My last full day in my house, and so far it has been a great day. I got the peeps at Swiftknowledge to take way all my computers and networking gear. I had the junk guy show up and haul all my crap away. The painter showed up and fixed what needed fixing. I had …
I’m currently in Texas staying with my friend Scott Kurtz for a few days. He’s got a really nice Mac setup and hopefully, I’ll figure out what I’m doing with my video camera and editing software before I leave here. If everyone is nice, I’ll try to have some video up this weekend. I drove …

The beta version of Google Earth 5.0 has been released. You can download it here. The new version looks pretty nice. Improvements to the UI and a much better view of the ocean floor. I mention this as a reminder to people to check out my other blog, Where On Google Earth. The site is …
I arrived in Vigan. It really is different from anything else in the Philippines. Sadly, the 200-300 year old buildings are better structures than what people live in, in most of the country. I have developed a bad cold from the temperature drop and rain in Banaue and Bagiuo. The long bus rides I’m sure …
