everything2 mac client

once upon a time I used everything2, and wrote a little. I got a nice comment from another user and am considering going back. So I wanted to find some resources…

E2’s RDF feed and “Mattbox”, a Mac chatterbox client, were the two I’ve gotten so far.

Cairns

I was looking through my cross-USA summary, and remembered “cairns.” We saw this cairn exhibit in La Jolla.

Underwater hotel

I have thought about underwater cities for a long time. The Guardian reports on an underwater hotel in Dubai.

dean v. kerry. or, dean-kerry v. outsiders?

There’s been a little news that Dean supporters have gotten on the new Kerry blog and have been insulting people. But Skippy says that they’re not Dean supporters, actually–they’re Republicans!

Mars

Just wanted to mention that Mars will be the closest to the Earth that it’s been in 60,000 years on August 26.

battery life

I’ve been complaining (to myself) that my battery life has gone down from 3 hrs at full charge to 2:30.

While doing some processor-intensive things, I started monitoring the CPU with UNIX’s top command.

Guess what? iChatStatus and Synergy, two useful programs, were running. For iChatStatus, I wasn’t on-line. I killed the two of them plus iTunes and average load went from 2.8 to 0.6.

At least it’s not the battery…
