Thanks to David Goldblatt for suggesting this awesome Lowepro Fastpack 250 as a solution to my bag conundrum. The Fastpack comes in black, red or blue and looks like it can hold a good amount of camera equipment and a MacBook Pro safely.

"We're living in the "anyone can play guitar" era of software entrepreneurship. Because of the confluence of increasingly accessible developer tools and the Internet, it's now reasonable to think that one or two talented people, with little to no investment, can make …
Fuck the VCs: Following up on my last post, I think John Casasanta put it quite succinctly: Fuck the VCs

After nearly two years of using my Canon EOS 350D/Rebel XT, I've been itching to upgrade to a new, more prosumer body. The Rebel line of SLRs is a great introductory SLR, but I'm finding myself hitting a few edges that I'm confident that Canon's just announced EOS 50D …
One of the best tricks I've developed since the release of Leopard is listening back to my newspaper column prior to sending it into the paper. I tried this in the past, but the less than stellar voice acting by Mac OS X made it hard to get a real feel for how the …
