Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I already read about some people who say that they're going to ditch their laptops, and buy a desktop computer and a iPad. Don't know how prevalent that will be, though.

Coding and Sleeping

Oh, I think the iPad will do well, I just don't think it's the next iPhone or iPod. Primarily because of the iPhone and iPod.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, o_a. I'll take a look later and see if I can use Component. I think the tv may have that option.

Hey. New board.

You can now completely disable Google Buzz in one click if you want. Too late for some people, but I'm glad I held off trying to undo all their stupid automatic stuff manually.

Do we know if that will kill your follows/following in Google Reader? Cause that I actually want to continue to use.

Seriously, I only hit that once.

Hey. New board.

It looks like it might. Google made a classic mistake and combined too many things that should have been kept separate, it seems.

The button deleted your profile and removes all followers completely.

Oh Google. Way to make a classic blunder.

(They'll probably do much better in that land war in Asia...)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I found this PDF very interesting:

Hardware: Looking Back From the 1980s At Computers In Education

"As someone who went to high school in the '80s, this newsletter from 1980 (PDF) is a blast from the past. An interview with Microsoft talks up its BASIC language product and predicts voice control of computers in five years. Advertisements for Compute magazine, which was about to go monthly, and an article about a computer 'network' in Minnesota that connects some fax machine-looking terminal to a central computer over telephone lines. Lots of Atari, TI and RadioShack news too. It's a reminder from 30 years ago that we are still not using technology effectively in education."
