I just ordered a Kindle. I’d been holding off until more reviews came in, and in a weird reverse devil’s advocate sort of turn, Scoble’s ridiculous rant made me buy one just to spite him. Surprisingly, he didn’t mention the theoretical DRM issue. It’s when he starting whining that the Kindle didn’t come equipped with its own Social Network(tm) that I knew this was a device I could live with. A Social Network in my books?

Gruber says So the Kindle proposition is this: You pay for downloadable books that can’t be printed, can’t be shared, and can’t be displayed on any device other than Amazon’s own $400 reader — and whether they’re readable at all in the future is solely at Amazon’s discretion Here’s the thing, if the experience of purchasing and reading books on the Kindle is great, none of the objections matter.

Jessica was born 19 years ago today. I've been thankful for that every day since. I love you sweets. Happy Birthday!

Would someone please buy one of these so I can drive it? Order one here

I remember the days when Subversion was introduced and solved many of the problems plaguing the aging CVS. Here was something new, familiar and better. I jumped right in. Subversion does pretty much everything we need doesn’t it? It doesn’t have merge tracking, and that sucks, but it’s scheduled for 1.5 right? So then tell me, why does everyone alluvasudden want to start using Git? I’ll tell you why: It’s because the geeks are bored with Subversion.

I’m searching my iTunes library and listening to songs whose titles contain specific colors. Current Color: “black”

A short time ago, our friends at Joe Cartoon launched Blender Poll 2008. It’s funny, topical, irreverent, and there are bones sticking out. It’s always nice when we get to work on projects that make us laugh – and Joe always makes us laugh.

There’s almost no point in keeping my own weblog these days. All the hosted tools are getting so damn good. Case in point, Tumblr 3.0. All sorts of great new stuff. Here’s mine at jackbaty.tumblr.com. Even better, try the archive view. Check their post about all this new stuff.

My GRD has had a broken LCD for months. I’ve been putting off the expensive repair on the off chance that Ricoh would release an updated version of this great little camera. Well, they just did. Why am I going to immediately spend $700 a GRD II? Under 4-second RAW write times with a buffer (vs 11 seconds on the GRD) Flash compensation 1:1 shooting, and available in RAW

I’ve been using OmniFocus for a while as my GTD weapon of choice and it’s a lovely app. As a matter of fact it is too much of a lovely app. OmniFocus is one of those things that makes it fun to tweak and play endlessly. That there’s the problem; I’m guilty of playing with the system rather than using it. Again. Enter Hog Bay Software’s TaskPaper. This thing is basically a formatting engine/UI wrapped around simple text files.
