Still tired. I seem unable to sleep enough, and then spend the whole day tiring myself out further :) Busy day of meetings as our company absorbs our growth plans, and then a hard 30-miler with my friend and colleague Craig. And then dinner and too much wine (Mahi Mahi and Sauvignon Blanc if you must know).
Pre-report: Battery life A-OK. Lovin' it. I always say "precelebration is the root of all failure", so I don't mean to Pre-celebrate :) but so far so good. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Sounds-like-an-Onion-headline of the day: Entire moon added to Google Earth. Pretty amazing technology, that we even have these data. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Ben Rometsch: Google Wave, first impressions. I don't "get" Google Wave [yet]; it seems to be a super-email, sort of a wiki-ish attempt to share information. I distrust things like this which aren't simple enough to explain, but I'll keep trying because there seems to be a there here. Stay tuned... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Something I continue to believe doesn't have a there here is Twitter, and I see where Trent Reznor agrees... Raise your hands, how many of you find Twitter useful? See, there's no there... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)

News you can use: is it safer to drive drunk or on the phone? I so fear that using a phone while driving is going to be made illegal; granted, it may be [somewhat] dangerous, but so are a lot of things and it really isn't the government's job to protect us from ourselves. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Jeff Atwood makes a great point: nobody hates software more than software developers. I, too, dread it when something I buy comes with a software CD. Invariably the software sucks and it breaks your machine. Not sure whether to blame Windows for this or software developers in general, but it is so... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Wow, this is cool: Cellscope, the cellphone microscope. Now with a UV-upgrade. People sometimes ask me about this technology, wondering if it will be an "attack from below" on high-end diagnostic equipment like that made by Aperio. Not sure. The performance gap is still large. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Alex Payne: Fever and the future of feed readers. "Today, at least in the web-tech echo chamber, feed reading is quickly falling out of fashion. Too many sites producing too many feeds of dubious quality means information overload, and a creeping sense of obligation to keep up with a torrent of questionably relevant content." I'm not sure I agree with that; sure, there are a lot of bad feeds, but a lot of good ones too. Just stick with me :) Anyway the main point is Fever, a new feed reader, which filters feeds based on keywords etc., and in theory at least can extract information from data...
