Not abandoned, just busy with life.
Random stuff on twitter - avoiding “I had chili for lunch” messages - but should dust this thing off..
Killer iPhones

I sleep with one eye open when the iPhone is near.
See threat #1 at the 5:43 mark.
Nice shot on the Zune, too.

Slightly cooler than F-14 flybys, I’ll admit.
App Store Live
Posted on July 10th, 2008 by Dave Goldblatt
Well, through someone else’s clever means I have the 2.0 firmware early, and am impressed with the App Store so far.
Apple Remote is kinda cool, NetNewsWire works well, AIM is, well, AIM.
Next to try is OmniFocus..
Oh, yeah. And the 3G comes out tomorrow. Sigh.
Ice, Ice Baby!

“Dice-size crumbs of bright material have vanished from inside a trench where they were photographed by NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander four days ago, convincing scientists that the material was frozen water that vaporized after digging exposed it.”
Sweet. (apologies for the 1990 flashback)
What is good tequila?
Posted on June 19th, 2008 by Dave Goldblatt
Great introduction here.
I used to be in the camp of “tequila == Cuervo == bad hangover”; thanks to a co-worker my ignorance has been corrected. I’m partial to Patrón Añejo for an evening drink (or the Macallan 12 year).
Chuck still can’t convince me Jägermeister is good, though.
Phoenix rising

The Phoenix Mars Lander has successfully landed on the Red Planet, surviving the ’seven minutes of terror’ without a hitch.
That is a seriously cool piece of engineering work; congratulations to Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, and the University of Arizona, Tucson!
Jon Lester

At Fenway Park last night for Jon Lester’s no-hitter. He didn’t look great during the first three innings, but after that he seemed to just get stronger as the game went on.
Best seats I’ve had at Fenway - eight rows behind home plate. What a blast. I’ve never seen the park that full until the end of the game; good thing I scored parking on the westbound side of Beacon Street.
Also a good chance to play with the D300. Funny how most of my pictures actually have the Nikon sign in them!
Haven’t we heard this before?

It’s deja vu all over again! Or, maybe, 1994.

Apparently “John Mayer” is the secret password at Apple?
