08/20 TextMate and Ruby — I’m an on and off [tag]Ruby[/tag] developer, and recently I’ve been trying to decide whether I should use Eclipse for Ruby development or whether TextMate (I am on a Mac) is better. Why even think of [tag]Eclipse[/tag]? Simply that I know it well and it’s very rich for developing Java. It’s also cro...
08/19 Would this have saved JFK Jr? — Check out this post from James Fallows: > A small plane apparently crashed last night on Nantucket Island. First reports are never quite right, but it appears that the weather was terrible — dark; very low clouds; mist and fog; sea, sky, and land in a blur. These are deadly conditions to fly in, and the same conditions in the same area killed John F. Kennedy Jr. 8 years ago.* (from: Would this have saved JFK Jr?)

08/14 “The Most Expensive Bidder” — [tag]Funny[/tag]! I saw this in Dilbert this weekend. I’ve lived this myself. And I’ve been accused of “you make competing sound bad.” They may have a point, I don’t know.
07/14 iPhone pricing detail — I was chatting with my neighborhood iPhone (Cingular/AT&T) dealer and learned this interesting detail (which all you hard code iPhone fanatics out there I am sure know all about.) The price of an iPhone ($500 and $700) is the same whether you are activating a new service with Cingular or want to use...
07/09 Join the club: I saw, I touched, an iPhone — I am not going to write yet another long review or commentary. But I can’t resist a few crass words: - It’s real and it works. They had 4 of them in stock at my neighborhood ATT/Cingular shop. It is indeed gorgeous. Sleek, star-trekky. It does everything you see in the ads (and I am sure, much muc...
07/09 The Science of Large Breasts, and Other Evolutionary Verities — Hey, don’t blame me, I’m just posting a pointer to this interesting story over that the ever-legitimate Freakonomics Blog. The depths to which people will sink to get certain words and images on their blogs, it’s just outragous. Shameful. Check out [this post](http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Freakon...
07/03 Label printer very handy around the office — A few years ago I got the idea to get myself a label printer for around the office. Turns out that it’s been really really handy. Almost all the labels that I’ve printed have been for the myriad of cables, chargers and other doo-dads that one accumulates...
06/22 AAPL: Short or Long? — With all the unbelievable hoopla around the imminent release of the iPhone my thinking turns to the APPL stock price. Right now the Apple stock price at an all time high of $123.00 per share. The iPhone is coming out in one week. What will the stock price do?...
06/16 Back pain relief or fraud? — A friend of mine has been experiencing debilitating back pain for a year now. He’s seen pain specialists, surgeons and so on, and so far the only treatment has been pain medications, strong ones. He is desperate. He recently came across an advertisement for treatment with a device called the DRX 900...
