Adobe Labs delivered an early Christmas present to all Mac users who use Intel-based Macs: a beta release of Photoshop CS3. This new version is a universal binary, so it runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Core systems, but the beauty is that I can finally run Photoshop at a decent clip on my …
I finally picked up Love this past weekend, and have since given it a few listens with headphones. As I write this, it’s getting a first spin on the stereo in The Burrow. And my impressions of the album, after a more detailed analysis, are still incredibly positive. Firstly, the stereo mix is fantastic. George …
Who says Sundays are lazy? I got up at 9:00 am, had a little breakfast, rode to the office to help my pal, Michelle, resuscitate her PowerBook G4, got a PowerBook out of the deal (!), did some reading for class, and now I’m ready to head home. I rode the bike into the office, …
One of my first blog-type online journals was at LiveJournal, a community that evolved out of a teeny-bopper base (“put your diary online!”) to become a diverse, thriving community that spans all age groups.

Back from New York City. We chose a daft time to go: the hottest spell of weather that’s hit the east coast in a few years. It was insanely hot, so we tried to spend at much time indoors as possible. As such, we spent time in: – a Pret a Manger – a bookstore …
Given that it can be a pain to GMap my routes, I think that an Adeo GPS unit would be very, very cool to have. Major drool factor….
If there’s one thing that creates heated debates among the road cycling set, it’s aerobars. You know: the things that all triathletes use, the bars that likely made the difference in Greg LeMond’s 1989 Tour de France win? The thing is, I love the concept: being able to cheat the wind, remaining aerodynamic on your …
Oh, to be a resident of the UK! I say this because there’s no way to stream an audio broadcast of the World Cup here in the U.S.A. Okay, that’s not entirely true. ESPN.com offers a live video stream, so long as you are a subscriber to a broadband service that’s paid their dues to …
