I had a great talk this afternoon with Darrell Smith, the CTO of Streamcast, the company that makes Morpheus. When we get together we talk for hours. Darrell just bought three Mac OS X machines. He said it felt like a homecoming. He's been looking for another platform to support with his software. Anyway, we went far and wide and swung around to desktop websites, a subject near and dear to my heart. He wondered why more Mac developers weren't using the combo of PHP and Apache that comes bundled with every Mac. I think it's just a matter of time before Unix developers get there. Users like apps that run in the browser. When I read Brent's idea for an app that walks through different parts of the Unix underneath the Mac desktop I thought "that's a pretty natural application for Apache and PHP." 

A picture named shirleyTemple.gifA Forest Gump-like moment. Waiting in line at the pharmacy this morning. A short 70ish woman was getting instructions on how to use an inhaler. She was confused, after getting it to work (it took a few tries), she said she felt dizzy, and left the store. Another person asked if that was Shirley Temple Black. I thought "no way," but the clerk behind the counter said it was.  

Buzz Bruggeman tells his side of the PC Forum real-time weblog story. "I kept checking the guys’ blogs, only to note that the whine factor from Nacchio had been turned up about 8 'Nacchs', and here I was reading where he had sold about $337 million of Qwest stock while it sunk like a stone." 

I've started a new mail list for review of the Radio UserLand chapters in the O'Reilly weblog book. Some of the initial comments on the radio-dev list were quite alarming. I don't have the time or will to get deep into this, but I wanted to provide a venue for people who care to help Scott and his editors get the story right. 

I'm only pointing to this page because it's on a Manila site.

Sony, Sony, Sony 

Matt Goyer: "Telling someone to draw on their CD with a pen could mean you'll spend the rest of your life in jail."

Sony: "Burn data, music and images on CDs or watch DVDs at home or on the go."
