All my blog posts and articles
glenn has been busy today. A series of very intriguing posts, all made today, a Sunday no less. I can remember when glenn insisted on keeping his Sunday’s clear of anything non-recreational. You should check out his [blog](http://www.furia.com/page.cgi?type=...
Read more →This is only a little funny because Mac fans (and I am one of them) can be very smug about OS X security, saying things like: “There has been not a single case of a virus on Mac, ever.” Hard to prove or disprove but intuitively it’s kind of hard to believe. So when I saw commentary somewher...

I guess because deep down I am still a paranoid Windows user, my OS X is configured to automatically reboot every Saturday at 7:00am, “just to clear out the cobwebs.” A very handy setting by the way, which I wish that Windows XP also had. Am I imagining this? Last week I turned off my Mac – turned off the power – because I was going to be away for a week. When I returned I found that it seems to have rebooted itself on Saturday as it does every Saturday. Can this be? It was off! I dunno, maybe I just imagined having powered it off a week ago… Technorati Tags: osx
I’ve discovered how hard it is to work on a laptop with a tiny screen, 1.2GHz and, esepcially, 256Mb of memory. Sloooooow! I’ve been keeping up with emails but not really getting into a blogging mindset. This is just a cheat post to make my blog not appear dead 🙂 Curacao? Those of you who know me, know. Those who do not, probably don’t know where Curacao is. Look it up on a map. A little island (and I mean little) in the Caribean, right off the coast of South America. It’s where I was born and grew up,so I get back here regularly. Nice.
Adam Green has two very insightful posts about Mashups inspired at Mashup Camp: > All of this is very cool. At least that is what one side of my brain says. The other side is saying “How the hell is the average person going to understand any ...
Read more →You probably already follow TechCrunch but if you don’t take a look at Flyspy, a very clever new idea for adding very useful information to booking flights online. > “The way it works is that I give it a departure city and a destination city and optionally a departure date and length of stay.

Read more →Even as we speak, Mashup Camp is going on out on the West Coast. Looks like fun! It’s another in the sequence of ad-hoc, QAD meetings/conferences/events that are popping up all over. Very cool. Wish I was there: Adam Green on Mashup Camp Matt Harrison on Mashup Camp How to use BlogBridge to follow Mashup Camp Technorati Tags: mashup, mashupcamp
The Freakonomics blog often has good stuff in it, even if you haven’t read the book, which also has good stuff in it. > “Mitai Sandy, a 29-year-old graphic artist and comic-book publisher in Tel Aviv, came up with the following solution: a new anti-Semitic cartoon co...
Read more →This one was probably one of the most talked about sites. The principle is, Flickr is nice, but no one really wants to take the time to tag. So instead, with Riya, after you upload your images, you can search for them based on who is in them and where they were taken. But the trick is that it uses image recognition to help you locate the pictures. Pretty impressive! Check out Riya.
Funny.

For those of you who came, thanks for joining us. For those of you who didn’t come, you missed out! I think we had about 30 people (but didn’t count) and...
I got this in an email, not sure exactly where it came from but it’s pretty cool. The image looks like it’s moving, doesn’t it? But actually it’s not an animation at all. It’s your brain that getting its circuits scrambled. You know how you can tell? Just cover most of the image with your hands and look at a small part. It doesn’t move. Amusing!
