One of people’s big complaints is that the iPhone doesn’t have MMS. This isn’t a problem for me because I don’t use MMS. But can MMS be added in firmware/software? I don’t really know MMS, so I don’t know whether it has hardware requirements the iPhone doesn’t have.

Leo Laporte and Amber interviewed Scott Sigler on net@nite episode 17, “There’s something wrong with the sheep.” This really inspired me to someday publish a book online, and I think you should definitely do it right away if you have the time to do so. And let me know if you do! I’d be happy to promote it. I highly recommend to this section of the podcast, about 12 minutes long:
What’s Twitter, you ask? It’s a blog where you answer just one question, in 140 characters or less: “What are you doing?” People think it’s surprising that this is interesting and addicting. I don’t agree with them; it’s always been a fascination to see what other people are up to, and what’s better is that you can often join up with them or help them out. It’s a way of communication, a way to broadcast any short thoughts that happen to be in your mind at the moment. And it’s fast, easy, and free.
So who’s Leo Laporte?
(Not a great title, but maybe I’ll update it when I figure out what the real name of this is.)
I was listening to Leo Laporte’s KFI Podcast this morning when he got a call from a person whose grandmother had spyware on her computer. Now, there are lots of ways that spyware can get on your computer. Mainly, they’re clicking on links, visiting websites, or downloading files. She claims he has never done any of these things. She uses only MSN Messenger. So nobody knows exactly how the spyware got there.
Bill Nye the Science Guy was born on November 27, 1955, making him 50 years old today (if my math is right). He is a mechanical engineer who graduated from Cornell in 1977 with a B.S., and became licensed in the state of Washington in 1983. He developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor used by Boeing in the 747.

“In the beginning, weblogs were created by Web professionals or by hobbyists who had taught themselves HTML. If you are one of these people, you will find designing and maintaining a weblog to be a breeze. You already have the knowledge to evaluate and the skill to use any of the current weblog management tools. Even if you plan to code your site by hand, take the time to investigate the available tools; they can greatly simplify the management of your site. But these days most new webloggers do not have a technical background and for them there is a vast mysterious expanse between ‘I’m going to start a weblog’ and ‘There! My first entry is up.’
