Has anyone seen these coats that hold a ton of gear, including an iPad? [link]
Check out the x-ray pics. Pretty cool! Makes me want to get an iPad and this coat. If only I had more money.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Our wings are not tired
I've been thinking about getting a Scottevest for a while now. Part of my hesitation is that I find a lot of terminals tend to be a bit on the warm side when I'm traveling in the winter and would need a coat.

Today I noticed that the sharper screen on my new iPod Touch is letting me read the B.org web pages very nicely indeed, much better than the old screen. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is thinking of upgrading!

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

Yeah, that is amazing. My boss and I compared the screen on my new Touch to his older iPhone - some small print was very hard to read on the iPhone but completely legible on the Touch. Cool!

Meet the iPig, the ugliest iPod speaker you will see today
Yes, the iPig. It is a speaker that is shaped like a pig with gigantic eyes, which are where the speakers are. The nose houses the controls. You can pop an iPod into its back, and it is horrible looking. The worst part? They want a whopping $150 for this monstrosity. I don't know either, guys. I really don't.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My cubicle (note: not cubical) neighbor has an iPig. It's hideous and obscenely overpriced and I want one desperately.

I'm on Acrobat 6.0 Standard, I believe the people I'm sending PDFs to are on Reader only (don't know what version).
What I'm trying to do is save these PDFs in such a way that the comments will print out on the other end *without* any special intervention by the other user. (I know "print with comments" should work, but if I have to walk them through this process every time I send a document, I will shoot myself.)
Is there a way to save my PDFs "flattened" so that the comments will print out by default?

So my Tivo, a Series 1 machine I got in 2001, appears to be completely unable to update the database. I forced a call about six times yesterday, and each time it failed, saying the call was "interrupted". For the last year or so it's been pretty uncertain about calling out, and I have usually had to disconnect the phone and the DSL to allow the Tivo to call, but now even that doesn't work.
Changing the dial-in number doesn't work, moving the Tivo and using a shorter phone cord doesn't work, changing the phone settings doesn't work.
I'm planning to move in the spring, so I don't really want to spend a lot of money right now on a new Tivo. And there is always Hulu... Thoughts? Do I just pretend I don't have a television for six months and just use Hulu? I almost never watch anything the night it airs anyway...
Has anyone else gone off the DVR altogether? Can you find everything you want on streaming sites?

Can you set TiVos manually, like a VCR? That's what I do with my DVR.
