quite a fun device. First, though, I’d like to mention the nice case I found for it.
The computer is a somewhat unusual shape for a laptop; [...]

Progress in Robotics
Okay, I’m still getting over my disappointment that it’s the 21st century and yet we stil don’t have flying cars or moon bases, nor are we wearing jumpsuits with metallic trim or eating food pellets and Tang for breakfast.

Apple Admits Computers Aren’t Their Main Biz Any Longer
I couldn’t have put it better myself. Quoting from today’s Macintouch.com coverage of MacWorld: “In a startling acknowledgement of what has become obvious, Jobs announced the change of his company’s name from ‘Apple Computer Inc.’ to ‘Apple Inc.’”
Quite frankly, I’d be far more excited if Steve had announced that they’d finally fixed the cross-platform networking [...]

Bill Mitchell Deserves a Monument
Who’s Bill Mitchell, you say? According to this article on Retro Thing, Bill Mitchell was a food chemist who invented Tang, Kool Whip, Jell-o Instant Pudding, and Pop Rocks, and presumably a number of less memorable General Foods products. This genius deserves national recognition. Mr. Mitchell passed away in 1994, but that doesn’t mean we [...]

Bush Approves Government Access to Your Private Mail
As reported at CNN.com, Bush is making it legal for the government to read your mail without a search warrant. I suppose this is the sort of thing people are talkin about when they put those bumper stickers that say IF YOU’RE NOT OUTRAGED YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION on their cars.

More Snow
Another snow storm arrived here last night. This one isn’t predicted to be another blizzard, but there’s already a good 15cm or so of snow on the ground and it’s still coming down. The interesting thing about this storm is its proximity to the previous one. It’s quite unusual to have two substantial snowfalls this [...]
