Many people have been noticing how hot the new MacBook Pro’s (Intel chips) get. I’ve been monitoring mine and hit a new record (as well as some […]

The Future Is Now

Cool underground photos of Japan’s infrastructure at Joe Nishizawa: Japan’s underground photography.

All About Search

Field Notes From The GooglePlex
“Cutts left me pondering about the importance of search to Google, and how it was still the brains behind the entire show. Following him were folks spearheading the Google WiFi division, Google Talk, Google Finance and Google Checkout. Their thoughts would surely find their way into posts on those topics, but […]

Texting In A Virtual World

I’ve been experimenting with Parallels lately - this is the program that lets me run Windows (in my case Win2K) on my Intel MacBook Pro. It works very well..considerably better than Virtual PC on the PPC. It’s a great way to simulate client environments and when necessary open those MS Project files. […]

I’m Tired Of Waiting Too

The Future Of Cable TV That You Will Probably Never Get To Watch
“Instead we have to put up with crappy UIs, poor feature sets, and crappy HD content.
Do you blame me for loading BitTorrent?”

I Get It

I’m new to Rocketboom. I get it. Cool.

Who authorized this heat in Vancouver? This is a screenshot of the current weather from my Mac. Crazy.

Finest TV Show Going

The season three teaser/trailer for Battlestar Galactica reminds me of why (for me at least) this is the best show on television right now.

Optimism Is Essential

I wish I could write more about what being an entrepreneur is like. One day maybe…especially lately with so much going on in our business. I know I’ve been accused many times of being too optimistic, and admittedly the truth is somewhere in between, but for me it always came down to the […]

Should Have Written It Out

Dave links to a great site with the The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs.

Energy Superpower?

Harper Calls Canada An Emerging Energy Superpower
“As evidence, Mr. Harper said Canada is the world’s third largest producer of gas, seventh in oil production, the biggest hydro-electric generator and the biggest supplier of uranium. Alberta’s tar sands are second only to Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil reserve.”

Welcome Edgrr

Ryan got MarsEdit working on my new Word Press blog. Thanks. Carole and Ryan are also new dog parents…saw Edgrrr earlier today and you can see some freakishly cute photos of him here.

Goodnight Gracie

Well…after eight years I can finally say goodbye to Gracie. Gracie is my 1979 Mercedes 300D (diesel). It’s been a great car but lately it hasn’t been getting the engine run it needs in the city. I’ve also realized it may be time to get something a bit more modern/practical. Anyways […]

London Brightly

Was able to wander London early this morning with the sun shining brightly. The whole city is abuzz with anticipation of the big game tonight (our flight leaves 30 minutes before game time…I bet they make sure we leave on time).
Made my usual pilgramige to Foyles. I got there before it […]
