Another semi-useless spot on the web…

I like listening to music as silence is sometimes unnerving; I listen to music in the car and most of the time when I work. However, I’m not a music connoisseur and haven’t been to many concerts in my life. The few concerts I have been to, I really haven’t enjoyed because the music is [...]

I’ve struggled with managing my todo lists and have bounced back and forth among many different applications and even paper notebooks! Recently I decided to give 37signals’s Backpack as there are a few Mac clients and the web interface is excellent. I’m quite impressed with it and their free account seems to meet my needs [...]

When I was booking my flight to attend WWDC, I could fly into either SFO or Oakland. I’m been flying into Oakland for a long time anytime I’ve come into San Francisco. Back in 1995, the first time I came to Macworld San Francisco, I flew into SFO because I didn’t know better; I then [...]

In today’s local paper, a reader wrote that he was disappointed that the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon was 26.5 miles and not the standard 26.2 miles according to his Forerunner 305. The letter annoyed me as the author is a bit clueless about marathons. I’ve thought about writing letters to the editor all the time, [...]
