A Whole Lotta Nothing

Well, Macworld has been cool. Tonight we had a weblogger get together, which was a lot of fun. I’ll post pics when I get back. The highlight of the night was meeting big-time asian film star Evan.

Well, I’m off to Macworld, tomorrow is the keynote by Steve Jobs, which will be online. I’ll probably be back Saturday. If you need to reach me, try sending a page to my cell phone.

Tonight, while showing my friends Magnus and Liz how I could actually surf the amazon.com site on my new PCS phone, I wanted to see what the buying process was like. With the small 3 line long, ~25 character display, I looked up the Shawshank Redemption DVD I’ve wanted for a while, hit a couple buttons and the next thing I know I actually bought it. The entire process took all of 90 seconds, including the time to transfer data. I guess the future is already here.

I’ve learned that my office is currently cursed by Murphy’s Law, as an ethernet plug suddenly popped out of a network card, which made MetaFilter unreachable for about an hour today. Also, while I was talking on the phone with someone, the plug on the handset popped out, dropping the call. Perhaps someone greased all the ports in my office with Millennilube.

I might be redesigning this page later this week. Somewhere I’d like to work in links to all my permanent projects and put links to my webcams. Here’s a shot of my cam at work. I might post a link to my home cam as well.

I hereby nominate the Y2K bug for the “biggest overblown non-event” of the millenium. Well, everything is fine with me. Hope your new years went well, and I wish everyone a good new year.

Instead of using my own software, I’m going to start posting new thoughts here using blogger, which should make the page load a lot faster. I’ll continue posting links to things I’m working on, and with blogger, it should be even easier to do, so expect near-daily posts.
