Other stuff

Non-Scoble items for today… 🙂

BTW, on a slightly related note, I did make a recommendation about a product once where I looked at enthusiast sites and journalist sites and took their word for it. It was OS X for our graphics person. All of the zealots told me using Classic Mode was no problem. I should have been more cynical, because it has been nothing but a problem.

Gangs of New York was excellent. I highly recommend it, and not just because I’m Irish, Catholic, raised in New York and descended from immigrants either. 🙂 Angela was raised in the South and the Draft Riots of 1863 were a side of the Civil War she had never really been exposed to this in-depth, so it’s got some education for everyone. We also saw Two Weeks Notice yesterday, a cute movie. Definitely chick-flick material but cute and fun nonetheless.

After getting the Dell Axim early, the rest of my Christmas presents were decidedly low-tech, with the exception of a Think Geek Foobar T-shirt. (Yeah it’s spelled FooBar instead of Fubar, interesting, almost makes it seem like some sort of top-secret Foo Fighters t-shirt..*L*) I’m glad though, I like to have non-tech interests as well, makes for a more well-rounded approach to life and work.

    I didn’t notice it earlier but Angela just pointed out the new stuff in the blogger interface. Now posting operates a bit more like Word, I can change fonts, colors and sizes, I can center text and there are keyboard shortcuts for all of that stuff. Not sure how much I’l really use this, but…

  • How does your brain work?

    Dave Winer says the brain is hierarchic, while others disagree. I tend to think it’s completely individual. Some people work well with outlines and the way Dave describes it, some don’t. Let’s use his example of finding things in your house. Where are the Q-tips in my house? Right now there in our bathroom, but…
