Wow. Apple's introduced new Powerbooks again:

Apple announces the new eMac: the education iMac.

Looks like Macromedia has got their whole lineup out in the new MX form now. I know Dreamweaver now runs on OS X (that link also has all the other areas that were improved in MX).

Ah.. Sunday afternoon. Nice lazy day. Jodi and I had a really full Saturday: we got up at 5 o'clock to go hiking at Squaw Peak. That about killed me, but I'm getting better. Squaw Peak is about an hour hike to the summit, but it's all going up - with no respite, it's like climbing stairs. By the time I got to the top I had almost vomitted, and my legs were so rubbery I about fell off the mountain (the top is all crags - you have to be mountain goat to stay put!) The view, however, is awesome - you can really get an idea of how huge the Phoenix valley is.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.

Robert X Cringely is a tech columnist for PBS. This week his son died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), while lying in Robert's lap as he did his email. It's... horrible. My thoughts and prayers go out to Robert and his family.
