Now where's Lulu? There she is!

I've moved the Fotozilla blog over to blog.fotozilla.com. There's a short redirect as I figure out a couple of things. See you there...all two of you. (And, by "two of you" I mean, me and my dog.)

chuck norris once bit the head off an eagle
just to see what was inside.
then he surgically reattached the head.
that eagle is now the senior senator from vermont.

fyi:

chuck norris invented the jury system
his original version had 24 jurors
when six of them tried to dodge the duty, he killed 12 to make the point that:
chuck norris loves democracy.

Want an iPhone? Beware the iHandcuffs - New York Times: "The only legal way around this built-in limitation [of music purchased at the iTunes store] is to strip out the copy protection by burning a CD with the tracks, then uploading the music back to the computer. If you’re willing to go to that trouble, you can play the music where and how you choose — the equivalent to rights that would have been granted automatically at the cash register if you had bought the same music on a CD in the first place."

Yes, but isn't this what most people do with their CD's anyway? So why is working around the iTunes limits such a burden?

I've been waiting (WAITING!) for this thing for years. Now it is here and I'm really bummed. Not about the phone itself, which out to be very cool, but that Apple's chosen to go with Cingular. I hear very little good about them, but your experience may be different. I'd like to see how many sales they're losing by not opening up the phone to more carriers.

While watching the keynote by Steve Jobs, I wondered why he didn't make more out of the iPhone as a PDA or a Palm substitute, specifically in the calendaring area. At one point, unless I mis-heard, he mentioned iCal then said he'd return to it. He didn't. Part of that might be due to iCal's lameness in several areas. The app goes so far, then no more, or shunts you off into the way Apple thinks is best. And, syncing with a Palm? Less than ideal. Is this fixed in the iPhone? I have no idea, but it doesn't look like that aspect of the device is at the top of Jobs/Ivy's prioriy list. (If anything, pimping the iPhones usefulness as a PDA would have added another device to the list during the pricing justification part of the keynote address.)

Don't get me wrong, I'm as big an Apple fanboy as the next Apple fanboy, but at the end of the day the choices Apple has made regarding their re-invented phone have really left me flat. I'd hate to think Apple went with Cingular just because they could keep a secret and dissed the calendaring/scheduling aspect because it is not a sexy as watching Pirates of the Caribbean. But sometimes Apple does makes great products and then finishes them off with a WTF moment. (Another of them, Merlin Mann addresses over at 43folders.com .)

Hello, Lauren!

(Yea! And that was fast.)

Still experimenting with the Flickr thing.

You know, when I finally get ALL this digital media crap and web sites and blogs and iPhoto and iPods and whatever organized and flowing, I'll be dead. Run over by a milk truck.

Truly. truly...

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Oh, the huge manatee!
