ZDNet's David Coursey still seems to be doing ok with his month-long experiment of switching to a Mac. Today he gushes about the new iMac.
Among the features he likes the most: the adjustability of the LCD monitor on its swivel and how quiet the iMac stays (even though this model does have a fan). He also likes the iPod, iTunes and iPhoto.

I have a pet peeve with Apple computers, one that I haven't commented on at all over the years - why in the hell do Macs all come with a single-button mouse? Sure, control-clicking gives me access to a lot of the features that a two-button mouse would offer, but I cannot think of a single reason why Apple still sticks with a one-button mouse. Are we who buy Macs not nimble-fingered enough to use a two-button mouse?

Jon Udell: "Dave's premise, and mine too, is that the Web has been in a state of arrested development since shortly after its birth. It was meant, from the start, to be a two-way collaborative writing environment, not a one-way publisher-to-reader environment. Tim Berners-Lee's ur-browser was, like the W3C's testbed browser Amaya still is, an HTML editor as well as viewer." [Scripting News]

Thanks to Robert Barksdale pointing out a setting I needed to tweak in my Radio preferences, I can now see the images in the Radio 8.0.3 editing interface when using Mozilla! I used the latest build of Mozilla a lot yesterday, but I still have problems with it crashing on me a few times a day. Still digging on that one...

I did a quick run through the DIY Web Services tutorial that Dave Winer wrote about this morning, and as you can see from the list below, it worked!
Now I need to figure out why the list of Weblogs from my favorites in the Weblogs.com interface of Radio 8.0.3 has so many repeating entries. Maybe it is a subtle push to get me to add more sites to my favorites...
