OK, so the theory is that I follow the web, read interesting stuff, and post links here, as well as let you know what the heck is going on in life.

"Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely." --Edward Tufte. LOL. I HATE PowerPoint.

[via "Jim"] XML Transition Network Definition. Looks interesting. We need more open workflow-management systems. Most are high-end, integration nightmares.

I'm over at my buddy Nate's new condo, entering this from the comfort of his laundry closet. ;-) Nate's condo is all wired up, and this machine is the router next to the panel where his Cox\@Home connection comes in, and it sits on a shelf in his laundry closet. Sweeeeet.

Here's an interesting article from Discover Magazine about different voting schemes - very educational, especially in light of this year's snafu'd election.

This sounds really cool: MindRover is a game in which you design robots, wiring them up in what amounts to a visual boolean logic programming environment, then they compete in 3D arenas against the computer.

Wes Felter ponts us to xplanet, which puts an image of the earth on your Linux desktop. Cool? Not close - it also lets you rotate the globe, and update the cloud maps on the fly. Now that's cool.

This afternoon I registered, along with Jodi, for the MacWorld Expo in San Fransisco. Wooooohooooo!!! I have always wanted to be at one of these events. So, Jan 9th through the 14th we'll be on the left coast, checking out San Fransisco and all that's new in the Mac Universe. ;-)

To document the trip, I've created a new MWSF 2001 section on the site, as well as a weblog, of course! In time, the MacWorld Expo section will get it's own template, with links to interesting tidbits as I see fit.

If anyone is going to be at MW, post a response to this message, and let's set up a time to meet and greet! All are welcome!

P.S. - I apologize, the weblog link is currently broken. Please be patient.

P.P.S. - Thanks to Flip from "Macrobyte", my MWSF weblog is now fixed!

If you're going to MacWorld Expo SF, post a response here and perhaps we can set up a time to meet and greet. "Conversant" admins/users especially, though anyone's welcome!

The soundtrack from the movie Unbreakable is the sound of my life at this particular moment. It is filled with swelling, soaring Tim-Burton-esque strings fractured by nearly inaudible piano wanderings. String along again into thundering trip-hoppy walk-along beats. Flow.

The "MWSF Weblog" has become the home page of the new MWSF section of "Redmonk.Net". Also, there's a new template for the MWSF Weblog.

In a Sotheby's online auction, this pastel-colored Apple logo is going for $10,000. Hmmmm, I can scrounge up $11k... sure I can!

Yesterday, Pearl Harbor Day, the battleship U.S.S. Wisconsin was finally berthed in Norfolk, Va. I can't wait to go down and see this amazing peice of history. If you can't make it to Virginia, here are some links:
