Missing in Khao Lak, Thailand
Family members of a close friend of mine are still missing in Thailand and they’re now doing everything they can to try and find them:
For four long days, Roy Maguire waited by the telephone, trying to will his vacationing brother-in-law and wife to call from stricken Thailand to say everything’s okay. The call never came, […]
Wikipedia on the tsunami

Kevin Sites in Thailand
Kevin Sites, a freelance reporter who’s been in Iraq for the past year reporting on the war, was in Thailand when the tsunami hit and is now reporting from there: Paradise Tossed . A hell of a vacation.

Why is Windows always harder?
I’ve pretty much stopped actively Windows-bashing since a) it’s too easy and b) I was getting bored by it. I now use both platforms equally much in the course of a day, Mac on the left side of my desk, PC on my right, and it works just fine.

So self-referrential it’s self
Apparently I’m in a book
