<drool…> Mmmmm, cooool tooooys. These are the PDA Buzz Best of Show from the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2003.
Wow, there are some cool toys there. I have always like the Sony Palm OS PDA’s, and the one shown is no exception. The iQue sounds pretty wicked too (except for the lack of WiFi/Bluetooth). In fact everything listed on the page is pretty cool (except for the Fossil SPOT watch by Microsoft). Time to start saving up for new gadgets.
Oh yeah, I have made loads of changes this past weekend. Besides moving content to the right, I have also decided to start removing some of the table I used for layout. I am attempting to use CSS instead. Weee, fun eh?
I also did some work on the profiles section. You can now only view other profiles if you are currently logged in to this site. If you are not logged in, you can’t even see the link to the left. Furthermore, I have removed the displaying of email addresses, and instead created a small form for sending email. Much nicer. I am extremely sorry to anyone that received spam on account of being signed up here.
Burton and Apple have teamed up to create a snowboarding jacket with integrated controls for an Apple iPod.
As the good folks over at Gizmodo said: “Just make sure you do not land on the volume button when you wipe out.”
I mainly re-arranged how each post is displayed. All the same info is being displayed, but now it is cleaner. I made some changes to the underlying CSS page too.
So far I like the changes. Let me know what you think.

I stumbled across these online tools over at GeekLog.net.
There is a Lynx simulator, and a search engine simulator that are good resources to test with when developing web pages.
Well, this little gem is very simple, not really a lot of fun, but still horrbily addictive.
Prepare for Ant War!
You control the destiny of a colony of ants. Each day you choose their activity, and attempt to create the largest colony that you can.
Warning though, you do have the option to save your game, but you must first sign up with the site, then Pay $0.50 per save using PayPal. I am not sure how much it would cost to load a game (if anything).
It was time to get a new Cell Phone. My trusty tri-mode StarTac was really starting to bite. The case was cracked, the antenna broken, and the buttons made these awful sticky, crackly noises.
I did a little shopping trip last night, and picked up a new LG TM520 from Future Shock.
So far I really like the phone. I has a lot of nice features, is small, light, and pretty easy to move to.
I really like the voice activated dialing.
I love west coast storms. The power behind them is humbling. I couldn’t begin to count the number of times I have walked on a beach during a storm. The pounding surf, the howling wind, the relentless rain. They remind me of how powerful nature is.
It is humbling because no matter how strong you are a good storm can still push you around.
I awoke this morning to an excellent wind storm. Hearing the gusts pick up, hearing them hit the house, feeling the house shake ever so slightly. Amazing. It makes me feel good to be alive.
The rain tends to sting when it hits my face during a good gust. My legs feel really light when there is a tail wind. Walking is such a chore in a good head wind.
Storms are so dynamic, ever changing, chaotic. Maybe that is their appeal.
Doesn’t really matter. I almost always enjoy them.
