Monkinetic Weblog

"Nate", Jodi, Nate's cousin, and I are watching 2001: A Space Oddysey. I've never seen it, neither has Jodi. It's funny to see a 1960's view of life in the twenty-first century, and the movie's slow as mollasses, but it's interesting, that's for certain.

Ihateapple.com hacked. Ha!

DON'T PANIC.

Well, after nearly a year of work, on and off, and spending the entire christmas holidays working our butts off... we completed the Master Bedroom and Jodi's dressing room.

Hi everyone. I hope you have a great New Year! We're having a sort of New Year's "Open House"... we've got friends and family over, enjoying each other's company and fellowship.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!
