John Gruber has a white-hot response to Paul Boutin‘s recent Slate article that claims that Apple may end up losing market share to Linux. I think he’s right on the money (Gruber, that is…)
UPDATE: Scott Rosenberg’s gentler criticism also makes sense to me.
Ok, I’d still like a few more pledges for the Pride and Remembrance 5K that Brooke and I are running on Saturday. I’ve made it very very easy to sponsor me, too. You see, there’s a little graphic over on the right side. It’s going to be removed in a few days, because by then it will be too late. So, if you can spare as little as $10 (Canadian!), and you want to support a good cause, start clicking! Special thanks to Heather and Rannie for their generosity.
Welcome Bob Sawyer to the sidebar. Bob’s weblog is a beautifully designed marvel of CSS and XHTML goodness. Plus, I like Bob. I think Bob and I could be friends. Whaddya say, Bob?
I downloaded the “final” 1.0 release of Apple’s browser, Safari, just as soon as it was posted yesterday. So far, I’m unhappy. A few sites I visit regularly have been misbehaving. One weblog’s colours disappear below the point where I have to scroll. Another bulletin board site doesn’t register my postings until I manually refresh the page. What’s up, Apple?
I’ve decided to try out a new spam-filtering service called KnowSpam, so if you try to send me a message and get a “prove you’re a human” response, please don’t be offended. It will only happen once. The service has been recommended by a few people I respect, and if you sign up before July 15, it’s free until the beginning of next year.
