Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac: Even Worse Than I Thought?
As I surmised I might on my recent post about Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, I gave up on it on my iMac G5 and trashed it. Unusably slow. But surely, on an Intel Mac, it has to be better/faster than Office 2004 running in PowerPC emulation mode, right? Wrong, at least according to XLR8yourmac.…

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac: Giant Disappointment
I’ve been testing Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac for a couple of days in real world situations (for me). As you should know by now, I’m no great fan of Microsoft products, but they are unavoidable in my line of work. I receive dozens of Office documents from my clients every week. The new version…

Speaking of the 2008 Macworld Expo (the context of the latest Geeks in Love episode), you might want to check out the last few minutes of last Tuesday’s Steve Jobs keynote speech.

Remote Possibility: Vacancy
Another year, another haunting Remote Possibility heartbreaker. Stop whatever it is you’re doing and listen to the six-handed, robotically passionate Vacancy.

They Might Be Giants, a great duo of a band (that people have often compared my music to, I’m flattered) have published 3 episodes of their new Podcast for Kids. Apartment 4 and 7 days a week are particularly stunning, both musically, in spirit and visually, at least as good as the best of Sesame…
iPhone in the Wild

V*agra and Penis Enlargers nearly killed my blog
If you’ve tried to access sknoblog in the last few days, you were either met with an error page, or with the blog peppered with lines of error messages… My ISP offers free Web hosting, but they have adopted rather radical measures recently. Basically, when a database table grows too big, too fast, it triggers…
Stockholm Syndrome
Frogblog’s latest post about just another day in America is sobering, and I might have written it myself a while back (although not as elegantly). But having struggled through anger, denial, bargaining, depression and reached the acceptance stage, I can now follow America’s freefall with sad detachment. William Gibson nails it in his latest book,…
