Philly WordPress Meetup - THIS SATURDAY, Dec. 17
December 13, 2005

“What’s this?” you ask. “This meetup is a week early!”

That’s right! The dates have changed to avoid these blasted holidays. It seems like every week we have a meetup there is some holiday like Christmas or Memorial Day or something. So the monthly Philadelphia WordPress meetups are now the third Saturday of the month.

Meetup time is 2pm. Immediately following the WordPress meetup at 3pm (at least, last I looked) is the Philadelphia Weblogger Meetup. It’s mostly Blogspot users, but they’re a fun group of prolific Philly bloggers. It’s nice to see how the others live.

Why iPods Suck
December 08, 2005

I’m having trouble finding a concise argument against buying an iPod. It’s not that I think that there is none, just that everyone who rants about them doesn’t bother to point out the individual flaws that make up the complete picture of how awful the device is.

It’s likely that the reason is because people are so angry after trying to use iPods that they can’t form coherent thought. At least, that’s how I imagine it.

Maybe it’s just odd for PC users, and Mac users don’t have trouble. I think the underlying problem is how Apple tried to make it very easy to use, and then failed to make it usable.
