I can do a moblog just like Russell Beattie and Joi Ito, except in this case we used Takeshi's camera, he emailed me the pics and then I posted them.

Lunch today at The Linwood Grille was fun.

There's me in the left hand picture, and Richard and Takeshi in the one on the right.
Inside the new Macintosh 12" PowerBook.

The Motorola T720 comes with a plastic belt clip that I liked. It's the grey one on the left. Message board traffic warns against using this one, saying that the phone can pop out of the attached holster.

Oh no.

Don't want that.

So I went over to my Verizon Store and picked up a nice leather holster. This holster wraps all the way around the phone so there is no chance of the phone popping out. There is a problem though, the belt clip, shown above on the right, can't accomodate a belt!

If you hook the belt clip on a belt, the bottom of the clip remains open. So now instead of the phone popping out of the holder, the whole holder might fall right off your belt.

What's the deal with that! How can you have a belt clip that doesn't attach to a belt?

One other thing, the grey clip doesn't fit on the leather holster either.

Blah.

Like that old game from, like the 70's, only this one is for Mac OS X, and doesn't require batteries. Unless, I suppose, you're using a PowerBook.
Fun. I guess it doesn't even need instructions for those of us who never played the original version.

My first score was 1, my second was 5.

Beat that. :-)

And what better way for Fox to make more oodles than to arrange a switcheroo at the end? Meaning: Let's give this guy a one and six zeroes and put the joke on the audience, not just the gals.
Oh, that would be great.

So this is how they made that commercial with Michael Jordan, the young Michael Jordan, and the even younger Michael Jordan. They used Kevin Daley and a lot of computer processing power. I wonder if the Celtics would be interested in Kevin?
