• timstahmer: Power was out when I woke up this morning. Amazing how dark the house is without all the LED displays to light the way.
• timstahmer: I'm not going to be able to stay awake for Biden's speech. I'll catch the rerun somewhere on line tomorrow. Night all.

• timstahmer: Clinton and Kerry were good but I can't imagine sitting in that hall for hours listening to all the speeches.
• timstahmer: "The Grand Old Party is no longer grand, just old" - Adm. Hudson. Two retired General-class military in a row.
• timstahmer: I didn't know Kerry was such a forceful speaker. Did he learn that in the last four years?
• timstahmer: @garystager Only if you're watching C-SPAN. The talking-heads channels are talking to each other.

Tim’s Top 10 Tools as at 27 July 2007

1. MacBook Pro - Without a doubt the best, most reliable notebook computer I’ve ever used.

2. Firefox - What else would anyone use?

3. NetNewsWire - While web-based RSS aggregators are good, I prefer a client program for the speed and greater flexibility, and this is the best.

4. ecto - A great tool for composing, editing, and posting to my blog. It has a few bugs but is still much better than even the WordPress interface.

5. WordPress - However, this is still the tool running the show and doing an excellent job of it.

6. Aperture - Fast becoming an indispensable tool for organizing my photo collection along with a pretty good image editor for basic functions.

7. Parallels - For those few times when I absolutely have to use a Windows application

8. Apple Mail - I don’t care much about email so I want a tool that’s simple and does a good job of filtering the spam crap. Mail is it.

9. del.icio.us - This is a great tool for keeping track of both what I find on the web and what others have found.

10. Coda - My new favorite program for building and managing web sites.
