Yes, it was 250 miles away. Yes I felt it. I was in a meeting when we saw the blinds start to rattle a bit and saw the hanging lights sway a bit. Things just felt a bit swervy for a few seconds. Our group ran outside so the news engineering team would survive the …
Garmin recently announced two new GPS receivers, the GPSMap 60C and 60CS. Improvements over previous units include color, a USB interface (instead of serial), a special “Geocaching mode” and 56MB of memory. They’ll be about $400+ though. I’m skeptical that the Geocaching mode would be able to match a my eTrex Vista + CacheMate, but …

Wow, I never thought I’d see this happen. Doesn’t look like this guy was doing a lot of commanding of rebels from his hole though.
I was looking through my access logs today and noticed a lot of ‘cute’ referrals. Apparently, my cat is considered to be one of the top 20 cutest images in the world. (Last row, bottom right.) If this picture had sound, I bet it wouldn’t seem so cute. Meow, meow, meow, meeeow, meow, meow, meow… …
I want a Griffin Technologies RadioSHARK. It’s TiVo for radio and it just plugs right into your Mac. I’ll never miss car talk again. Nevermind, I don’t think I’ll be able to wait that long.
