Windows Vista on our Macs

I spent Easter in the lab putting Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 on one of the Macs using Apple Boot Camp. Plan is to do all of them. Everything worked except that every time I shut Vista down it goes to a blue screen and a memory dump. Then when I log in, it tells me it crashed last time and would I like Vista to look for a solution. I say yes, and the message goes away. Period.

Two or Three Kinds of People

There are two kinds of people in this world, people trying to make a living off the Internet, and people trying to get everything for free on the Internet. Often people are in one category during the day and switch to the other after work.

Well, there is a third kind of person, the person who makes things available for free on the Internet. Boy, do we very love/hate those folks.

Apture

Bumped into a Greek fellow in Second Life today, Nikos Elcano. He is interested in use of interlinking Internet media in health education, viewing the entire Web as one big Wiki. He introduced me to Apture, the service that makes all these little multimedia pop-up links work. Soon, all the world will be a mindmap.
