Camera phones

Friends Don't Let Friends Use Camera Phones. Heh.

Who is (999) 980-0021?

For some reason, we've received a ton of phone calls lately on all three of our voice lines where caller ID says the caller is someone at (999) 980-0021. If we pick up the phone, the caller hangs up. If we let the answering machine get it, the caller hangs up. According to this page, there is no area code 999. Or maybe it's someone in Mexico?

Anyone else getting these calls?

Budget deficit

It's been blogged all over the place, but it can't be seen too many times: an infographic of the US Budget surplus/deficit. Which is better "tax & spend," or "don't tax, but still spend like the bill's never going to have to be paid"?

Inside Out wins Award

Blowing my own horn: I heard today that my book, Microsoft Office v. X for Mac Inside Out, won an Excellence Award from the Society of Technical Communications at their awards banquet last week. Thanks and congratulations to my co-authors, Kirk McElhearn, Kate Binder, and Curt Frye.
