April 2006 Notes Archive
Five foreign (not American) films I’ve seen in the past year that were great: The Story of the Weeping Camel, The Consequences of Love, The Return, The Descent, A Taste of Cherry.
The Worst President in History? “One of America’s leading historians assesses George W. Bush” Link to this now.
Lance Arthur celebrates 10 years online. Lance is one of the big reasons I became a web designer and started my own site. Give it up for the glassdog.
Mark Pilgrim is blogging again. I love Mark’s work and writing so I’m very happy to see him back on the scene.
It’s been quiet here as I’ve been super busy. I’m on holiday next week so I’ll apologize a head of time for the lack of linkage around here. Stuff in the pipe, I promise.
Noticed today on my Backpack: “The #1 request from the survey was a calendar. We’re working on that right now! A calendar is coming to Backpack. Stay tuned.” A calendar is indeed what’s missing from Backpack. After that’s added, I can’t imagine needing anything else to organize my life.
Hell yeah! “More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac.” Bootcamp Public Beta. Macs do Windows too.
If Japan’s Aozora Bank Ltd. is switching to Macs, so can you: “Bill Chute, Aozora’s chief technology officer, says the company decided to go with Macs because of Apple’s latest operating system, Mac OS X, which has made the machines more stable and functional for many business users.”
After chaning the way I group my subscribed feeds at least five times, I finally decided to simplify. I now have three groups: Must Read (things I really must read), Everything Else (if there was only time) and Watching (Everything Else that’s specifically related to me). Three groups. Simple.
