  • I should know better than to go to Fry’s.

    Yesterday I went on an impromptu trip to Fry’s with Ken, and true to form, I bought another digital camera. If anyone knows of good streaming/conferencing applications for OSX, please let me know. I’ve tried a lot of the stuff out there years ago, but it’s been a while since I was Mr. A/V. I’ve been messing with iChatAV beta (and the AIM support is cool), but it is unable to conference more than one person at a time. What I really want is a good cross platform multi-person conference app with decent video quality.

    Until I find the uber-app, I’m using it as a quick way to update the pictures on Project Corn

    SeattleWireless Lists

    Good deal on Go sets.

    The Wizards of the Coast store at Northgate Mall is going out of business and has nice big Go sets on sale for $42. If you’ve been looking for a decent set, go grab one before they run out.
