Double Standard: Duncan Hines Cup Cakes
So my son put me on the hook for the creation of cup cakes a couple of weekends ago…we’re in the store…after making my way to the aisle w/the baking goods…I find the box…Although Oskar, my son, is.
NYT: Gadgetwise: Blu-ray – Is Optical Dead?
[Rethinking Blu-ray - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com] Ok, the NYT is saying the indicators are that Blu-ray is on the upswing…personally, I’m don’t buy it…I don’t know anyone w/a Blu-ray player that didn’t come as a by-product in a game console and I don’t know anyone buying any discs? Do you?

PRE PALM PRE: “Let’s keep the momentum going boys…”
Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…

Personal Milestone: The Dalai Lama is a follower of mine.
I don’t put a lot of stock into the quantity of Twitter followers…but having people opt in is somehow both comforting and reassuring…however receiving the note from Twitter that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is following me is humbling…and somehow provoking of thought…his presence in my electronic or online life now gives me new questions as to the use of social networking technology as a tool for introspection as well as communications.
Market Watch: Maddow or Mathews? What about Olberman?
