Here are 10 photos from our trip up to Indian Lake in the Adirondack State Park. Five hours from NYC. We stayed in a small cabin right on the water. We took a couple hikes, a rather long trip in two row boats, and ate pretty much constantly. C beat us all at cards. Beautiful spot we will return to next year.
Gone fishin'.
Be back Thursday.
When I get downstairs to the office later (and the DSL line) I will check out this 15 megabyte photo of the WTC site. Apparently it was made with a large format camera from a airplane.
Cam has a side by side comparison of the new Windows XP default screen and a poster of the teletubbies. Hmmmm....
Tuesday is: XP release; new Apple ("not a Mac") device release; weblogs.com corner turn. Also, I'll be introducing a new upgraded version of myself at a gala press conference. Your invite might have been lost in the mail.
Whump has a link to an article on making custom sidebars for Netscape 6 (Mozilla.) I've got an experiment brewing I'll need this for.
Wow. Great show last night. Well worth the trip. A little bit of mayhem can still happen right in the middle of Times Square. Are they coming to your town? Highly recommended.
Short article by Paul Virilio:
"...I will underline that terrorism has just inaugurated an anti-cities strategy. This means that all towers are today threatened. Instead of being a place of dominion, as the dungeons of the past, the tower has become a place of weakness: vertically, it is henceforth the equivalent of the outer wall which the artillery blew up...."
I have the chance to pay too much money to see the Yankees on Saturday. This would be completely irresponsible of me, but the question is: should I do it? Somebody talk me down.
Few more boring photos of operation infinite basement office construction.
According to CNet, Apple is about to introduce a music device. I have no idea what this will be, or even if it will be, but what I want is a very small portable player, with built in airport (wireless networking a.k.a. wi-fi a.k.a. 802.11b) and the ability to play music files stored locally, or streamed from any other airport connected device. Also, I'd like an open plug-in interface so that it could be easily extended by third parties to recognize any music file format (mp3, ogg vorbis, etc...)
It should run something like iTunes. When I turn it on it should display an index of all music files in the device, plus automatically scan for any open airport connections, initiate those connections, and build an extended index of all music files accessible over the local network.
The player itself should wirelessly connect to other players in the vicinity (you could set yours to private if you wanted) or to other Macs. This interface should also be open so that third parties could connect as well (so, for instance, this device could connect to a suitably configured linux music server as well as a Mac.)
Nice to dream.
