I kick it back with a cordless mouse, and thus like the idea of this “mouseboard,” although it doesn’t work terribly well in practice. As it turns out, Windows XP already includes an effective on-screen keyboard. I’m sure OSX has a similar feature, right, gentlemen?

The PowerMate (input device) and Synergy (iTunes software controller) are a sublime pair, mating this luminescent dial to my own heavenly radio.
On a totally trivial subject in which I’m extremely interested: “I had a dream of setting up a little projector to display the visuals on a wall or ceiling whenever iTunes was playing." Beyond that, I hope to rent a projector to screen movies at the mad backyard parties I hope to throw once we move into an actual house with an actual yard this summer.

At dollarshort.org there is a good discussion of Digital Video cameras. We recently bought the Canon ZR60, and (I don’t know from videography so I won’t say anything by way of review about it yet except that) it’s a lot of fun. I will say that my requisites matched Mena’s, and I’ve been thoroughly satisfied. I’ve been a little disappointed by the lack of web resources for amateur, no-budget, dogme documentarians, though – I’ve been looking for sites with reviews of DV media, iMovie 3 tutorials, and tips/techniques for shooting, and found nothing worth mentioning. What am I missing?
It took me a few hours at the convention before I realized that, of the thousands of members I had seen there, I couldn't recall any being black.Palm Beach Post: NRA bids a loving farewell to Heston. "Heston bent down and kissed her. And they were led offstage. Someone else had to carry the rifle. Heston stopped when he got to the edge of the curtain. He turned and waved, and then he was gone."
I carry my iPod, cell phone, wallet, cash, keys, a pen, a Leatherman Micra, and some Rolaids. I stopped carrying my Palm m505 a few months ago when I realized that over a week I couldn’t remember pulling it out of my pocket once. I miss having Bejeweled handy sometimes but reading The Lord of the Rings has kept me busy on the subway.
My backpack is often with me, and that usually contains: a stack of assorted papers I really don’t need, a magazine, a book or two, a ton of change (handy, though I often forget I have it), some more pens, bus schedules, a Leatherman Juice, a firewire cable (forgotten today – drat!), and more Rolaids. I have been assembling a list of anti-terror devices I would like to toss in there soon, including: a flashlight, some Clif bars, a mini radio, … that’s all I can think of right now. Maybe I should write this list down somewhere.
