We're all moved in to SF now and my roommates are getting their first taste of TiVo. Adam says, "TiVo is great. I won't watch regular TV again." And he isn't new to PVRs. He used one on his computer for a while.

We had to give presentations on famous photographers in my photo 1 class. It's crazy how shitty PowerPoint looks. Living in a Mac world, I'm spoiled by Keynote with its smooth fonts and graphics, OpenGL transitions, and slick animations.

Right now Apple is having a special on 14" G4 iBooks for employees. They are $999 for the 1GHz model. I've already ordered SIX for people in the past couple weeks. If you are interested, email me.

Setting up a wireless network should be easy. Three years ago Apple pioneered simple wireless networks with Airport. Everything was plug and play, and antennas were built into computers. It took the industry 2 years to catch up.

We're trying to setup a network in my house with two wireless bases on the same network so that as you walk through the house, your computer picks the strongest signal and you never cut out. After two weeks (about 8 hours of actually working on this) we figured out that every base we tried (Netgear and Linksys) didn't support some of the protocols we needed.

Guess what? Apple's airport supports them all. It costs more, now I see why.

update: we're trying to mount our base in the hall, but there's no power there! Too bad our base can't get power over ethernet. The airport bases can.
