iPod nano Review in Seattle Times
My review of the iPod nano appears in today’s Seattle Times: Apple reinvents iPod mini. I’m a design geek, so when Apple releases a product this small and this wonderfully well-engineered, I’m hooked.

Raining (and Biking) in Seattle
Rusty Umbrella Man Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. August was hot and sunny, and although I know a lot of people go for that sort of thing, it’s not my preferred state. Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the rain and the gray – especially when I have a lot of work to do. ...

My wife is out of town for a few days, which means I get to watch all the television I want. Mostly, this includes shows she has no interest in seeing (such as the documentary Gunner Palace, which arrived today via Netflix). Now I’m sittting on the couch, checking email, and scrolling through channels, one ...

NYTimes Review HDR-HC1
The only previous option for shooting HDV footage was Sony’s HDR-FX1, a good camera with a $3,500 price tag. In today’s New York Times, David Pogue reviews the HDR-HC1, a new, smaller Sony camcorder that shoots HDV: A Look Ahead at HDTV, Shot by You. The HC1 is much smaller, but also uses only one ...
