Blog Notes: Categories Still Broken
September 23, 2007WordPress Support hasn’t replied to my last email about Categories being all screwed up here.
I tried to add a new Category today.
It wouldn’t show up in the blog list of Categories.
I sent WordPress Support another email…

Band: Venomentality On Radio Tonight Sunday September 23 2007 At 10PM EDST
September 23, 2007Go to Albany Edge’s audio stream to hear it live tonight!
Warning: This sites requires registration to access the stream (stupid, stupid, stupid!). Ordinarily, I wouldn’t blog something because of that (stupid, stupid, stupid!) requirement, but I think it’s worth the effort to hear Venomentality tonight. Do it early in case there are other requirements relating to compatible media player and/or codec.

New MacBooks = Optical Drive Bye-Bye
September 23, 2007How Come No One Noticed There Was No Mention of DVD in the New MacBook?
So when we got the news from Cleve and his source about the new laptops, the first thing we asked ourselves was how is Apple going to squeeze all of the laptop internals into such a thin Package? Battery optimization? Couldn’t hurt. Making the boot drive into NAND RAM? Possible but still very expensive. Motherboard optimization? Yeah sure but you can only save so much space doing that. Then it hit us: was the MacBook DVD going the way of the dodo?
Well, yeah, duh…!
Show me the outcry over lack of optical drives for UMPCs. There hasn’t been any.
No one laughed at the Foleo for not having an optical drive.
No one’s bitching that the Asus Eee lacks an optical drive.
Our perception of mobility has subtly changed. We no longer want everything a desktop computer offers. Does your notebook computer have a floppy drive? Why not?
I have a ton of CD-Rs. If I want to put something onto a machine that lacks an optical drive, I’d use my desktop PC to move it onto an SD card or onto a USB Flash drive. I can’t see wasting battery power on sorting through CD-Rs while out and about. And not having the extra weight of an optical drive is good too.
Plus, someday I intend to make my life easier by moving all the CD-Red stuff to a massive portable hard drive. That’d make everything faster to find and, if I’m really pressed for time, I can drag along the portable hard drive too. The point is, that extra weight is now optional.
Plus, I really think Apple is going to do something like this:
Yeah, you’ll iSync files back and forth from these smaller MacBooks to a Mac (and maybe even PC) desktop. Think of it as iTunes For Your Other Files.
