New PowerBook Ordered (Apr 30 2004 01:24 GMT) - I always said that when I finished the book that I'd get myself a new notebook. Early on, I expected that'd mean a ThinkPad T40 or something similar but that all changed a little while ago. Thanks to an ADC hardware discount, I've finally ordered the new hardware. The order I placed via Apple Store is: PowerBook 1. |

Who are the bad guys again? (Apr 30 2004 01:22 GMT) - So it looks like we're turning Fallujah over to a former Iraqi general who was governor of Anbar province (where Fallujah is located) and was former military adviser to Chemical Ali. When we said we were letting former Baath party members start working with the new government, I thought we meant school teachers, postmen, and other such people. I didn't know we meant Baath party insiders like General Salah. It sounds to me like we're turning security in Fallujah over to the insurgents for all intents and purposes. Maybe it will work out better than what we've tried out up til now. |

I'm not a big fan of the copyright industry, but ... (Apr 30 2004 01:22 GMT) - I was a bit shocked to read the following at Cafe au Lait today: On the other hand I've yet to figure out why Apple expects me to pay $0.99 for songs that can be downloaded for free from many other places. Perhaps Steve Jobs took too many engineering classes and too few classes in economics. The odd thing was that this wasn't written by a high schooler who has no money outside his allowance but rather by a computer book author who makes what one would assume is a decent sized chunk of his income by selling copyrighted works. |

More of the White House ignoring science (Apr 30 2004 01:22 GMT) - The White House, ignoring the scientific consensus, and indeed, basic common sense, is classifying hatchery bred salmon as wildlife for the purposes of deciding whether wild salmon should be protected under the endangered species act. In short, this is just another step toward the complete despoiling of West coast river habitats. |

Yankee go home (Apr 30 2004 01:22 GMT) - USA Today has depressing news from Iraq, in the form of a poll that shows that the majority of Iraq want Americans to get the Hell out of their country. When this all started, it was generally believed that what America would need was the willingness to stay the course and help enforce the peace in Iraq for years. It seems apparent at this point that if we're Iraq much longer, it will be as part of an unwelcome occupation rather than as an appreciated stabilizing force on the country. Before the war, I had no confidence that the Bush administration would succeed in its efforts, it's too allergic to feedback, accountability, and pragmatism. What I feared most, though, is that we'd pull out before a real democracy was established, leaving an Iraqi version of Islam Karimov in charge. |

Bob Moog Documentary (Apr 30 2004 01:22 GMT) - Bob Moog documentary looks great. The video clips from the new Bob Moog (inventor of the Moog synthesizer) documentary (titled "moog") are very exciting. Can't wait to see it. He says inventing things is a combination of "discovering and witnessing." (As an aside, isn't "Moog" a great name. |
