Watching time, the only true currency // A journal from John B. Roberts

  • Marriage and its effect on…

    I found this same study noteworthy, but I didn’t realize there was a Slashdot thread on the study, emphasizing the marriage part, not the age limit.

  • Do you want to learn…

    I don’t have much interest, but I know people who do. Here’s a quote from a son of a flight instructor… a son chose not to learn how to fly, despite the obvious opportunity. Why? Because… “I don’t want to do something where the opposite of perfection is death.” Hmmm. How forgiving is your vocation…

  • List of newsreaders

    I don’t know what iTopik is, but here’s the longest list of newsreaders I’ve seen. Not sure the “best” list is, yet.

  • 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…

  • Push button publishing… but the…

    It’s early Thursday morning, and I just noticed that my Tuesday posts didn’t get published online. I didn’t post anything yesterday (Wednesday), so that gap in the calendar is real/deliberate, but this is mildly annoying. Over the weekend, I regenerated my entire website because of this problem. We’ll see if this boring update goes through.

  • PowerBook arrived

    Now it’s time to figure out how to effectively use two computers together, for everything from email to blogging to music to photos. It may be time to dig beneath the OS X covers (uh oh), since Unix plumbing is intended for this kind of usage. Any sites with compelling details of how to successfully…

  • How would you rank MacOS…

    Over at About.com, Heinz rates his top 10 Windows News Aggregators. I didn’t read carefully enough, so I was looking for NetNewsWire, and was disappointed/surprised. Of course, NNW is only for MacOS, so it didn’t make the list. I haven’t tried more than three on MacOS X. NetNewsWire – Written as if the developer was…
