This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been meaning to get off my ass and do. It’s intelligent, it’s easy on the eyes, it’s on the web and it’s free (viz. speech).
Come on, Dan, move it!

Lissart (also by Chris Tate for BeOS R5) has been added to the BeOS screen savers.
New arrival: Foam, part of the BeOS Screensaver Pack, originally by Christopher Tate for the Mac and then BeOS.
Since there seem to be so many ex-BeOS users moving to MacOS X, I think I’ll start
bringing the old BeOS screensavers
Here’s my first one: Buy Now, which you can find in my new BeOS Screensaver Pack. (Buy Now was originally written by Ficus Kirkpatrick in 1999 and shipped as part of beOS R5.) Remember, Buy Now — a software product is only as good as it is lucrative!
There’s something visceral about putting oil in your car. Especially when your car is as low on oil as mine was. It seemed so thirsty!
Another Palm office photo — same as above, from a different angle.

For those not local or who haven’t been down to Santa Clara to see them, I found a photo of one of the Palm buildings at 3COM. (From an article on Silicon Valley architecture.) Thanks, Google Image Search!

Erin and I were in Palo Alto this morning, looking through various large corporate bookstores to see if we could get our hands on a copy of the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice (just, and I mean just, released on DVD). (It was sold out most everywhere, but the B&N in San Mateo ended up having a couple of copies. Hey, when you have the urge to watch six hours of Victorian escapism, nothing can stop you.)
The funny thing, though, was the snarl of geek traffic in Palo Alto. You see, the Apple Store in Palo Alto opened this morning, and the Apple adherents were lined up around the block. You would think they were giving away free stuff (I don’t think they were), or that His Holiness Steve J. would make an appearance (I don’t think he was scheduled to), or that this was just simply a place to see and be seen. Well, you were seen, and I wasn’t that impressed.
Oh, it did look cool. And I’ll definitely stop by the Apple Store. Probably sometime this month, even. But waiting in line for two hours with 100 other Aqua-T-shirt-wearers — to go to a computer store — just ain’t my thing.
