- 2008-06-17: In This Week in Tech #147, John C. Dvorak displays vast ignorance regarding investing or water supply. Can we believe anything he says?
- 2008-06-17: In my search for high-quality science fiction, I have found Vernor Vinge. I’ve started A Deepness in the Sky, which is excellent so far.
- 2008-06-17: I installed Firefox 3 on my MacBook Pro this evening (when I could finally download it). It’s a nice improvement over version 2.
- 2008-06-18: In July, the 8-GB iPhone will cost $199, whereas the 8-GB iPod Touch currently costs $299. I predict a new, lower price for the iPod Touch.
- 2008-06-18: Michael G Schwern has posted his YAPC presentation on skimmable Perl code — lots of good practices.
- 2008-06-20: I’m still reading A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. This is a great science fiction book–I’m taking my time so it won’t end too soon.
- 2008-06-20: What I really dislike about the MacBook Pro: The lid doesn’t open as far as it did on the old PowerBook. I can’t get the screen angle right.
- 2008-06-20: In the Firefox 3.0, 2nd bookmark in “most visited” is twitter.com, labeled as “Twitter / Over capacity”. A bug?: I can’t override the label.
