I'm afraid I have to agree with this CNet article. I'm just not into podcasts, though things might be different for music podcasts. I just find the written word is so much easier to fit into my schedule. I can skim over things, or skip over things, as I please. Plus I can full-out read the same information as would be in a podcast much faster than I can listen to it. I'll keep an eye on the technology, certainly, but I'm not ready to adopt just yet.
I wish I'd thought of this. The guy submerged all his PC hardware (minus hard/disk drives, of course) in mineral oil. I constantly have cooling problems with my desktop PC. I may adopt this solution, depending on how brave I feel. Maybe in a few years when most parts are pretty ready to be replaced anyway.
AmbImb has a good conversation going about blogging summer jobs. In my case, don't expect much. First, they won't be that exciting. Plus I have at least one, probably two, confidentiality provisions in my contract(s).
I've just signed up for Skype, a way to use the internet to have voice conversations. My Skype Name is "macknzie" for anyone interested. Feel free to sign up yourself, if you haven't already. Free worldwide phone calls? Sounds great! A huge part of what sold me is that they have a PocketPC version, turning my PDA into a cell phone when it's connected to a Wi-Fi network. I'm considering using the SkypeIn service, which gives a number people can call me using their regular phones. I just have to decide a) if it is worth the cost, and b) where I want the phone number to be based out of. My friends and family are pretty much spread around the country, so there's no place that would set them all up.
ACSBlog has an article addressing the same general topic as I did on this rant.
I don't care about Michael Jackson. I care that children may have been victimized, and I hope the system gets to the bottom of it, but I don't have much confidence given the effects of celebrity and wealth. As far as learning about the system, the most public cases are probably the least typical.
Incubus was recommended to me from my Last.fm page, so I've been checking it out a bit lately. I'm ambvalent. I like some of it, but not all of it. We'll see.
I dreamed the other night I had a Tablet PC. I think I cried a little when I woke up to the cold, harsh light of reality. And the cold, harsh light of my impending contracts exam.
Speaking of which, contracts is done, and I feel that I did adequately on the final. One more to go, but it's Civil Procedure. And we can't use our outline, only the Federal Rules supplement. Post-It tabs, here I come.
I'd like to say that this picture was taken months ago.
I would like to say that's a shot out my window in February, or even March but - and I think you know where I'm going here - I can't say that. All I can say was this was the view from my window on Wednesday, May Eleventh, 2005 at approximately 8:00 PM, Mountain Daylight Time. Enough said.
