- It's been a busy, and (for a change) upbeat, winter, so my posting has been very light this past month. Our holidays were very cheerful - we spent Christmas day at Julia's family home, and then the day after with my mother. The gift exchange was more enjoyable for some reason this year, and everyone seemed to appreciate what they got. Julia's father gave me an unexpected ring, one he's worn for years - I guess we're getting married! I've always avoided hand jewelrly because of the ammoutn of keyboard time I log, but the ring fits perfectly and wears easily, so I'm sure it'll become a permanent accoutrement. |

- A Macworld wish list. The writers at the MacDevCenter offer their Macworld wish list today, offering some interesting ideas along the way. My single wish: That Apple work to make its beta testing program more vigorous [Mac Net Journal] I would second this wish, with the further hope that upgrades don't cause a loss of functionality. Over the weekend, I discovered that my recently upgraded G3 laptop (lombard), can no longer play DVD's. |

- So months after wondering what this integrated "Rip, Mix, Burn" technology in OS X is all about, I finally got around to making a movie -- Mr. Willem's First Christmas. It was astonishingly easy to make. It took a couple hours of shooting with a Sony DV Cam, and then a couple hours editing. Sound directly integrates with iTunes. |

- "Imagine the discussions that must have gone on around the invention of the telephone: a new medium for delivering content directly to households. Indeed, that was exactly how some people did use it. In Budapest you could pick up the telephone and listen to music and news until the first world war... It didn't turn out that way because people preferred listening to each other: |

- I have a little problem here: somehow Google thinks that one of my entries which was titled "Happy New Year" is among the world's most useful hits when it comes to searching for "new year flash". Unfortunately that page is completly boring as it doesn't offer anything useful. More that 1500 people where already looking for e-cards or screensavers or desktop backgrounds on this page. So if you know a good source for those - could you please add them to the comments on that page? |

- The very things I do so willingly in real life cripple me when they're part of an assignment. While in this incapacitated state the very structure of my brain changes and I am suddenly filled with a sense of euphoric wonderment in the most mundane things. Everything becomes fascinating because fascination is a relative thing. This is why people are able to read a the March 1983 edition of Highlights Magazine when they're in the dentist office (a decent issue, don't misunderstand). Right now I'm late for a deadline, and my agent has been making my phone ring. |

- Det ser ut til at jeg har klart å motstå fristelsen for å kjøpe en Nokia 6600 dette året, men det spørs om det holder ut over vinteren. Så langt er jeg veldig fornøyd med min Siemens S55, men det er for lite minne på den. Grunnen til at jeg foretrekker Siemens er at de har vært flinke til å gjøre teknisk dokumentasjon tilgjengelig for oss som liker å fikle. |

- An Israeli helicopter fired two missiles at a car carrying militants from the violent Islamic Hamas, wounding 11 people despite earlier reports that Israel and the militant group had reached an agreement to halt violence. Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin said Israel would pay a heavy price for Tuesday's attack. |

- Christopher makes his wish: "My ideal service would have the the multiple professional affiliation features of LinkedIn, but also allow me to show non-professional affilations. It would allow me to form intentional communities like Tribes.Net, but would also let me do a Wiki in addition to a message board. It would have meeting/party invite services like eVite, and blogging features like LiveJournal. |
