iPad 2 (0.34 inch thick) is 0.005 inches thicker than Kindle 2 (0.335 inch thick). I read that as “same”. Impressive.
I gave a talk today at a class at the University of Minnesota. I used it as a trial run for presenting right off of my iPad in Keynote. Worked great! Was liberating to have such a small device to present from.
Digging out some SATA cables and bare drive adapter this afternoon to rescue a Mac. I always find this stuff fun, when it is easy. If you are curious, the funky bare drive adapter I have is the Newer Technology USB 2.0 Drive Adapter.
Was Wrong on OpenID
My friend John asked me to present at a class of his next week at the U of MN. I took an old Keynote presentation I had from a couple of years ago to start with and ran across this slide. I don’t think I could have been more wrong!
I was definitely an OpenID advocate at the time, and for a long time before this talk. Makes me sad though since OpenID was open, and not owned by any one company. Hyperlinks between OpenID’s are such an elegant way of creating connections and is so web friendly.
Weeds Season 6 just hit iTunes. Yeah!
Just spent two hours cleaning vandalism off of one of my websites. (mediawiki, not WordPress). Nasty Internet out there.
The Black Keys: Brothers
I heard an interview with The Black Keys on Fresh Air on MPR. That is probably the least hip way I could describe discovering a cool band like The Black Keys. I picked up their new album Brothers and am loving it. I highly recommend it! Make sure to turn up the volume, especially on “Black Mud”.
Michael Birawer Prints
The hallways of the 8thBridge office just got classed up! The building added a number of Michael Birawer prints. It makes the space feel a lot better.
