Over at TechCrunch, Michael Arrington wrote Too Few Women In Tech? Stop Blaming The Men, in which he said: [Women] are literally hounded to speak at every single tech event in the world because they are all trying so hard...

We know, you're saying to yourself all the time: why haven't Tom and Dori blogged more? Or posted on Facebook more? Or even tweeted more? (And you are all saying that, right? Right?) So here's the deal: if you want...

My report: yes, you can. On a recent trip, I left the MacBook at home and brought my iPad. This also allowed me to leave the big Timbuk2 Classic Laptop Messenger Bag behind; I carried the iPad onboard in an...

I mentioned this last week on Twitter, which then automatically goes to Facebook, but I didn't put it up here on the blog (which, come to think of it, also now goes automatically to Facebook). So for those of you...

This week is WWDC, so I've been doing a lot of reading about Apple's announcements. Last night I drove into SF, and spent several hours talking to attendees to hear their thoughts. My takeaway: Apple, more than ever, needs a...

I've dealt with so much medical stuff over the years that I've gotten to be pretty decent at diagnosing myself, and often things going on with Dori, too. Sometimes it's for things that I've had before, and other times for...

Tom’s back in the hospital—it turns out that he caught some kind of infection post-op, and it’s turned septic (note that this is not the same thing as septic shock, which he had four years ago). They’re pumping him full...

Today, it's been three weeks since my surgery for kidney cancer. I thought that I'd put down how I'm feeling, as well as memorializing here on the blog what's been going on since the hospital. It's been on Twitter and...

My surgery is on Friday April 9 around noon (if you don't know why I'm going under the knife, see here). We expect that I'll be 3 hours in the operating room, followed by a couple of hours in the...

A week ago, I wrote this on Twitter: I've had one of those days that I understand are quite character-building. I was alluding to that old chestnut, "Adversity builds character." And what made me think of that was a phone...

Multiple Oscar winners: The Hurt Locker: 6 Avatar: 3 Precious: 2 Crazy Heart: 2 Up: 2 For those who are unfamiliar with me doing this, you can find previous year's Oscarblogging at: 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009...

Here's my report of two competing 3D systems, using Avatar as the test subject. First, some preliminary reading: This report from the 3D Vision Blog is a rundown of the three 3D systems in widespread use in the US. Right...

Earlier today, I was using Pages '09, and I attempted to open a document that I'd opened many times before, though perhaps not since upgrading to either iWork '09 or Snow Leopard. Boom. Pages crashed (that's what happens when programs...

Because the iPad is meant to be held in the hand. The main reason for the iSight cameras on Macs or Apple monitors is to do video iChats (yes, I know about Photo Booth, which people use once, go "Huh."...

There's been a lot of screaming and ranting lately over the current state of HTML5—what is it, what's in it, who controls it, who will implement it, and so on. There's no shortage of good essays, and here are some...
