Mac OS X 10.3.3
Have you updated yet? I’m waiting a bit longer, just in case there are any of those nightmares out there waiting to be discovered.

You can’t buy this kind of press
Yet another TiVo lovefest, from the NYTimes. I’m a believer, but this kind of fawning article makes me wonder. We’re still only on the first generation, really, of this kind of technology. Think how bad TV must have gotten to make people appreciate their TiVos this much!?!

Leaving Levittown
Vin Crosbie, who is fearless about his public prognostications, reminds fans of RSS that it’s not the solution to all the problems of publishers. Today’s RSS is merely another method of pushing whatever content the publisher (be that a newspaper publisher or a blogger) wants, when instead the real solution is to give whatever the…

Scary
I might have a reason to read this document, and — who knows — try and apply some of its knowledge at work. I won’t pretend to be excited. “Vocabulary Mapping for Terminology Services” isn’t on any bestseller lists I’ve seen.

The eyes have it
At an eye appointment this afternoon, my eyes were dilated. I dislike this step, even though it’s normal, as it leaves me unable to read for a few hours thereafter. In my rush to get back online, I took the step of bumping up the font sizes in all my applications (Mail, Safari, NetNewsWire)… and…

Will 10.3.3 do the trick?

Movie: Spellbound
I don’t think I’ve worried about spelling since third grade. Watching the documentary Spellbound can certainly change your perspective. The movie follows eight children preparing for, and competing in, the National Spelling Bee. I had heard that the finals of the Bee are covered live by ESPN, with very high ratings. This movie shows why.…

53 million can’t be wrong
Hypergene points out a recent (February 29) study released by Pew Internet & American Life Project, stating that 53 million Americans have produced content online. That’s 44% of adult (18+) internet users in this country. The definition of content is quite broad, but I agree with the inclusiveness. Most of this is about connecting and…
