Noticed that by friend Lee Clontz had blogged that the tag-savvy, blogging-friendly browser Flock had been released and he was trying it out. Flock cautions users of the current build:
If you’re the bleeding-edge type and don’t mind a few scrapes and busted knees from time to time, feel free to give it a whirl….So if a bucket of source code and developer binaries sound enticing, head over to our Developer page now.
I’m posting this via the built-in blogging tools now. Seems very user friendly, although the import of my Safari bookmarks keeps failing. But the tagging support, RSS system (multiple ‘topbars’ yay!) and Flickr integration make this very attractive.
I took a quick trip out to San Francisco for a DoubleClick meeting in
Napa Oct 16-Oct19. I visited Shane and Vicki Holland and their adorable
little man Ian. Just a few pics since I left my charger at home :-(.
But I did manage to get a few cute pics of Ian and a nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge. In addition to getting a lovely head/chest infection, the DoubleClick meetings were enjoyable – notable for the fabulous dinner at Cakebread Cellars. I spent more on wine I shipped back home than I probably should have. But hey – how often can I get my hands on a reserve wine a winery I love doesn’t retail anywhere but at their own vineyard.
It wasn’t enough for Apple to surprise everyone with a Video iPod last week, a Windows-Media-Center-like iMac (interesting) and to begin offering network television broadcasts for download on the ITMS. Yesterday, in an event I wasn’t even aware of in advance, Apple took the lid off minor resolution enhancements to the current crop of Powerbooks (yawn), announced a new Quad-Processor G5 (wow), and released a new application called Aperture. This is what I’ve been waiting for.
Today was another milestone for Sam – we introduced him to solid food. Really more symbolic than anything else, this first meal was still pretty much liquid, 1 tablespoon of rice cereal disolved in five tablespoons of formula. Nonetheless, it involved (a) Sam sitting in a chair (b) The use of a spoon and (c) The foodstuff involved was slightly more substantial than unadulterated formula. Thus, it counts as his first non-liquid meal. Sam loved it, and wanted to ‘help’ guide the spoon to his mouth. Next up will be sweet potatoes or green beans, then sweeter stuff later on. Take a look at the gallery here.
