- Walt Mossberg gets more than a few questions about computing. After all, he is the Wall Street Journal's Personal Tech writer and is widely respected as one of the fairest and most honest tech reviewers working today. He's written an article where one of the Q&As from a reader is about Apple's iLife: Q: We have accumulated a number of digital gadgets (digital camera, camcorder, etc. |

- Pangea Software's "Nanosaur II: Hatchling" game is currently in development and is expected to ship in early 2004. The game is a continuation of the original Nanosaur storyline, yet this time you get to fly a pteradactyl who's loaded with hi-tech weaponry, and the game is much larger than the original 1998 game. In addition to the adventure mode where you blast enemy dinos and save eggs, there are also many two-player levels including racing, capture-the-flag, and death... |

- If you want to know all about AppleScript--the how, where, and why of using it--dig into "AppleScript: The Definitive Guide." It isn't about scripting this or that particular application, and it doesn't assume that learning AppleScript is easy or obvious. Instead, the book teaches and documents the language in a clear and rigorous manner, just as you'd expect with any programming or scripting language. AppleScript is a dynamic, object-oriented scripting system that allows... |

- I am trying to logically organise stories in my head for you and I thought Pinback [1] was a good a place as any to start... In order to get to LA by train from Philadelphia, one takes a train to Chicago, has an 8 hour layover there and then gets on a new, double-decker train, bound for California. Asher [2] was in Chicago, so after my 8am arrival, I followed his shitty, but sarcastically brilliant directions, and got on the L to his Dad's house. This is approximately the moment in time when I fell in Love with Chicago for the 3rd time. It's just such a beautiful city, so clean, easy to navigate and secretly articulating a sense of safety. |

- Simon makes a note of the rather interesting-looking LUFS-Python, a tool for writing filesystems in Python. He says: bq. At first glance, this is a bit of a gimmick – why would you want to write your own filesystem in the first place? |

- Ok, I've said it twice already this year (or should have): I've just seen a most remarkable and kick-ass film! "The Station Agent" is a beautiful, honest, un-contrived, funny, intelligent, very well-done film and I highly recommend you rush out and see it immediately. Peter Dinklage, Bobby Cannavale and Patricia Clarkson (also in "Pieces of April" and last year's best film, "Far From Heaven" and one day she'll be in one of my movies) are great. Don't even close your web browser - run now! |
