i'm looking into the Panasoinc SV-AS10S D-Snap 2MP Digital Camera but i can't find a good, comprehensive review anywhere. and Russ from UK's rating makes the music functionality sound as useless as a magic-gate-equipped sony.

in one of those remarkable moments in which a shadow from the past slides across the one way mirror of your inbox, it appears my long misplaced (primary) undergraduate architecture thesis advisor ron jones is found. i came across him rather randomly during his time at the art center pasadena and we exchanged a few emails (not so relevant, but while i was in sinagpore) before cleaning losing complete touch after an unsuccessful attempt to imbibe in each other's company. he is found because, at least i presume, i still live in his email address book and just received a little new year's epistle from sweden. stockholm, specifically, where he has partnered with a ms. makela and formed o-b-o-k. the links and bios are of especial interest.

nothing too new for anyone who know my dad's work, but nice little article over at kuro5hin about umberto eco: "Considered as physical objects, Eco concedes that, at least in the case of books which are designed to be consulted rather than read--dictionaries, encyclopaedias, reference manuals, and the like--books are likely to disappear over time, as digital media offers numerous and compelling advantages." yeah.

(from mr. townsend of nycwireless fame): "In answer to the long held question, can a TiBook with one Wifi card act as a repeater and relay access to everyone else in the room without them having to pay, the answer it turns out is yes. How do we do this? Well, first turn off the built-in Apache installation on the OSX machine that is online. Edit httpd.conf to load mod_proxy (there are about 20 or so lines to uncomment). Turn Apache back on. Go to network prefs, and find out your assigned IP address. Write it on a piece of paper, and pass it around the room, telling them to set it as their web proxy."

trying not to ms bash here, but i dunno. . . this seems like kind of a stupendous design flaw in a mobile phone: "Both phones worked OK. Their big flaw is that the Microsoft software is painfully slow to identify incoming callers, even if they are calling from numbers included in the phone's address book. The process is so slow that in a dozen tests, neither phone ever identified a known incoming caller on its screen before the calls went to voice mail. Microsoft and the phone makers are working on the problem" we're talking about released phones here -- as in a lot of poeple thought they ready for primetime. btw, for the record, the treo 600 really is amazing. fast, tight, solid; does just what it sets out to do and does it excellently. works great in europe too.

ah, issues means of production and labor appear everywhere (12/9/03 post), which leads to here: "One service that hasn't seen rising prices in a while is maids-a-milking, which reflects the trend of outsourcing unskilled labor from the United States to other countries." you're going to have to follow the link to have any idea what the heck we're talkin about. . .

gee. $-150.01 is a good price for Sony Ericsson T616. the rebate scheme is just a little confusing though. seems like you would qualify for $100 of the rebates even if you don't buy a service plan.

ok, i'm procrastinating again. . . the referrer logs always have some unexpected surprises in them. like how someone searching for a venn diagram on the black panthers party ended up here? and how i ended up second in the results for Year of the Monkay is. . . or why, exactly, did i come up for an image search on altavista for titillating photos and graphics (though i don't appear to do so anymore). and, um, why do i appear on the first page for "bill the cat" ascii, micro warehouse 2003, and "x-files killed"? those are some wacked page rank systems. oh, and for some stats: 12 (prob a bit confused) people ended up here from evan's tutoring site and a whopping 360 from google. huh.
