What do iPods have to do with Broadband Tech?
For everyday consumers to capitalize on the emerging broadband technologies, the REAL direction Apple wants to progress things, means providing tools for creation and delivery. For those who wish to create content and deliver it via broadband, either as a subscription or pay-per-access, this presents opportunities that will certainly fuel growth of this new market.
Nice thread over at MacCentral.

Check the Grid - Movie Reviews.
There's a grid for checking out movies.
Fall 2002 US TV Schedule Grid.
I always enjoy looking forward to a new Fall TV season.

The grid has the new Fall 2002 broadcast TV schedule. Too bad cable shows aren't included.

TV Guide has a grid too. This one lets you click on the new shows.

Let's watch TV!

Saturday: There's probably something on cable.

Sunday: Futurama, The Simpsons, Alias, Monk (on USA) is the funniest thing to hit TV since Lenny Clarke on The Job.

Monday: Boston Public: Joey McIntyre will rule!

Tuesday: 24, NYPD Blue

Wednesday: Enterprise, The Bachelor 2, Some medical program: flip a coin.

Thursday: I liked that Dinotopia movie, might be more fun to watch than Survivor: Thailand. Maybe they could introduce little dinosaurs to Survivor, that I'd watch! I'll have to check out Do Over.

Push, Nevada, ER. That Bibb babe from Popular joins the show in week two. Go Carter!

Friday: Firefly, John Doe. Too bad Hack and That Was Then are also on at the same time. I'll start with Fox because of their strong lead in show that provides a strong audience for John Doe. That's their plan and I don't have to change the channel either.

Alexander Keith's Beer.
His beer is my favorite beer. Too bad you can't get it here in the states.

When my cousins come down from Nova Scotia they bring some down for us.

Mmm... Beer.

My Planetfall Card
The Infocom Gallery: Planetfall.
"Join the Patrol, and see the Galaxy!" You took the poster's advice, bait and all, and marched right over to the recruitment station near your home on the backwater planet of Gallium.
Hey! My card has the same number as the one on this website! I thought mine was special.
Personality Test.
You are quite willing to accept certain risks and to make a strong commitment in exchange for interesting and varied work.
I'm not afraid to commit.

Jimmy Carter's UFO Sighting.
F-16s Pursue Unknown Craft Over Region.
"It was this object, this light-blue object, traveling at a phenomenal rate of speed," Rogers said. "This Air Force jet was right behind it, chasing it, but the object was just leaving him in the dust. I told my neighbor, 'I think those jets are chasing a UFO.' "
As Steve Martin would say, "What the hell was that?"

Amoebas attack boy's brain.
Going to Florida?

Don't forget to pack the nose plugs!

I'm serious.
A Walk Through Jamaica Pond
A Walk Through Jamaica Pond.
Well, not actually through the pond, but more like around it.

Here's the first 'roll' of pictures I took with my new Canon GL2 digital camera. I know I'm late to the digital picture party, but I've been happy with my old film camera for a long time.

If I knew how much fun it is to take digital photos vs. film, I'd have jumped on this bandwagon a long time ago. Back in the old days, I had a 35mm Minolta SRT 101 camera. It was a tank. Mostly made of metal. I was the yearbook photographer in High School and a newspaper photographer in college.

After that, I mostly took family pictures. At any family affair, I was the designated photogtrapher.

So now I have this new camera. It is amazing. It's really made to take movies, but also has a digital still camera built in.

I've got it programmed to make a 'click' sound when I press the shutter.

Depending on the resolution, you can take up to almost 100 pictures. the cool thing is that you don't have to worry about wasting film. It's always in the back of your mind. Should I take this photo, or should I wait for a better shot. Well, with digital, you can take as many shots as you like and keep the ones you want.

The 100x digital zoom on this camera is amazing. Allowed me to get some really cool shots.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest 2002 Results.
Winner: Romance.
Hermann lay with Esmerelda, entwined with one another among love-tangled sheets and he thought how this one constant yet mercurial woman was one whom he could hold in his arms forever, although eventually he'd have to get up to go to the bathroom.
