Just a handful of random thoughts today.....

In my last blog post I mentioned my temptation to feel better about myself when I had more people view the site......and that post set a record for most views since I began blogging in January.  Isn't that funny?!  Probably came from using "Satan" as a tag. :)

Just finished a book by Francis Chan called CRAZY LOVE.  Not sure I completely buy all the theology about who's saved and who's not, but I love the call to not get caught up in a lukewarm Christian life.  Full of passion and Biblical references, it's absolutely worth a read.  Thanks to the guys at lifechurch.tv for their list of summer reading that gave me the line on Chan's book.

Greetings loyal readers.  I have what I can only call a montage for you today.  I am going to drop several ideas into one post because I don't have enough to make several posts out of them.
But first I'd like to withdraw my name from any Vice-Presidential considerations.  There has been much talk as of late in the media about who Senators McCain and Obama will ask to round out their ticket and while I have not been contacted by either, I do not feel this is the best time for me or my family to be thrust into the national limelight.
It may seem foolish to withdraw at such an early stage but with my wedding approaching in a year and a day, I do not believe Back would take kindly to my disrupting her carefully coordinated march to the altar.

Here is a test of the Apple Slim Aluminum (wired) (USB) Keyboard:

1. Type some numbers with the top row.

1234567890

2. Now, with the keypad:

(Nothing)

3. Hit the F6 Key:

1421457896333

F6 twice appears to allow the use of the number keypad.

And the Alpha Keys still work.

4. Here is more Text & Numbers using the num keypad:

123abc456def789GHI

5. Now, using the top row:

1234567890

6. and more text: This Apple Keyboard is acting kind of funny...

So the moral of the story is to hit the F6 key to get the keypad to work.
The CAPS LOCK Key does not work tho...

7. To solve that:

Bits: ‘Wall-E’: An Homage to Mr. Jobs

Talk about product placements.

“Wall-E,” the Pixar movie that took in $62.5 million over the weekend, is chock full of references to Apple products. Perhaps that’s because Steven P. Jobs, the chief executive of Apple, used to own Pixar before he sold it to the Walt Disney Company.

Tudo se copia?

Há um tempo atrás, um rapaz chamado Stevie Jobs criou um aparelho capaz de armazenar milhares de músicas de MP3 e ainda ser portátil...

Sua idéia revolucionou a vida de milhares de pessoas que dependiam das pilhas de walkman´s e CD players.

Depois vieram outras pessoas que "copiaram" as idéias e começaram a criar diversos de aparelhos parecidos, mas nenhum o superava no quesito qualidade, produto, idéia.

E esse tal de Stevie Jobs começou a se vangloriar tanto de suas Idéias que criou um tal de Macbook Air..

A idéia do Note mais fino do mundo era fantástica. Mas qual ser humano iria querer um Note com apenas 2 entradas USB?

The fourth update (10.5.4) to Leopard has been released (more information here), the pace seems to be picking up, which is a good sign. Though it could be because the 3G iPhone, and associated firmware and iTunes updates, are coming up July 11th. I'm glad to see a spaces bug was fixed, security bugs have been fixed, and bugs that caused problems for people using Apple Logic have been fixed, among other things.

Encontramos no extremo nordoeste (Isso mesmo!) da Amazônia, macacos selvagens com a novíssima geração do Mac Book Air!

Apenas termine de instalar la actualizacion anterior y me aparece la actualizacion al Leopard 10.5.4... Como siempre no nos dice mucho Apple que trae...abra que empezar a buscarle, aunque creo que viene todo lo necesario para el nuevo iPhone 3G y para el nuevo servicio MobileMe. Ay me cuentan como les fue con la instalacion.

Hola,

No voy a ser tan escueto como Cortador en su blog, pero casi:

Acaba de salir la actualización de Leopard a la versión 10.5.4. No la he probado en el MBP (ni el iMac de mi padre) pero parece que funciona, o eso nos cuenta sane_pox:

EDITO: entre rayos y truenos he actualizado, y parece que todo bien
