If I weren’t such a big fan of my Powerbook, I would seriously consider getting a Dana Wireless. It looks like a very useful, on-the-go writing tool.

New iMac…

iMac G5’s are here. I’m not sure if I like the new look. From the sides and back it looks good, but that bar at the bottom is a bit thick on the front. Also, I wonder why they don’t have any pictures of it with the keyboard and mouse dangling [...]
Retaking the Universe

File this under More Books: My friend Trevor brought my attention to this on his blog not that long ago. As soon as I saw his mention of Retaking the Universe: William S. Burroughs in the Age of Globalization, I ordered it. It arrived today. I’m placing it on top of [...]
Jittery nerves…
Aug.30, 2004 in
General
Tomorrow is the first day of my class. Although I am feeling confident and eager to get back into the teaching-saddle, I have a slight bit of pre-first-day nerves. I feel similar to the night before a large trip, when you run through everything in your head to make sure that you didn’t [...]

Little makes a workday more pointless than no internet connectivity whatsoever.
UPS for Poweroutage computing…
Aug.30, 2004 in
General
This is a pretty cool story. One of the reasons that I love laptops is the battery. There’s always a built-in UPS of sorts, so kicking the plug out of the wall or tripping the circuit breaker doesn’t erase that unsaved file that you’ve been working on. After reading some of the [...]
Buying Books…

After working on my dissertation for a good chunk of hours this morning, this afternoon Kristin and I escaped and went shopping in White Plains. We bought some needed things for the apartment with gift certificates from the bridal shower. We stopped by Barnes & Noble, because she had a Starbucks gift certificate and [...]
GmailFS

General
I wonder how difficult it would be to port GmailFS to Mac OS X. It’s Python, and from what I can tell, most of the libraries are portable. I don’t have time to do it myself, but if someone does, please let me know about it!

General
I haven’t received my Robosapien yet, although I did receive shipping confirmation via email. It is scheduled to be delivered on Friday. In the meantime, I’ve found a few interesting resources for hacking my Robosapien: this hacks and mods site and this discussion forum. Update: another site with moves. I’ll [...]

POSTMASTER: DESTROY IF UNDELIVERABLE
Aug.27, 2004 in
General
Just wanted to note this oddity: I received my copy of the PMLA Directory in the mail today, and as I was removing the plastic wrapping, I noticed a large notice across the front, which read “POSTMASTER: DESTROY IF UNDELIVERABLE.” Now, I’m stuck here wondering if this is a common instruction to the [...]
