RSS Readers and Rich Client Myths

I installed iPhone OS 2.0 on my iPhone last Thursday, and immediately set to work pimping out my phone with every halfway decent-looking free app I could cram into its eight shiny gigabytes of flash space. This included NetNewsWire, which I used t...

Helen and I went to the 13th Annual Art and Garden Walk this afternoon down in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. We had a blast, especially since Helen picked up a Canon Rebel XTi earlier this week.  She’s adapting pretty well to the camera...
