Another prediction pans out. See comment #4. http://tinyurl.com/7mmvo28

Actually, I think of these more as observations than predictions, like Shawn Spencer. Anyway, my observation here, reality here. Thanks to commenter #4 on the former for the sweet bonus point.

A paper vs. digital argument? Party like it's 2005. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh

It’s like every argument from the Tablet PC era is back again. Except with a tablet that people want to use. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh

Two years ago, I outlined what iBooks Author is. http://tinyurl.com/7m3c9al

And I did it before the iPad was released. Boom.

Another Packed Apple Store

No sales, almost nothing new for the season, still the most crowded spot in Fair Oaks other than Starbucks. And yes, people are buying.

Organic green cuisine at Great Sage

All vegan, even the "crabcake", "egg nog" latte, and cinnamon bun. Great brunch!

Streaming Straight No Chaser @SNCmusic concert at work via Remote Potato @fatattitude

Recorded concert on PBS last night using Windows 7 Media Center. Playing it back today on my iPhone via Remote Potato. Billy Jean/Poison is the greatest mash-up ever. Must remember to do this for more concerts.

Investing $55M in Carrier IQ seemed like a good idea at the time. http://tinyurl.com/5tgacjp

“[Carrier IQ] monitors network performance on the device itself, giving carriers data about exactly what customers are experiencing.” – VentureBeat, June 2010 – In fairness, I would have dropped a few mil on that too, and you can’t say they didn’t warn you.

If Siri was REALLY pro-life...

What happens if you tell Siri you want to protest an abortion clinic? Results still "pro-life"? http://tinyurl.com/7v7ag9x

I don’t have an iPhone 4S to test this, but I’m guessing Siri’s inability to guide you to an abortion clinic isn’t based on what you intend to do there. Software isn’t politically biased. People are.

Thanksgiving Rightunders

The opposite of leftovers. We packed our own vegan feast for the family dinner.

Ignorance breeds creativity. I have tables to prove it.

The proof is not in data in tables, but the data tables themselves created by people who don’t bother to learn how to do them right in Word or Excel. It’s amazing how many different lines and grids can compose one table.

Should make these desktop photos easier to take.

Oh no! My iPhone upgrade eligibility moved up to... next month!

Damn. Originally thought it was February, but recheck today shows I'm eligible for full subsidy next month. Now I'll be counting the days instead of not thinking about it through winter.

They tried to make me go to decaf, and I said, "Zzzz..."

Between diet, exercise, and decaf, I have great numbers and no focus.

If your file name is too long to tweet, it's too damn long.

Received a PDF with name that is 211 characters with spaces. Windows XP can’t even store it.

At Whole Foods for dinner and a show

Selection for the night is "Supercharge Me", a film about raw food.
