Dear Apple,

It is simple. I want one. Really I do. I am saving up to buy one. However, I won't be plunking down my cell phone upgrade cash until...

• I can connect to AT&T's high speed data service instead of Edge
• I can connect to my work place's secure wireless network
• I can use a bluetooth keyboard to do basic terminal/ssh stuff
• The "gps" stuff is actually something like accurate. It is pretty cool and helps them avoid putting all the gps related hardware into the phone and avoid updating the hardware. However, as far as I can tell it really isn't useful for "travel".

Frankly, once I get my cash saved up, if these features aren't announced, I will be ordering my next best drool gadget...
The Nokia N810
and some random cheap cell phone to connect to the cell network if necessary...

I forgot to post...

We're showing cars at the Maker Faire this weekend.

Now THIS is an event right up our alley. The group will also be helping with a Cal Cars Plug-in Hybrid conversion at the show.

Linkage: Makerfaire Austin

Sorry I have to vent. And what the hell, it is my blog isn't it? I doubt anybody is reading. If you are, this isn't for you. That is, unless you are considering signing up for Adsense and stumble on this inadvertently. Signing up may not be worth the effort to you.

I got a succinct letter the other day from Google saying that my adsense account was being canceled due to click fraud. Thing is... I don't click on my own ads. I did once or twice, but that was long ago when I was setting up my accounts and testing the site/s. Literally, once or twice. I didn't know any better. They sent me a nice warning and I haven't done it since. I do look at my site to make sure it is working. AND I do read my RSS feeds here.

BBC has a news brief on the finding of the Perplex City artifact in Great Britain. ARGs are so much cooler than MMORPGs.
