Interesting article by Joi Ito about Korean bloggers and “hompy”. Even Wikipedia doesn’t have this word in it…

Loosing Google’s Lock on the Past – New York Times

Read about 1/2 of this week’s Economist at the gym yesterday, this is one great article…
The Sun Sets on Oasis
Though I don’t like this restaurant, it is an Austin landmark and apparently loved by a lot of people, sad news…
Some pics I found at AAS’s site, pretty crazy!!
Around 4:30 a.m. this morning, the Oasis restaurant caught fire. Reports say the restaurant, whose main draw was the porches that gave Austinites and tourists a spectacular view of the sunset, is destroyed.
Reports have not yet indicated if the restaurant will be rebuilt (we’re guessing so). There are no reports on injuries or what started the fire.
We didn’t care much for the food, but feel bad that this Austin landmark is gone. And we can’t help but wonder where this leaves the employees and people who’ve booked weddings there.
Austinist feels this news may also affect some of our weekend tourists, as we happened to be at the Oasis during the biker rally a few years ago. We are sure our readers have a few suggestions as to where they can get a bite to eat.
Safari and login credentials
Is there a good reason Apple decided they wouldn’t integrate Keychain with Safari so it remember passwords in web forms? Right now webserver-base passwords are remember and automatically used to authenticate, but not form-base ones. And unfortunately, most websites like banks and credit cards use form-base username/password authetication.
Almost all other browsers have this, I think Konqeuror, which is what Safari was based, integrates KWallet to do this (correct me if I’m wrong about this, I haven’t used Konqueror for more than a year, pretty much stopped using it since Firefox).
Heron Pinot Noir
Picked up a couple of these from World Market a couple of weeks back, great stuff! And for $8 a bottle (it was on sale) it was a crazy deal… Wish I had bought a couple cases of them… 😀
Anonymous rating at Photo.Net
I really don’t like the new anonymous rating feature at Photo.Net!! And from quickly browsing their site feedback forum, I am not the only one who doesn’t like it!
Will the 3/2 rater please stand up? Anybody who gives less than 3 should be required to leave a critique, that’s how I can learn, or how they can justify their ratings… I’m not terribly upset about it, it’s happened before even without anonymous rating, but I just don’t quite understand the point of this new feature at this great site…
no more sticky left shift key
I couldn’t stand the sticky left shift key anymore, so today I brought my laptop to the Genius Bar, Alex took a look at my shift key, removed the key, found some gluey stuff underneath… He used some stuff to clean it up an wala, no more sticky left shift key!! Me very happy, it’s like having a new laptop!! (I type pretty fast for those who don’t know me, a sticky shift key was very very annoying; I expect a key to jump right back up after I release it, if I hear “key popping back up sound” when I don’t expect to it annoys me greatly!!)
Alex also looked at the worn-off paint below my fn and command keys, and ordered new parts for me to replace the case around the keyboard, I’ll bring my laptop in to get that replace when the part arrives… Very nice!
