Go Go Engadget for a sharp-eyed snag from Expansys's site: the first public (and probably accurate) Playstation Portable specs. There's a mess of data to wade through, but some highlights include dual-MIPS R4000 cores, dual-graphics cores with a 664-megapixel per second fill rate (which seems low to me to hit...

When you view a cached page in Google, you get this message: "Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content." This is true most of the time, but what about when it's their own page? Also a fifth of the time you visit another pge on that server, you're told "Advertise instantly. With a credit card, your ad goes on Google today". Except it might not be so instant, since if you follow the link, you simply get "The requested URL was not found on this server." Just goes to show, even Google makes mistakes....

Dead pixels instead of dead trees

Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.

As You Slowly Slip Into Madness 08/05/2004 12:30 PM
I don't have any kids myself. But I do have six nieces and nephews under the age of four. How that happened was all my bothers and sisters decided pretty much at the same time to move back to Texas and start breeding. Kind of like salmon. It made Christmas last year very interesting. There were babies everywhere -- on the rug, in the cupboards, swinging from the chandelier. Being the unmarried crazy uncle sitting in the corner, I got to watch all this happen. I discovered a few things about kids that I didn't know before.

Canon Powershot G6 Details Slip

Canon Powershot G6 Details Slip 08/04/2004 01:31 PM

Canon's new Powershot G6 -- if you haven't heard of it, that's because it hasn't been announced -- may have had a little slip on the French shopping site Fnac.com; good for us, because that means PhotographyBlog got to scoop up all the details. A 7.1-megapixel sensor is probably the main new thing, along with a new silver-tone body, but the 3x optical zoom leaves a little to be desired. Sure, that's standard these days, but I'm starting to get fussy about it. Can't we get a 5x at least?
