About Antitrust Trial 06/16/2004 11:33 AM

My colleague John Paczkowski alerts me to an interesting development in the Bush administration's efforts to prevent Oracle from buying PeopleSoft. Gary Reback, a lawyer for PeopleSoft, is posting daily write-ups of the antitrust trial that's taking place in San Francisco. This is a smart PR move for PeopleSoft. Reback is a well-known antitrust lawyer (he was one of the major instigators of the original government action against Microsoft's monopoly abuses). This is is client's perspective, of course, but it's a fascinating one.

Tenacious Memory

Tenacious Memory 03/14/2005 06:01 PM

« "Hey, pass me the remote and get me a beer wouldya?" »

I don't know who came up with the idea that dogs don't have a memory, but whomever it was never owned a dog or at least not a bright one. Otava has a mental catalogue of each and every tasty bit of puke, poop, discarded hesburger wrappers, sticks, dead birds, etc. within a 1km radius. I even think that sometimes he plots our walks and consciously takes me to these spots so that he can make one more attempt at eating whatever it is that I've kept him from. I have a hard time remembering what day it is or what I ate for lunch so his memory seems to be far more tenacious than mine. We are also pretty convinced that he actually watches TV when he's up on the couch next to me since his eyes appear to follow the motion and he perks up if a dog barks on the screen. Any day now he's going to be watching porn and ordering take-away while we're at work. :)

Macworld Secrets: Colorful Photoshop

Macworld Secrets: Colorful Photoshop 07/07/2004 11:03 AM
Adobe Photoshop CS is possibly the best program for manipulating digital photographs. But it's also a capable program for coloring scanned artwork. This is especially valuable because it's easier to draw on paper, with a pencil or a pen, than it is to sketch on screen, if only because you can see an entire piece of paper without zooming or panning. And it can be easier to add colors in Photoshop than it is to hassle with conventional paints or assemble fussy mechanicals. I'll show you how to apply color to scanned line art in Photoshop. Throughout this process, you won't harm a single stroke in the original drawing. It really is the best of all worlds.
