Chuq von Rospach posted the quote-of-the-day:

Cell Phones: the only thing where guys get together, whip it out, and say “See! See! Mine’s smaller!” to each other.

😆

For the record, I don’t have a cellphone.

John Gruber has a very detailed analysis about the Safari browser, on his Daring Fireball.

Dan Gillmor’s eJournal moved to a new address recently.

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing fame has released his science fiction novel “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom” in several formats… including a free download. Thanks, Cory!

More information here.

Very highly recommended!

Update: here’s a great review of the novel by Kevin Marks.

Clay Shirky has a great article out, illustrating how FedEx failed with its Fax-based ZapMail service.

ZapMail was done in by several mistaken assumptions about Fax services; IMHO, most notably by not noticing that their customers would also be their competitors.

Thanks to Boing Boing for the link.

Glenn Fleishman posts more details about Apple’s recently-launched Airport Extreme (802.11g) wireless networking hardware. Thanks Glenn!

Just fixed a pesky bug that made links to a specific post go to the wrong page. Apologies to whoever ran into that…

I fixed a bug that was, errhh… bugging me for some time. Linking to individual posts in the main weblog topic now works, and it returns to the correct place after posting, too.

I’m also checking out Apple’s new Safari browser. Practically my whole site seems to work OK, except for button placement which sometimes is off a few pixels… no great problem.
