They make some interesting products! I like the power-only Firewire cable. Their line level portable audio out is neat too.

Printer connected to Airport Extreme Base Station stops working after firmware upgrade - fix
Macintouch Wireless Networking (Part 26): "Jason Froikin: AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express attached USB printers will often change ID's after a new firmware upgrade, even if you didn't rename the printer. It won't work again until you delete it from the Printer Setup Utility on your Mac and add it again via Rendezvous.
If you had the printer attached and turned on, sometimes the printer will get erroneous codes during the upgrade and get stuck. Turn off and detach the printer, restart the AirPort and, and reattach the printer. Then follow the instruction above."

USB audio output adapter
HarmonyExpress - Portable Sound Card
This would be much more interesting if it had a digital output. Odd device about the size of a thumb drive, plugs into USB port.

Blogger is in miserable shape

Blogger is in fine shape about 1/3 of the time, iffy another 1/3, and dead for the last 1/3. It's reallly in awful shape. If it were this bad early on I'd not have committed to it. Now, however, I can only wait and hope they're able to fix it. I haven't bothered sending them nasty letters -- it's clear they're working frantically. They grew too fast, without enough infrastructure. Their CEO left just in time ...

Their pixels are bigger than your pixels
Reflecting Pool
The astounding volume of information captured in a single gigapixel image.
Juxtapose this with the reality that our optic nerves can only handle a surprisingly small flow of information, and information flow to the prefrontal cortex is even more constrained.
What we perceive is a peculiar reconstruction of a vastly denser external world ...
