Starbucks Power Minutia
How nitpicky can a blog entry be? I’m at a Starbucks in Bellevue, WA, the one adjacent to Barnes & Noble on 106th Ave. If you’re planning to be here, note that not all of the power outlets work… specifically, the very convenient one by the door. The outlet on the floor near the coffee ...

iDVD 3.0.1 on Non-Superdrive Macs!
When Apple released its iDVD 3.0.1 Update recently, they quietly added a potentially very cool feature: any G4 or G5-based Mac can use iDVD 3! (Of course, you can’t burn a DVD, but you can at least work on a project, then copy the project to a Mac with a Superdrive.) Previously, you had to ...

Cycling Sportsmanship
Excellent article in the L.A. Times about sportsmanship in cycling, especially the Tour de France: In Cycling, Winning With Honor Means Everything . It’s wonderful to see that this type of behavior still exists.

Palm Article in Seattle Times
The Seattle Times ran an article I wrote about wireless Palm handhelds. I looked at the Palm Tungsten W, a device that uses the GSM/GPRS cellular network for Internet access (and can also be used as a phone), and the Palm Tungsten C, which gets its wireless access using Wi-Fi (802.11b) networking.

More iTunes Coolness: iChat Status
Here’s a fun little hack: iChatStatus. If you’re listening to iTunes, iChatStatus lists the artist and song name in the status area of iChat’s window, and people who have you listed in their buddy list can see what you’re listening to. Less than five minutes after I installed it, I received an instant message from ...

Watching Tour de France
I’m working on an article with the TV on in the background, watching the riders of the Tour de France climb in the Alps. I’ve never really followed the Tour, but I like to catch some of the televised coverage. Mostly, this is because it’s fun to watch the crowds. You see quite a few ...
