Unfortunately I need a similar article for Leopard. - Surprisingly fun making disk images and putting in background images and aliases and stuff.

plasticbag : I think it's in Swedish - an article about my thing at ETech that I don't understand in the slightest. Anyone help? - Particularly horrified by the picture, which captures my exhaustion and desire to get into trouble only partly as well as it gets my double chin and my 'raises handbags' gesture.

plasticbag : Yay! Bruce Sterling mentioned Fire Eagle in a blog post. Well, he referred to its rhetorical spimeiness. Which is probably a dig. But still. Rock! - He probably hates it. I don't mind! I still think he's neat.

plasticbag : Shoes with built-in GPS units that can broadcast your location! How awesome is that!? - Well unfortunately it's not that awesome, as it only seems to actually broadcast your location when you press a button, presumably as a consequence of being kidnapped or something. Fun though.

plasticbag : Urban Horizon has written a very thoughtful piece on Fire Eagle and where it fits into the industry - My particular favourite line is about the "Twitter for Location" description. I really hate that one too. I don't think it explains what we made at all well.

plasticbag : The funniest post I've read about Fire Eagle so far - did I say Fire Eagle? I meant Inferno Pigeon... - The thing I'm most proud of, I think, is that the quality of the team really shines through in the thing we made. However well it goes as a project, I think it's a classy thing.
