Apple Admits MacBook Hard Drives Defective, Offers Free Repair Program
Am I living on borrowed time with my Black Macbook? The fan has been making a lot of noise lately, but the drive seems ok. Of course, they all do until they fail.

I absolutely scared the crap out of some girl on the way home from work tonight.
I was crossing the street by Cafe Brucke, and there were several cars lined up on Windsor waiting to make a left onto Prospect. I started across Windsor as the first car made his turn — and just as I got to the halfway point the second car was going to blow through the stop sign and follow him. She had to stop when she saw the traffic coming from her right, but she never even glanced to the left. Had I not stopped she would have plowed right through me.
So as I’m standing there, I decided to knock on her driver-side window. Were she not belted in, I think she would have jumped through the roof. Never saw me until that point. I gave her a “WTF?!” shrug and made my way around the back of the car.
Please keep your eyes open when you’re driving. You’re not on a walled-off go-kart track, there are actually things going on around you.

In less than a week I’ll be laying on a beach horribly sunburned/hungover and enjoying every minute of it.

The World According To Buchs is dead. Long live The World According To Buchs
The whole long-form-blog-post thing just didn’t work for me anymore. I played with Twitter for a while, but that was a little restrictive. Facebook was fun, but not easy to share with the outside world.
Enter tumblr — and here’s hoping that I can keep up with it.
The iPhone app is great, and the tumblr bookmarklet/chrome extension is a very handy way for me to quickly post text, links, photos, etc. Plus I can automatically import things I send directly to Twitter or Flickr, as well as forward new posts back to Twitter and Facebook.
To make things look more “official”, I’ve pointed my own domain to their servers, which temporarily screwed up my entire hosting setup. But I think I’ve got everything in order now.
Fingers crossed.

Innovation Masters Series | Stanford University
Hey, look at that! I didn’t even notice that a site we did recently for Stanford is up and running. Looks like an absolutely fascinating program that is completely out of my price range and zip code.
