Polar Clock
I found this Polar Clock via the UX Magazine homepage and think it’s really cool….would make a great watch (I don’t think Toyko Flash has anything quite like it yet) or a screensaver (possibly for an iPhone?):

A Trip to the Kwik-E-Mart

Tivo in Canada
I had originally planned to post about TiVo and other PVR options but this post is pretty long in just talking about my TiVo experiences so I’ll split the topic into a couple of posts. Stay tuned for future posts about using a PC based PVR solution as well as using an Xbox (the first…

Whoops
Just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress (isn’t that what all geeks do on their vacation?) and of course my theme isn’t compatible…so you get the default until I make it work or find another one. UPDATE: And we’re back…just had to comment out one line of PHP code and the world is once…
