What we’ve been up to (or, what we’re saying we’ve been up to).
…well, we’ve got a customized home screen icon, at least.
I’ve had an iPhone (3G) for just 20 days and I’m still learning how to use it. (Did you know this iPhone-thing is more than just a phone?) For example, one of my early-adopter 2G-owning coworkers pointed out that you can save Mobile Safari URLs to [...]
…on Virgin America.
I dislike air travel. It’s not a fear of flying or anything. I guess I dislike commercial air travel. I don’t like having to get to the airport to meet the airline’s schedule, or dealing with the increasing luggage restrictions and TSA searches. I really don’t like how crowded and small coach seating [...]
…but not for everyone. And, by everyone, I mean, me.
While I knew there would be lines around the block at the Apple retail stores, I held out some hope that the situation would be better at the decidedly unglamorous AT&T stores. Miss T and I made an early morning pass at the AT&T store in [...]
And, what, exactly, is WWDC, you ask? WWDC is Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.
And, why, exactly, should we care about Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, you ask? Macworld.com has some reasons. But, to save you a click, everyone is champing at the bit for iPhone 2, and WWDC seems like the likely candidate for the product announcement [...]
Long ago, in a land far, far away, I had a Macintosh LC. The LC was maxed out with 10 MB of RAM and an 80 MB hard drive. Its 68020 processor hummed along at a placid 16 MHz and it communicated to other computers via 1.44 MB floppies and 250 Kbps Localtalk. The LC [...]
Looking at the interval between the previous post and this one, you can tell it’s been a slow month. This is partially due to a lack of any noteworthy activity on my part (including blog-posting) and partially due to a near-obsessive focus on photography—specifically my own photography (photos I’ve taken, not photos of me). This [...]
Slow on the heels of the last photos-posted-late post are a batch of pics from the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. They are, of course, from a jaunt Miss T and I took last month.
So, the story goes like this: after a couple of false starts, one afternoon Miss T and I finally hiked [...]

For those of you wondering if Apple Inc. still makes computers, today’s special Apple Mac Event was a celebration of (almost*) all things Mac.
The first announcement was the new iMac form-factor. Thinner, sleeker, faster, shinier—the new, aluminimum-clad, 20– and 24-inch iMacs run Intel Core 2 Duo [...]
Following are some thoughts I scribbled in my notebook immediately post-AX (Anime Expo). I may expound on them at some later point.
Physical effects
Humid weather is tiring
I’m getting old (and, to a lesser extent, Miss T is too)
Hotels are getting cheaper (as in: not as good)
Have I mentioned the humidity?
Parking at the Renaissance Long Beach sucks
Hard [...]

As a former member of the Amalgamated Coworkers Kinko’s Federation United* (ACKFU) my nose hairs stand on end whenever there’s a whiff of FedEx Kinko’s in the air. Today my olfactory danger sense is piqued by the scent of “Adobe, FedEx Kinko’s pair up to ease doc printing.”
So how [...]
