san-fransisco

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!

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:

The Hubble Heritage Project has an amazing image gallery consisting of photographs taken from the Hubble Space Telescope. This is incredible.

My buddy "Jim" has his Edmunton Oilers weblog up-to-date again. If you're a hockey fan, or any kind of sports fan, check out how this site is run - it's an example of how REAL fans want to follow their teams.

So I'm waiting for Userland "Frontier" to recieve a database update, through it's nifty "XML-RPC"-based update feature. Problem is, it's been months since I updated this copy of Frontier, and the update is 10500K. Yikes! Frontier's status message tells me that it's receiving the data, but doesn't tell me how far it's along in the process.

Not caring much for the excuse for main navigation I had on this site before, I've added the tabs at the top of the page. This is my first Tabbed Interface - do they work for you?

I've been a graphic designer for years, and used Macromedia (previously Aldus) Freehand for may of those years. I used Adobe's Illustrator before and during that time, and I consistently like Freehand better. But...

OK, now I'm blushing. A few weeks back I wrote a little tool for Radio Userland that takes a directory outline and outputs it in the format used by the Open Directory Project. Today I found DMOZDirectory linked from Radio Userland's directory, in the Community Tools section. Thanks guys!

And sets aside the November ruling by the Florida Supreme Court. The Florida court must now reconsider it's previous decision.

I'm spending mine curled up with a B&W PowerMac G3, OSX, Apple's developer tools, and a Vermont Cookbook. Yum!
