In an article a day or two ago, I discussed the real Mac market share myth - that market share doesn’t matter.
In this article, I (how arrogant can you get) will offer the first step to a solution to the problem of the Mac’s declining market share. The first step, as always, is to put […]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Utterly, completely, incomprehensibly unbelievable.
That’s my reaction to my current web hosting company’s support policies. It’s so bad, I’d almost prefer NO support whatsoever. But it’s a little late for that, isn’t it? I’m tied in for a year.

That’s OK, I only have two machines I want connected, anyway. And if I want more, I’ll just use […]

I am so hugely impressed with Stephen Baxter that I almost cannot express it in words.
Hyperbole is boring, and bullshit is worse, but he is seriously one of the major, if not THE major forces driving science fiction forward these days. Just when we thought all the good plots were taken by Heinlein and Asimov […]

I find it interesting that Peter Merholz is mentioning that content management systems don’t really work.
(He’s using Movable Type for his blog and is not giving individual posts individual pages; you’ll have to scroll.)
