Android continues on its forward march of progress, with updates coming out seemingly every week these days. The improvements are significant, the joy to the users is unending, and the success, fantastic.
Now, finally, the hardware seems to live up to the potential of the OS...
Whoa, whoa, whoa... back up just one sec...
The N1 is quite the distinguished offering. It has style, performance, and the Google name behind it. It is, IMHO, a superior offering to the Motorola Droid which, by all indications, should've been the "superphone" that everyone wanted. Unfortunately, Motorola released it for Verizon. Yet another boneheaded decision from Moto. You guys are the best.
Anyway, the Droid has been love-hate for a lot of users, particularly the users that have 'come over to the dark side' from the iPhone. It's not an iPhone guys, sorry, but what it is, is better. There's a hundred and one reasons why, not gonna get into it (if you really must now, go Google it.) The N1, though, promises to have all the hardware to keep Android chugging along famously.
Thing is, Android is chugging along famously already. I have Android blazing away on my MyTouch 3G, I have friends with G1s (first-gen "Google" phones) that have Android blazing away (okay, maybe "blazing" is a bit strong... how about "briskly moving along.") I'm glad the N1 is out, I'm glad the hardware is good, I'm glad it looks as awesome as it does (and it does look awesome.) I just don't know that it's really the superduperawesomeness that everyone seems to think it is. Time will tell. In the meantime, check out this review.

Whoa, neat! A Vista power toy that doesn't suck!
Ever get your hands on an ISO (if you don't know what that is, this probably doesn't apply to you, LOL) and then rummage around looking for some way to burn it. Particularly some easy way to burn it?
Rummage no longer, dear friends! Click here to download and install the ultimate in ISO-burning awesomeness. And it's free. That's right, free. Can there be anything more awesome? Yes, of course there can - but right now this is what we're working with.
Give it a shot. Simple, easy, and refreshingly to the point. Blam!

So I upgraded/updated to MT4pointWhatever (at this point I just don't much care) and it's got some... interesting new features. Nothing too spectacular - not like their big interface change back in 3pointWhatever - but some interesting additions.
The thing is, Wordpress is rocking the socks offa Movable Type. I have a couple of Wordpress installs rolling around, and the newest versions are just plain sexy. They have great support, lots of plugins and widgets, it's easy to templatize... I mean, MT has a lot going for it, but it's really starting to feel stale.
I've added researching this matter to my queue. We'll just see if there's any truth to this, or if I'm just irritable because all my fonts look funky and messed up in MT.

During my travels through the hinternet (yes, the "hinternet", as in hinterlands of the net) I often run into some pretty amazing stuff. Sometimes it's news, sometimes it's hardware... there's no end to the potential oddness. Here's the most amazing keyboard ever, the Optimus Maximus.
Any keyboard that has a price tag of $1,600... for a keyboard... has just got to be amazing. And it is. I don't know that it's $1,600 worth of amazing, but it certainly has a lot going for it. Go check it out and be ready for Maximum Ogling. Hooray for crazy-expensive-yet-undeniably-cool technology.
