Rogue's Harbor Today
(1 vote)

Image Eileen Stout has owned the Rogue's Harbor Inn for 14 years. "I was running the jewelry store next store, and the person that was here went bankrupt, and I thought, 'what a beautiful building, and it's been treated very badly.' So I bought it, a little bit naively, of course, and started working on it. It took a few years to get it where it is now, and I'm still always fixing little things. I love it."

In 2005 she celebrated the 175th anniversary of the inn with a year-long celebration. The celebration is running the whole year "since we don't know exactly when they started." Events have included wine tastings from all the Cayuga vineyards, in June there were half priced steamed mussels and clams, and there are specials for each month listed on their web site. The celebration will culminate on New Year's eve with food specials, entertainments and possibly some give-aways.

Mac vs PC Part 1

Image Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
I've been a PC guy since the beginning.  I didn't like Apples, because in their quest to make everything easy for users, they assumed I was an idiot, preventing me from doing many of the things I want to do on a computer.  I have to say that the evangelistic self-righteous zeal of many Apple users also turned me off.  But the bottom line was that I just didn't like using them.

I love my current PC.  It is a fast, powerful beast with plenty of memory and storage.  It runs Windows XP Media Center edition, and it does everyting I want it to.  The fans are getting noisy, though, and I wonder if other parts may go.  So I have started thinking about my next computer, and strangely it is a Mac.

Internet Radio
(1 vote)
One of my favorite things when I had an AOL account was AOL Radio. It had largely commercial free programming -- a few ads were interspersed with the content, with stations to suit every taste. On top of that it showed who was playing and what song they were performing. And if you really liked a song it offered links to purchase the CD, plus links to information about the artists and the music. I had tried many other on-line radio offerings, but none matched AOL's variety, ease of use, rich feature set and refreshing lack of popup advertisements.

Humor: ii Announced at Macworld
(1 vote)
San Francisco -- Steve Jobs is expected to make a stunning announcement at this year's Macworld keynote speech when he announces the ii (pronounced eye-eye), an innovation that is expected to turn the computing industry on its ear and revolutionize technology.

The ii is a chip that will be installed in customers brains at mall kiosks and Apple Store retail locations in much the same way ear piercing is performed.
