Doc Searls re Eldred:

We don't turn around a pervasive mentality, anchored in conceptual metaphors older than most oaks, in one court calendar, one congressional term, or perhaps even one decade.

I finished another project last night with the client - David Sleigh, a friend who is self-releasing his new CD, Festival. No web site, yet, although we got him his domain yesterday. You can see some of the work in my portfolio.

I never needed a DVD burner. Until today. I decided I need to do some much needed backing up of my personal data, and realized that my user directory is 5 GB. Now, that didn't seem big to me until I realized that to back it up will take about 8 CDRs. And that's assuming I can break my data into full 650 mb portions. Phooey.

Sebastien Paquet: Personal knowledge publishing and its uses in research

jmtee has a blog entry where he mirrors some of David Hyatt's (Safari team member) comments regarding why Apple went with KHTML over the Gecko rendering engine. David has since taken down his post, so there's some question as to why, but the stuff jmtee mirrored is insightful.

UserLand's John Robb comments on what is (IMO) a pretty good article in InfoWorld about weblogs' place in the enterprise.

I forgot to link to this a while back, but after looking into it I'm doing so.

Well, I finally got around to buying a new license to OmniOutliner. I'm in planning mode for a new direction of my life, and I figured now was the time to finally spring for it.

Ok, everyone else has been going wonky over Safari, I might as well throw out a request: I want to be able to drag a file from the Finder onto a file upload form. This is 2003, people!

JY posts an interesting idea for Safari that solves the problem (multiple browser views supported in one window) that tabbed-browsing tries to solve. I think this is more Apple-like than actual tabs would be, and I like the "persistent-between-window-closes" idea too.

Wow. Clay Shirky is shredding the telcos and explaining the advantages of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

A Vonage customer can make an unlimited number of unlimited-length domestic long distance calls for their forty bucks, with call waiting, call forwarding, call transfer, web-accessible voicemail and caller ID thrown in free.

You, and you: RSS feed, now.

Paul Boutin posts a sample KeyNote file - it's xml (quite complex) but it would be fun creating web apps that generate these.

Dad, this is for you. Want that new 17" Powerbook? Here's a tool to use on it. -)
