So, how does the iPod really sound? Click here to find out.

Personally, I think mine sounds great. Can’t wait until the iTrip shows up.

Um, yeah. Despite all appearances, Frequency is not dead. Development continues. When Frequency 1.2 is released (hopefully in August), it will sport a new interface, support for more weblogging systems (Movable Type, GeekLog with the Blogger plugin, Radio, pMachine, EraBlog.NET, and anything Blogger API/MetaWeblog API compatible), and better post editing.

Truth be told, better post editing is what’s killing me right now.

If you’re interested in a beta of 1.2, contact me and I’ll hook you up.

And the burning question: Will Frequency support Pie/Echo/Not Echo/Atom? The burning answer: I don’t know. The move to SOAP instead of XML-RPC complicates matters. As long as the existing systems (particularly Blogger and Movable Type) continue to support their old APIs, I probably won’t rush to implement Pie/Echo/Not Echo/Atom. By the time they finalize the spec, I hope to have Frequency Pro comfortably in beta.

Frequency Pro? Yep. Self-contained desktop blogging system. Only server-side requirement is PHP, and even that’s not definite yet (but very likely).

Holy cow, it’s almost 12:30. Good morning and good night.

When I first designed this template, I really liked it.

Now, I think I’m ready for a change.

This template is too dull.

Crazy Apple Rumors: Mmmm. No. I hear the words coming out of your mouth but they just aren’t making any sense. I see your lips moving but all I hear is “Blah, blah, blah.” It’s like you’re speaking a different language…

Congratulations to Mike, recipe Dawn, search and Rob! At 9:26 this morning, Harold Francis Williams joined their ranks.

The burning question is: will this be enough for Mike to update his blog?

Here it is:

We picked it up last night, during the extremely nasty storm (fierce wind, torrential rain, crashing lightning, booming thunder, frightening hail, and wratch and such).

Now I just need one of these so I can listen to my iPod and not fill the car with CDs like I did the wagon.

And no, Bill, I didn’t buy it just to spite you. I’ve actually been planning (hoping for) this for a while now. The deals they offered this month proved too great for us to resist. They offered $1,000 back for the downpayment, they offered zero percent financing for five years, they accepted our GM Card money (which they usually don’t do), and they offered me way more than I expected for my wagon. When we arrived to do the paperwork, the salesman said, “Oh yeah, we found at lunchtime today that we’re offering an additional thousand dollars back.” So, that knocked another $1,000 from the loan amount.
