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…

Virtual PC for Windows
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.

Money, Oil and Power
The Agonist: Money, Oil and Power. Agonist is an interesting read. Here’s a good piece about the highground of global politics. Also points out where the UK may be headed and China too.

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…

8x DVD-Burners…
AnandTech: Spring 2004 DVD Performance Roundup: More DVD Dual 8X . A good roundup. They liked the NuTech DDW-082 the best. Just $85. The major caveat though is that you should wait until this summer to buy a DVD Burner if you can. The new 16x drives are coming and they support dual layer, so…

King County Fishing Lakes in
King County Fishing Lakes in Washington State. I think I noted this already, but if you want to fish on Lake Washington, here’s the site to check out. The other thing to go is to visit Lincs on Rainer Avenue. We never caught a single fish in Lake Washington until we visited them. They just…

Freedom to Tinker: What is a Speedbump?. Wow, this guy is sure smart. He’s a Professor at Princeton and I had the privilege of meeting him recently. Good notes on speedbumps as a way to slow down security and privacy issues. _hat tip to Ludwig for that_
