I'm moving a week from today. I've moved four times in the past five years and my intention is for this to be the last move for several years. My wife calls the house we bought our first "real" house. I'm just happy to have a garage and my own home office.
Lots of intersting things going on that I've been too busy moving to blog about, so here's the abreviated version.
Google maps is open for business. It's an example of how taking a good service to a great service really makes a difference. I'll never use Mapquest or Yahoo! Maps again!
Microsoft released a particularly nasty round of patches this month. Plenty of worm food...
The SciFi channel renewed Battlestar Galactica for a second season. If you haven't seen this show yet, tune in! It's the best new SciFi program in a long time. Next weekend after the move is over I'm planning on an eight hour marathon of all the episodes so far this season. SciFi re-ran the first five one night last week and I'm abstaining from watching the following three episodes until then.
An interesting prediction about the future of Microsoft based on the changing emotional connection between consumers and the company.
The latest CRYPTO-GRAM is out from Bruce Schneier. Schneier is one of those rare people who is not only an expert in his field (computer security and cryptography) but also able to articulate what he knows in a meaningful way. His latest book, Beyond Fear, is a worthy read. It provides a sensible framework for thinking and acting sensibly about security (both online and offline).
I got the iPod kit installed in my car. Checkout the live action shot!
