Welcome to the Future
Despite my recent ruminations about space exploration, the 21st century does sometimes produce some futuristic stuff. Flying cars, for example. Tweet

Musicians: Beware the Lion
Apple released Lion today, and demonstrated once again that they really don’t care about the subset of their customers who use Apple computers to make music. Reports are rolling in of all sorts of things not working under Lion, including both hosts and plug-ins. Chris is testing our stuff and the major hosts today and [...]

Bon Voyage, Atlantis
I’m sitting here feeling a little bummed because I missed watching live coverage of the last-ever Space Shuttle launch (by about seven minutes). I’ve watched a number of launches and landings and I meant to pay attention during the last one, but I forgot. I grew up during some of the best years of the [...]

Chirp! Um, I mean, Tweet!

Twitter in its original conception of “answering the question, ‘what are you doing right now?’”(or however they put it) never interested me much. If I need to know what someone is doing, I’ll ask, and I assume the same [...]

Dear Adobe: Can I Have My Time Back?
Seriously, Adobe, between updates to your Flash player (which frequently go awry and cause my system to hang) and updates to Acrobat Reader, you’re wasting a noticeable amount of my time. I think I’m going to dump Acrobat Reader and look for viable replacements. I know that they must be out there; Goodreader on the [...]

“Incidents themselves are neutral”
It’s a bit startling to see how much time has gone by since my last post here. I’ve been distracted by work–both businesses have been very busy–and by the slowly unfolding and worsening news from Japan, and as a result haven’t found the inclination to post anything, I guess.
