My prototyping team bought one of those Walmart Lindows machines to play around with and I remember being impressed, especially with the way a user could find and install software packages. I think the machine sold for some trivial amount,

Although I can’t remember exactly which beach—it may have been Copalis or Ruby, both on the Washington coast—from which a friend of mine and I took off and landed behind the point where we took off. A strong, and steady headwind off the P

This is a marvelous resource. Although I have no real use for them, I am fascinated by microphones and have been lucky enough to see some phenomenal microphone collections at various studios around the world.

In the large-scale video post-production facilities I worked in the 80s and early 90s, almost all the cables — miles and miles — were artfully laced with black linen flat lacing cord. One chief engineer in particular would sometimes loudly

The worst ones I face are the Acura MDX “jewel eye” LED headlights. They are terrible whether oncoming or following. I can tell from a long way away that it’s an MDX.

At Microsoft, it is an empirical but widely-held belief that if you are an important part of a profitable division, you are a lot less likely to be RIFF'd. That said, I do know—what I considered to be—a valuable 31-year dev of MS Offic
