I though of a calendar system that is so simple and makes so much sense that I would have been surprised if it hadn't been proposed in the past (and it actually has).

I've had G-mail for around two weeks. Besides being all around nice and better than the .mac account that I pay for, the ads can be a plus.
A work related message came accompanied by an ad for lperf a free network performance tool from the University of Illinois' National Laboratory for Applied Network Research. I don't know why they would pay for a Google ad but this tool is exactly what we nee

On the same day that Palm announced that it will not be supporting the Mac in their next OS I found this wonderful conduit that allows AvantGo to work with MacOS 10.3 (Panther).
Apparently Mark/Space announced that they will fill the gap with their missing sync product. I've had a great experience with their software, since I've a clié that isn't supported natively by the MacO

I consider myself a little bit informed regarding physics so I was somewhat surprised to read in John Rigden's fine book that "The Fine-Structure Constant is recognized as one of the most important constants in physics ". I used to know by heart the electron's charge and Planck's constant (for a solid-state class) but I had never heard about this constant. It's represented by the letter "alpha" and its value is 1/137.0359895.

It's amazing the cool moon pictures one can get with the cheapest telescope and even a 1.3 Megapixel camera. This renewed my interest in Astronomy (although not for long). Now I want a higher resolution camera to get some planets and messier objects.

I have some GWII updates in my site.
Also of interest: this and this.

The .mac addessbook was working for a short while. it took them some time (days) to change the message to "Coming Soon" so it's obvious that they had some problems, but now it IS working OK. the new apps were also delayed. I got iPhoto 2 but it really isn't that much of an improvement. I have no use for iMovie or iDVD but I'm trying to get a copy of Keynote for evaluation ;-)

Today was the MacWrold Keynote and there's lots of new wonderful stuff (besides the new powerbooks I mean). I had been playing with iSync and iCal already but now they turned on .mac synchronization which means I can see the contacts from clié in any browser anywhere. Safari, their new browser, didn't work too great for me, I'm back with chimera for the time being but it looks like a great beta anyways. I don't need iDVD so the new "pricing" for the iApps is OK with me a

Well, this is my first entry. I hope I can update this thing once in a while (not like my site that I've pretty much abandoned for a long time). This weekend I took the GPS for a drive and plotted the results in my site. Since the last time I played with it new software came out to interface the Garmin with an iBook under OS X. This one is in Japanese, the speed graphs came from it, but the coo
