Daily Photo – Zermatt in the Evening
This is one of my favorite times of night while traveling. It’s that blue dusk after a long day. I’m hungry and tired and just trying to capture a little bit more light before finding some food for the night.
This is the town of Zermatt, a cozy little mountain village nestled up in the Alps. It’s charming and filled with all the sorts of things you would hope would fill a little mountain town.
Cupertino, CA — Good news, Munchkins.
A new version of OS X is coming soon — designed especially for those who suffer a fear of upgrading.
OS X Cowardly Lion makes it easy to put your entire system at risk, integrating 200+ visual and verbal cues from MGM’s classic The Wizard of Oz.
“Cowardly Lion is all about courage,” says Craig Federighi, Apple’s vice president of Mac Software Engineering. “The courage to hit the Buy button.”
Among the confidence-building features built into Cowardly Lion:
• Modernized cursor. Out with the arrow, in with a ruby slipper.
• Yellow-brick iCal and Address Book themes. No more faux leather.
• Glenda Intelligent Assistant. Basically just Siri, but with a better name.
• Safari “Go Home.” Click the mouse three times and say “There’s no place like Home Page.”
• Wizard Mode. “Pull the curtain” on any screen to reveal the UNIX code beneath.
With potential feline monikers nearly depleted, Cowardly Lion couldn’t come at a better time. It allows Apple to make a seamless transition from cat names to Oz-based names. Sources say that the next three versions of OS X are already mapped out: OS X Scarecrow, OS X Wicked Witch and OS X Flying Monkey.
Cowardly Lion will be available as a $29 download from the App Store. The 5-user Munchkin Pack is only $79.
That blows previous deals out of the water. The TrendNet kit uses your existing electrical wiring to ferry Ethernet from here to there.
It may cost $30 less than a new Fire, but it comes with the same one-year warranty. What’s not to like?

So what the hell is “highlining” anyway?
Wikipedia describes it this way;
Highlining is slacklining at elevation above the ground or water. Many slackliners consider highlining to be the pinnacle of the sport. Highlines are commonly set up in locations that have been used or are still used for Tyrolean traverse. When rigging highlines, experienced slackers take measures to ensure that solid, redundant and equalized anchors are used to secure the line into position. Modern highline rigging typically entails a mainline of webbing, backup webbing, and either climbing rope or amsteel rope for redundancy. It is also common to pad all areas of the rigging which might come in contact with abrasive surfaces. To ensure safety, most highliners wear a climbing harness or swami belt with a leash attached to the slackline itself; however, unleashed walks of highlines are not unheard of.
HP TouchPad and RIM PlayBook owners can also get in on the deal, which is good for life. Unfortunately, Dropbox-style desktop syncing isn’t part of the equation.
