Keep it coming!] [Update 2: Jenith (a former MobileBurn employee and fellow Australian) weighs in, as does James Kendrick.] Today is a travel day, as Ze Frank would say, and while packing up for the impending journey I am faced with the decision of what gadgets to take with me.

09.28.06Desk WearI've had this desk for maybe two months, tops, and I'm already wearing away the finish where my mouse travels. Symptoms of a person that works from home, I guess... (photo taken with the Nokia N73)

09.04.06Kent’s Mock OperaI have been a long time reader of Kent Newsome's blog, since before he climbed to the influential position he is in now (yes Kent, I think you're influential), and sometimes he pops up with a post that really makes me smile. Kent, thanks for making me a part of your Mock Opera.

05.26.06Office 2007 ImpressionsAlong with over 200,000 other people, I downloaded the Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 when it was released to the public the other day.

04.26.06A SentenceSure Kent, I'll play. Here are the instructions: Grab the nearest book. Open it to page 161. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you. My sentence is: "We've seen conditional statements and loop statements in this book already, and they were introduced in Chapter 1, but this is the chapter where we nail down all the facts on these statements." It's a C++ book, and page 161 is the very early stages of the language. I haven't picked up the book in ...

04.14.06The Best Reason for Owning a Mobile PhoneEver need to justify owning a mobile phone? Hands down, this is the best reason I have ever seen. No nudity or anything, but probably not safe for work nonetheless. Watch - [via YouTube]

04.01.06At Least April Fool’s is a Saturday…April Fool's day is a Saturday this year (obviously), which is a great thing in my opinion. I feel really sorry for any company that actually needs to put out an announcement on April 1st of any year where that particular date falls during the week - no one would ever take it seriously...
