Lazy Expo Goers
The Expo that is going on at the same time as Macworld is the United Motorcoach Association Expo. I saw the sign in front of Moscone North that detailed their hotel shuttle schedule. It listed the hotels it goes to and one of them was the Marriott. You have to be real lazy to not walk from the Marriott to Moscone. It is a 3 minute walk and just over a block. You'd spend more time getting onto and off the bus than walking.

Doh, fixed a blog issue!
This week I've written a lot of posts and noticed that the "Previous" link didn't show up at the bottom causing people to potentially miss some of my excellent work! I finally took a look and discovered that one of my Wordpress plugins (Adhesive) caused the issue. I installed this plugin right after I ran my first marathon 1.5 years ago! Oh well, now people can see the older posts.

The bird had the right idea!
I installed the software for the IRIScan Express and was not surprised to see that it isn't TWAIN compliant. However, the ReadIRIS software that comes with it DOES use TWAIN compliant scanners if they exist. In poking around, I see that the software opens up a bundle specifically for the scanner. (I used a tool called opensnoop to see what the app was opening.)

A sign from the heavens?
I went ahead and purchased the IRIScan Express 2 scanner today to give it a whirl. When I handed the guy my credit card, he started to write down my name on an order form and was about to write down my credit card info when I asked if he'd take cash. He said, "Yes", so I handed him $100. I wasn't about to have a company write down my credit card number and have it potentially lost who knows where. In this case, I trust electronic transfers of my information rather than paper as the commotion of a tradeshow could easily cause them to lose the piece of paper.
