Goodbye 2006
The new year’s arrival echoed most of 2006: it happened almost as an afterthought. Kim and I stayed home New Year’s Eve, she with a cold and me with work to do, and our good friend Shannon came over to see what a Carlson New Year’s Eve was like. Fortunately, she didn’t have high expectations, ...

Did you get a camera for the holidays?
Now that the wrapping paper is strewn about the living room, is a new camcorder buried among the Christmas (or Hannukah) loot? If so, share what you received in the comments. I’m curious to know what people are using. (And by the way, if you did get a camera and are looking for a good ...

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). Anyone able to send me the text? ...

Breen fixes Macworld vid in post
Macworld’s Christopher Breen could probably use any video editor he wants, but he puts together the Macworld podcast using iMovie HD. That can prove challenging when, for example, editor Jason Snell hands off some less-than-ideal raw footage with the comment, “Oh, in the interview the camera is off a little bit, leaving too much space ...

Home Espresso – The Slippery Slope
Former Seattle espresso guru tonx is writing about coffee at Dethroner.com for a bit, and I found this post to be so true in many ways: Home Espresso – The Slippery Slope. Don’t do it. You’ve got so much to live for. Don’t listen to the chorus of coffee geeks chanting “one of us, one ...

Wired Test looks at videocameras
Not surprisingly, the Canon HV10 high-definition camcorder scores “best” honors in Wired Test’s collection. The roundup also includes DVD-based camcorders and a couple of hard-disk models, too. Also nice is a set of audio tools (the Audio-Technica AT897 shotgun microphone, for example).

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. At some point I created a Smart Playlist that shows me music that hasn’t played during the past year. It’s a nice eclectic mix of tunes, with 121 items covering 9 ...
