Looking forward to some cool new products this year... like Apple's "iSlate" on Jan 26th, better Androids, and, of course, Grabbit ;-).

California trans-fat ban goes into effect today... about time! I can't believe the idiots who are against it... do they have a death wish?

Happy New Year! I'm for calling it twenty-ten, but I hear a lot of two-thousand-ten's out there. Either way, hope it's a great one for you!

Good to be back home resting after my surprise triple bypass ... sure do love to feel it beating so strongly after all it's been through!

So, 9 days & 1 triple-bypass later, I'm committed to new beginnings, seeing more wonder, and savoring every moment as a precious gift.

People say I look young for my age, I keep myself in decent shape, I gobble health food & vitamins, but I still get a damn heart attack!

Well, tonight's the last night I'll be going to bed without some veins from my leg grafted onto my heart... weird.

Got to see a video of my heart working during my angiogram... cool! Not so cool: getting tranferred to SF for triple-bypass on Thursday.

I've had really bad asthma since I was born, and now it looks like the asthma meds may have weakened my heart... in the cardio ward now :-(.

I just changed a lightbulb, and since it only took me, there was no material for classic lightbulb comedy :-(.

Google really does want it all: their Chrome browser is out, Chrome OS is coming soon, & now, ta-da, a new programming language called "Go."
