I’m still swamped at work (and at home, where I’ve somehow managed to start three big projects in the backyard), so I’m just going to punt today. Still, I thought I should put something up here, so I looked around for a while but I didn’t have much success. Then I asked myself that all-important [...]
Yesterday, Apple senior VP Phil Schiller concluded his extremely underwhelming Macworld keynote address with the news that they’re finally phasing out DRM on their vast library of musical offerings in the iTunes store.

Things kind of got off to a slow start this morning. Saturday night’s parties and the first morning of Daylight Saving [...]
Wow! If the first day of SXSW was a little slow, then today certainly made up for it. I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth, and there’s still three more days left. There was so much going on today and I took so many pictures that I don’t even know where to start. [...]
