Dave and Marianne Getting Married
Weddingchannel.com. Amazing how cyber weddings have become. Wedding Channel is a great example of a .com that actually makes sense. Bet they are making lots of money. I expect there are lots of site like this or “Classmates”:http://classmates.com or “Reunions”:http://reunions.com that make sense is the expense structure is low enough.

Tears of the Sun: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
Netflix: Tears of the Sun. I must be getting sentimental in my old age. This was a hard movie to watch. The acting certain isn’t anything to write home about, but the story is incredibly compelling (at least to me). Its a dramatization of what happens in Africa, with ethnic cleansing in the most graphic…

Hawaii 2004: Lanikai and Kailua
BNB-Hawaii.com. We had a great time in Hawaii. Connie has a way of picking particularly wonderful properties. If you have kids or want to get away from the Maui/Waikiki tourist scene, the Kailua area is just great. Its about 20-30 minutes from Honolulu, but feels a world away. It is on one of the most…

a little ludwig goes a long way: VM software. It’s amazing that there aren’t more VM things coming out particularly given all the hyperthreading, Palladium and other things that Intel is doing.

Gmail reviews by Adamb
Adam Bosworth’s Weblog: GMail, et al. Adam’s one of the very best and smartest. Great comments on gmail vs. mailblocks. I’ve tried gmail and I have to say I love the user interface. Reminds me of vi in its parsimony.

Ludwig picks up a cool notebook
a little ludwig goes a long way: JVC Interlink 7310 at Dynamism. Now that my Compaq laptop has died, I’m down to just an iMac and Blackberry at work. Seems like I need more. John’s right, an ultra light notebook plus a fast desktop is a better combination than a huge notebook that’s heavy. He’s…

Essential Software
Essentials | Gadgetopia. Great list of essential utilities. The ones I don’t have but have to try are: * Sharpreader for RSS feed reading. I tried RSS readers, but gave up because there were too many blogs to read. * “irfanview”:http://www.irfanview.com/. Simple image editing * “editplus”:http://www.editplus.com/ on Windows.

Hitachi 7K400 – 400GB Drive!
www.hardwarezone.com? Hitachi 7K400 Review. First review of the incredible 400GB drive from Hitachi. Seems like it is super for AV applications. Main issue is that it will run *hot* with 5 platters of 80GB each. Cost is about $400 in limited quantities and there is also a 400GB DVD recorder called the Hitachi MS-DS400 that…
