Fatigue sets in
Lots of different things come to mind when I think about this site, but my energy is quite directed right now at family and work, not always in that order, unfortunately. This site feels like a luxury. I’d prefer to create here, rather than simply comment, but opining on other’s work is sure a whole…

Looking for a PowerBook case
Incase laptop sleeve is being used by Mike. Looks fine… looking at TidBITS didn’t come up with obvious alternatives. Google brought me to ACME MADE,Waterfield Design, Tom Bihn, and Booq. Not convinced yet, but so far leaning towards the last one — has a pocket and carrying handle, with detachable strap included, but still not…

Long week, but reached a…
The project is not done, but we reached a huge milestone today at work. In the larger scheme of things, not important, but to my focus, energy, and excitement… a big step. I’ll provide some details in the future, when it’s publicly disclosed, but I’ll get some closure over the next week or so. From…

Turn signals
Long rant about being a bicyclist, and all the effort that goes into avoiding cars and hating buses, etc. As someone who bicycle commutes ~3 days/week, I am on his side… especially about the turn signals. Anyway, if there’s one thing I’d ask you drivers out there as a favor to us bikers — even…

Button works again
Quitting Radio and starting it again fixed the problem, and it updated the older posts. Back to other topics than the process… maybe more interesting, maybe not. 😉
