Well, it looks like i let this site go a year without a real post. Again. Im going to bring it back, and in a tradition ive carried on since 1998, the first post in a year will be one with no useful content at all. Youre soaking in it. Im currently debating what to do with this site. I might write more about what i do in my businesses (running web sites and, lately, iphone development). Or i might just turn it into a list of links to things i write elsewhere. At any rate, something will happen here soon. Ill at least update the categories. I just noticed palmos is still there. How embarrassing. Im currently in san jose for the excellent 360idev conference. Working on an iphone app, which will hopefully be published soon. Playing with my new ipad, which is either the future of computing or the death of creativity as we know it depending on who you believe. Im pretty sure i dont agree with either side. I will post a full report on 360idev soon, if nothing else. Stay tuned. In the meantime im occasionally on twitter. .

Every year on april 1st, sites all over the web take a break from serious business to post believable, yet strange, announcements. Here are a few of my favorites this year. Keep it up, guys! While these were pretty funny, none of them quite beats googles big announcement five years ago. Hopefully next year theyll all come up with some better comedy. . Douglas bowman leaves google thats a shame, google really needed a good designer. Im surprised he spent so much time fighting the current there. (52). In the unrecognizable internet of 1996, farhad manjoo of slate magazine gives his impressions of the web of 1996, although he admittedly wasnt there. This is amusing in the same way as hearing a modern high-school student talk about the music and fashion of the 1970s, but i thought i should correct some of his misconceptions. I started thinking about the web of yesteryear after i got an e-mail from an idly curious slate colleague what did people do online back when slate launched, he wondered? After plunging into the internet archive and talking to several people who were watching the web closely back then, ive got an answer not very much. . David wertheimer says thats bullshit, and i agree. In 1996 the web was already so busy that a single person couldnt keep track of the whole thing, or hope to read everything online. My quotations site was two years old by then, and even in the narrow field of sites about famous quotations it was one of about 200. I couldnt keep track of all of them. By contrast, when i launched the site in 1994, it was the only one in the category. In early 1995 it was one of three sites in the category, and i regularly talked with the owners of the other two. Some of yahoos 1996-era front pages have been saved in the internet archive. Whats interesting about them is what they lack. First, no e-mail the first webmail site, hotmail, launched in july of 1996. . But webmail is not email. People were emailing each other long before hotmail, using desktop clients like pegasus and eudora. They looked pretty much exactly like todays desktop email clients, except for one thing there was no spam. In 1994, a swarthmore college student named justin hall began links, one of the very first personal web sites. . This seems wrong i set up a personal site in 1994, and im pretty sure i wasnt one of the very first. I doubt i was one of the first 500. Im sure i could find a few other mistakes in this shoddy article, but my point is this 1996 was when the web really started to get big. Real media companies like time magazine and the new york times were seeing its potential for the first time, regular people who werent computer-obsessed were beginning to outnumber the geeks, and businesses like amazon were just starting to make money online. The dot-com boom had begun, and advertising-powered sites like slate were starting to make real money. Saying this was not very much going on online is like saying that, since there was no tv, no suvs, and no wal-mart, there wasnt much going on during the industrial revolution. Via kottke. Ted tedblog a brief digression on lost time john hodgman on ted a somehow touching speech about alien abductions. Hes not just a pc, you know. (1). Ive had an iphone since last year, and being congenitally without a sense of direction, ive found the google maps feature particularly useful. After clicking the maps icon, one click on the locate me button would peg the map to my current location. Despite not having a gps chip, the iphone would do an admirable job of finding my current location using cellphone towers, wifi, and some sort of dark magic. Although this was good, i was really looking forward to using the maps on the new iphone 3g with true gps. I brought a new 3g iphone home last week, gleefully clicked on the maps and locate me buttons, and instantly found myself on a map centered on wayzata, minnesota. Im sure its a fine place, but unfortunately, im 1300 miles away in utah. It seems the assisted gps in the iphone 3g is getting the wrong kind of assistance. It uses cell towers to locate itself before using gps, in order to speed up the normally slow gps satellite lock process. This works for most people, but some of the 3g towers are incorrectly listed. The one near my house, apparently, is listed as just outside of minneapolis. This assistance overrides the gps chip so im completely unable to get an accurate gps location anywhere near my home. At first this seemed like an odd defect in my phone, but several other utah locals, including my wife, have the same problem. In addition to utah, it looks like there is at least one other glitch in the database several people in oregon have iphones that believe themselves to be in texas. As reported elsewhere, turning off 3g solves the problem. If you turn off 3g, then locate yourself on the map, it will correctly lock on. Unfortunately, as soon as i turned 3g back on and opened the map, it did a lightning-fast scroll across the country and brought me back to wayzata, mn. Several of our friends say that resetting or restoring their phones solved the problem, but that hasnt worked for us. I think it occasionally works because the phone reaches a different tower, or a non-3g signal, after resetting. Im sure this can easily be fixed with a software update, but in the meantime, im not exactly thrilled by the iphones gps performance. Considering the lack of press, i think its a very isolated issue. Is anyone outside of utah or oregon having similar troubles? Update 2008 10 07 as of a few days ago, the problem is fixed. 3g gets me an estimated location quickly everywhere ive tried it, and gps locks in shortly thereafter. This did not coincide with an iphone update, so i think att fixed something in their network. . Dual-display e-book concept mimicks reading, makes complete sense engadget yes.
