Interviewed in Wall Street Journal about Holiday DVDs
Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan interviewed me for the Wall Street Journal about creating a holiday DVD (versus a holiday letter), and the article has now appeared on the WSJ Web site: “Now on DVD: Holiday Cards.” What I find interesting is how the writer took some factual information and spun it in a way that isn’t ...
Truth and Meaning in WSJ Article
My friend Glenn made a PDF of the Wall Street Journal article in which I appear ("Now on DVD: Holiday Cards"), so I was able to read it even though I’m not a WSJ subscriber. It’s an amusing overview of people who are sending DVDs with a bit of information on how to do it. ...
I’m in the Wall Street Journal
Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan interviewed me for the Wall Street Journal about creating a holiday DVD (versus a holiday letter), and the article has now appeared on the WSJ Web site: “Now on DVD: Holiday Cards.” However, because I’m not a subscriber, I can’t read it (damn subscription crap).

iTunes Smart Playlist Adventure
I almost always listen to music via iTunes while I’m working, but I do find myself gravitating to the handful of recent albums purchased.

Dan Frakes at Macworld looks at VisualHub, a $28 utility for converting video into oodles of formats in “All you need is Hub“: As an example of VisualHub’s performance, I had a 5.8GB, 1 hour 49 minute, AVI version of a movie that I wanted to convert for iPod viewing.
