I was just reading this article from Brian Livingston about WPA, and was getting ready to switch my AirPort Express over to WPA from WEP. Then, I remembered that I have a PSP, so I did a bit of searching to see if the PSP supported WPA. Apparently not. Oh well. Maybe they’ll fix this with a firmware upgrade at some point.
MoMA.org – Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata: Masters of Animation
I’ve already missed most of the Miyazaki thing at MoMA. Still, maybe I can make it in and see Castle in the Sky next week.
Pogues Posts – New York Times
David Pogue’s blog-like page at the New York Times. He’s one of my favorite tech writers.
cacls revisited
More silliness with Windows file permissions. This time, I’m getting them all straightened out: cacls *.pdf /t /e /g "Andrew Huey":F SYSTEM:F
New Comic Con in New York
There will be a new comic convention held in New York next year. It’s being run by a company that’s apparently quite big. The con will be at the Javits Center. This could be interesting.
Frank Thorne
More on Frank Thorne from www.lambiek.net, an “antiquarian comic shop” in Amsterdam.
Illustrated History of Union County
I noticed something interesting in the Westfield catalog this month: An Illustrated History of Union County, by Frank Thorne. There are some sample pages here. Based on this message, it appears that this strip was originally published in the Daily Journal back in 1951. As a former Union County resident, and Frank Thorne fan, I think I’ll need to pick this up. Actually, I may need to pick up a few copies and send them off to other former Union County residents, too.
Wizard World Philly
I went to Wizard World Philly today. I spent a few bucks on comics, went to a JMS Q&A, and the “Cup ‘o Joe” panel with Joe Quesada. Very entertaining. The con was crowded, but not annoyingly so. Plenty of room to move around, and no problem getting into the panels.
COHEED AND CAMBRIA
Wow. I was just checking out the web site for Coheed And Cambria, and they’ve got a note up that they’re going to have a booth at Comic-Con. And they’re playing two shows in S.D. during the con. That’s just too cool.
EverNote
EverNote — another interesting little note-taking application. Currently in beta. Looks like it might be better than OneNote, in some ways.
