Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

"What good is a chocolate iPod?"

It's just that I have one here. Oh, and it's not USB or firewire. It's milk.

Finally, a copy of The Mysterious Greatwood, the book I have been searching for for years...

Albris looks like a rather useful aggregator for second hand books.

Rar!

Has anyone else noticed that the icon for the BBC News campaign weblog is the Mac OS X 10.4 logo?

Tiger Logo: Blog icon:


First the Radio Times goes for an all Dalek slate, and then BBC News selects Tiger. Is this some new geek vote bias?

I have just been clapped into the Regent Street Apple Store by the entire staff. A very odd experience indeed.

I decided to go along to the UK public launch of Tiger, and arranged to meet codepope and spride in the queue. As codepope had been there since 4.30 he had a good spot near the front of the queue, so I joined him.

At 18:00 on the dot, they opened up the door of the store, and the crowd began to flood in. The whole staff was there, on the stairs and around the entrance, applauding the first 100 or so to come in. Ranks of black clad Steve clones, in their shiny new Tiger t-shirts. It was like being part of a cult - the cult of Macintosh.

It was quite fun, really, once I got over the embarrassment...
