Alex sees problems ahead

Alex Scoble is using my last post as an example of what he thinks will be a growing problem with wireless gadgets, overcrowded airwaves. If my experience is at all common, I’d say it’s something to be concerned about. I don’t have that many wireless devices in my house going at once. At most a cell phone, my blackberry and the wireless LAN, maybe throw in the cordless landline phone and that’s the most extreme use of wireless at my house at any one time. Generally, so long as they don’t get too close together, I’m alright. I’m betting some of you have more. What have your experiences been?

    While we were out running around last night, one of the stops we made was to browse around at Half-Price Books. (One of my favorite places!)

    Message to Angela: the copy of Mac OS X “Tiger” arrived safely at my office. It’ll be awaiting you when you get home this evening. Since I haven’t even installed my upgrade to VMWare 5.0 yet, I’m going to do that this evening, hopefully, and let her install Tiger, it is her Mac afterall. (But…

  • Still not sure I get the point

    I know you’ve all heard a bout Twitter, and how all the cool kids are using it to tell each other what they’re up to every minute. Ever since the first time I read about it, my thought has always been “why?”. Seriously, how many people on earth care about what you’re doing at any…
