iMovie Make-a-Wish Part 2
Tonight was the Make-a-Wish event for Wendy, and I’m happy to say it went very well. Wendy picked up quite the haul of hardware, and I’m sure she’ll have fun using it. Thanks again to Kevin and the rest of the folks at the Apple Store University Village for their time and effort!

Army Seeks More Armored Humvees
CNN reports: Army seeks more armored Humvees. This is good to see, but it’s terrible that it didn’t happen until it became a public relations problem. The U.S. Army is renegotiating with a Florida company to increase production of uparmored Humvees from 450 a month up to 550 a month, a senior Pentagon official said ...

Shifting the Blame, and Bush Lies Again
Following the flap where a soldier asked Rumsfeld about the lack of armor for troops, I see that the current news is that a reporter planted GI’s question for Rumsfeld. By doing so, the Pentagon and the White House want to make people think it was an attack on a member of the administration, and ...

Armor Shortage Is Pentagon’s Fault
Found on Atrios: Despite Rumsfeld’s comment that the government is working as hard as it can to provide armor for troops, actual capacity is only 75 percent, and the sole manufacturer of body armor is just waiting for the Pentagon to place an order. The American Street » what price physics?. Armor Holdings Inc., the ...

iMovie 4/iDVD 4 VQS Correction
Alert reader Michael pointed out a typo in iMovie 4 & iDVD 4 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide: Page 100, Figure 9.7 should read “Use the Save Frame As command…” (not Safe). True, it’s not a life-threatening error, but why give the typo the satisfaction of mucking up the book? Thanks Michael! If ...

Rumsfeld Should Go
If there’s any doubt that the Bush administration values loyalty over competence, look to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld. No post-invasion plan for Iraq, Abu Graib, and now a complete lack of regard for the troops he’s sending to a war zone. One soldier, identified by The Associated Press as Army Spc. Thomas Wilson of the ...

By Caffeine Alone…
I saw an amusing signature in a friend’s email tonight that echoes the current week. I’m editing three Take Control ebooks simultaneously, which all need to go out post-haste. So, my self-assigned label of “Late-Nighter” is certainly apt right now. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the ...
