Yep, sure is, and nothing to feel terribly bad about. A good part of creativity and motivation is morale and emotional. Having a loss like this (my condolences) is always a huge impact, and it takes time to rebuild a bit after that. The good thing is that you will, and it'll come faster if you don't try to force it.

You know, I think I like the Genndy Tartakovsky cell-drawn version better.

I'm not sure I want to be killed by animals after throwing rocks at them in the moonlight, but it would help be run and discover new land, albeit for a little while.

Hey Tom:

Looks like you don't have the right path specified in your $PATH

Try changing "/applications/airsdk/bin" to "/tom/applications/airsdk/bin" and see if that works for you.

Yeah, the problem with most "bird sanctuaries" are the many other, less desirable winged creatures you encounter.

Definite Congrats are in order. As well as a sincere thank you for all you've done with MBL and Yahoo! in general. You will be missed. I'm happy to hear you're move for a couple of reasons; 1) I'm excited to see what you come up with and 2) Now I have someone at Nokia I can bitch at. Yay!

I'm looking for something that has a form factor of "pocket sized", meaning that it fits comfortably with a shirt pocket, has a battery life of about four hours use, wifi.g and has a mini b usb connector for power and drive access. it should have a mininum of 8 GB with a SDHD expansion slot. Touch control and a slide out keyboard would be nice, but external quick access buttons for things like power, volume, and directionals are a must. It should support installing third party applications so that folks can do clever things with it outside of original intent. Other "nice to haves", standard sized phono/mic jack(s), bluetooth, USB master capabilities (obviously unpowered), Wi* (wimax, etc.) capabilities (although bluetooth may solve that) The "phone" bit isn't really required for me, but also a nice to have (possibly because I generally seem to have some other device acting as the phone). And yes, the N810 is pretty darn close.

sigh.

Sadly, your post makes a good deal of sense. For what it's worth, I still hold that One Yahoo was a mistake and that things were better when it was a loosely bound confederation of businesses.

Still, the best thing to do is to be a careful observer of things. Keep good notes. Experiment, and enjoy working somewhere with the full knowledge that when/if things explode in a fiery ball, you won't be one of the folks holding the smoldering pieces.
