Well…
GeekStuff4U is no Amazon.com, that’s for sure. I’m still in “Processing.” What’s so hard about getting a keyboard off the shelf, putting it in a box, slapping a label on it and throwing it in the mail is anybody’s guess, never quite understood that. EDIT: The keyboard has left Japan. No clue about when to [...]
Redoing the iPad bag
I’ve been carrying around my iPad in a Tom Bihn Ristretto with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, the Twelve South Compass mobile stand and assorted cables, chargers, USB sticks and whatnot in various Tom Bihn accessory pouches. I like the Ristretto a lot, but it has just never quite fit all the things I carry to meetings, [...]
“Friendship, morality and brotherly love.”
What a pantload.
Leader or the next guy in line?
I read an awesome article this morning titled Steve Jobs and the Quality of Leadership discussing Jobs’ resignation and why he was able to do such amazing things at Apple when extremely bright men like John Sculley, Michael Spindler and Gil Amelio were unable to. Here’s the quote that struck home for me: Gil Amelio [...]
Another great day for McLaren!
Well, it was a great day for half of McLaren, anyway. A somewhat dodgy call for intermediate tires and a spin in front of Paul DiResta didn’t do much for Lewis’ day, but his problems probably wrapped up the victory for Jenson, who seems a master of poor conditions like they had today in Hungary. [...]
Here’s a thought.
Peggy Noonan posted this today. The secret of Mr. Obama is that he isn’t really very good at politics, and he isn’t good at politics because he doesn’t really get people. The other day a Republican political veteran forwarded me a hiring notice from the Obama 2012 campaign. It read like politics as done by [...]
RIP Optical Drives
Engadget posted a big whine this morning about Apple beginning the process of finally excising the optical disk drives from their hardware as they long ago did with the MacBook Air and have now done with the Mac mini. It’s about time this finally happened. When’s the last time you used your optical drive? I [...]
The best keyboard money can buy
Or I think so anyway. When you use a tool all day every day, you owe it to yourself to make sure that tool is a good one. It just makes your job and your life better. My tools are computers, and the part of the computer you spend the most time touching is the [...]
Lewis and I are both happy today!
Any race Sebastian Vettel doesn’t win is a good one, but today’s F1 Grand Prix of Germany from the Nurburgring was a particularly great race. Germany is apparently getting all the cool air absent from Indiana these days, and Ferrari has plenty of trouble getting heat into their tires on a warm day, so Alonso’s [...]
OSX 10.7… Lion!
I installed OSX 10.7, Lion, on my Macs this afternoon and I’ve had a little time to play with it. A few thoughts. Mission Control is awesome when you combine it with the new full screen applications. Mission Control is a combination of Expose and Spaces with a dose of Dashboard mixed in. What you [...]
