The Top Button

Posted by Jeff as Blogs

I ran into Adam Metz on Monday while lobbycon’ing the SNAP conference. We had a really fascinating conversation spanning a broad spectrum of topics but one in particular is spurred him to write an introductory post. "If I were able to define the solution, I’d have a bestselling book on my hands. My conversation with [...]

But first, I learned more about Leopard from Siracusa’s awesome review than from anything Apple put out… I had an interesting conversation with myself in the Apple store while pondering buying an indivdual license or a family pack for $75 more (we have 3 Macs). My first thought was whether or not Apple is enforcing [...]

I’m Done With Firefox

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

I’m really frustrated with Firefox on the Mac, it’s such a pig of an app and even after near universal experience with crashes and memory leakage, the developers just don’t seem interested in fixing it. Leopard doesn’t improve matters . “Aas goes on to say that Mozilla has reports of other problems that it has [...]

New Gmail Interface

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

I have the new Gmail interface in my gmail account and I didn’t even notice it because it looks so much like the Super Clean greasemonkey script I have been running for at least a year.

Space Sweetness

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

"Astronauts swung open the door to their new space station addition Saturday and floated into the spacious and sparkling white room, formally christening it Harmony." I’m tired of NASA being cotton candy all the time. Just once I’d like them to be a little edgy and name something the "Death Star". Just what purpose does [...]

What’s Up With Segway

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

Segway… there’s a company you don’t hear much about anymore… in stark contrast to the early days. What’s up with them, obviously still in business? Looks like they are focusing on niche commercial markets and police/government. I don’t see them on Amazon anymore, but I did find this book, although apparently it’s not much in [...]

My Top 10 Movie Music List

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

And now for something completely different. The other day I was stuck in traffic and I got to thinking about the best adaptations of music to movies, in other words, soundtracks that rely on songs not originally scored for a movie. Last night I was watching television and compiled this list, but not in any [...]

Public School Choice

Posted by Jeff as Public Policy

"Right now he’s only guilty of the lesser sin of viewing real estate purchases as the natural vehicle through which one should excercise educational choice."- Megan McCardle And some wonder why real estate in some Bay Area neighborhoods is so much more costly than in adjacent zip codes. Schools. If I buy a much more [...]

Backsliding at SAP

Posted by Jeff as Blogs

Still considered a leader in embracing the blogosphere, SAP risks forfeiting that leadership with boneheaded moves like this: "I was told yesterday by SAP HR that I have to remove the link to my PERSONAL (this) blog from my SAP corporate email signature." Tags: SAP
