As you may know, Doreen and I lived apart, she in Missouri and I in Washington, for the last three years. Even though my job at the time allowed me to travel to see her every five or six weeks, I cannot recommend this way of life. It’s simply awful.

The Print/Web Disconnect
If Apple’s new tablet—If it exists*— is everything the analysts, optimists and speculators believe it to be for the print industry, then publishers must address a huge disconnect between their physical and digital products. If this secret product uses some InDesign-to-eBook formatted delivery workflow then I’m sure the web product will suffer even more.
I’m doing a little...

Please, someone come up with something better than 3D interfaces that mimic a desktop. In fact, chill with the 3D and give me something useful. I’m sick of it.
I want to use an app, not ogle its (perceived) beauty.
Make movie, leave mean.

Hey, you’re new people star. Look, make movie, leave mean.

Fear of the poor is hampering Haiti rescue
adamisacson:
[T]he Haitian people seem to scare aid workers more than Somali warlords, Darfuri Janjawid or Afghan Taleban. Frightened Dutch aid workers abandoned a mission without reaching the collapsed building where people were trapped, and frightened doctors have left their patients unattended.
The experience of CNN’s medical reporter, Dr Sanjay Gupta, is telling. In a makeshift clinic he...

A little background
Haitian Ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Joseph, flames FLAMES Pat Robertson’s irresponsible and insensitive comments on the Jan. 13 Rachel Maddow show.
[EDIT: Dashboarders, there’s a video here]. watch

My Connection to Haiti
It hurts. I lived in the town of Gonaïves, Haiti. It’s the city where the Jean Jacques Dessalines declared Haiti’s Independence. It’s south of Souvenance, the birthplace of Vodou and 45 minutes to an hour north of Saint Marc— Home of the Club Med ‘Hispaniola*’. Hispaniola is what they call the island when they don’t want the tourists to know where they are. In...

Wherein scottmcdowell, kellydeal and I meet up in Vegas, get drunk on sake at Benihana, buy out a 7-Eleven’s entire stock of Milwaukee’s Best, and get arrested for turning over cars in the Flamingo Hilton parking lot after a 100-mile desert chase.
It’s a simple plan.
Pfft, YEAH. What are you guys doing next Tuesday?
