A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.
Remember the Milk, the great online to-do list manager, has added support for Google Gears - meaning you can now Get Things Done on (underground) trains and (very overground) planes and other non-Intynetified places.
Wowza, MacZot is selling Jaikoz MP3 tagger for $12.95 today. It looks like a pretty amazing MP3 tagging system - it also hooks in to MusicBrainz and MusicIP’s Acoustic ID to identify tracks.
Tim Bray has an analysis of O’Reilly’s “State of the Computer Book Market”. I don’t put tremendous value on these, as I’ve written before, because use of a language or technology does not necessarily correlate with buying a book on the subject.
It looks like Americans are catching on to unlocked phones. I haven’t actually unlocked my phone - I haven’t needed to - but I like that I can for probably not more than £15.
NetNewsWire 3.0 has just been released. It supports microformats, has improved performance and has a new look. Nice, but I’ve just switched to Google Reader because of the Google Gears integration!
I wonder whether the accompanying photograph for this Valleywag post is going over the heads of some of our trans-Atlantic friends. I certainly found it funny! Of course, Wikipedia is there to provide context.
Palm have just released a new Bluetooth keyboard for us long-suffering Palm users. I’m using an infra-red keyboard and it works fine for me, but it’s good to know that there’s a BT one available also.
Shelley Powers has some smart things to say about the open sourcing of Movable Type. I’m glad that MT is open source - as it’s actually a pretty cool platform. It looks like TypePad and LiveJournal have paid off for Six Apart. Good for them. They are actually something of an anomaly - a software company rather than a Valley-funded media company.
