WWDC Keynote - My take
Lots of web sites have their opinions on the WWDC keynote (pretty much all I can talk about all week), so my comments will be brief.

Oakland Airport vs SFO
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 took a bus into town. Pretty much after that when I came into San Francisco myself (I came a number of times for work and we always took cabs in), I flew into Oakland because BART went to Oakland Airport via the AirBART shuttle and Southwest stopped flying into Oakland. My last trip to San Francisco, I got annoyed with Oakland because I didn't have the exact fare for AirBART (now $3) and had to scramble to get change and the 15-20 bus trip to transfer to BART was a pain.

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, but finally pulled the trigger.

Asking for (USB) trouble
I was doing some testing today and had to re-arrange my USB hubs to put certain devices at the beginning of the chain. Hubs, you ask? Yes, I have 3 powered USB hubs and a ton of devices. Does it all work? For the most part, yes. I really wanted a 14-21 port hub and not have to chain hubs together, but I've been unable to find one, except for one that someone hacked together. Am I that unusual to have so many devices? OK, I may have a few more devices than most people, but aren't people collecting more devices? Here's my current list of what is plugged in:
