Clearing out miscellaneous photos from this week: 1) The library near our new house has a decent section of books in chinese where I found an HTML 4 book. I wonder what my mom would think of it. 2) I was first into our CEO's private conference room at 7:45am one morning this week for a meeting with a potential web site content partner. It always bugs me that there's not an LCD flat panel on the wall showing our web site along with the magazine and bulletin covers. 3) Another shipment from the TED2006 bookclub arrived containing Steven Johnson's Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter and Neil Gershenfeld's FAB: The Coming Revolution on Your Desktop--From Personal Computers to Personal Fabrication. 4) Our architect came up with a last-minute breakthrough for a much better layout for our web team's new meeting room and usability testing lab. 5) While waiting to meet our director of broadcast at the restaurant of the Hotel Monaco, I saw that the Washington Post featured a phonecam photo on the front page for the first time. Keith Jenkins, a former HN moblogger, and now the paper's photo editor, posts a better image on his Flickr photostream. 6) Here's the Firefly phone all configured and loaded with extra minutes taking some extra juice. 7) Watching Kill Bill Volume 1 on Sony PSP UMD tonight.
