Bad news for some OS X drivers due with Jaguar
Mike Cohen adds his voice to those noting problems using some software drivers with OS X 10.2:
I confirmed that my Cisco Aironet 350 card doesn't work with Jaguar, as reported in MacFixit. I installed Jaguar on a separate partition on my G3 and re-installed the Cisco driver & utilities on that partition. When I ran the Aironet utility, it wouldn't recognize the card. It looks like I won't be running Jaguar on that machine until Cisco releases new drivers. I was really looking forward to using that machine as a print server under Jaguar. [Mike Cohen: MacOS X]
This is one of my major worries with making the leap to Jaguar next weekend, which I plan to do and to start documenting on Saturday morning. I don't have many things that require drivers, but I have yet to see any assurance that the driver for my new Samsung laser printer will work once I install OS X 10.2, and I wonder about the hotsync conduits for Palm and my organizer of choice, Personal Organizer from Chronos.

iPhone home?
The New York Times' John Markoff lays out the evidence of a new Apple product tentatively called the iPhone - a handheld computer and cell phone combo device - in Apple's chief in the risky land of the handhelds.
Is this another big rumor, or is there truth behind the story this time? What do you think of the idea of an iPhone? Let's talk...just send your comments through the Comments link.

Just how popular is NetNewsWire?
Brent Simmons' RSS aggregator program NetNewsWire Lite is a big hit, if my Web logs are any indicator. Nearly 21% of the traffic coming to Mac Net Journal this month is coming in through NetNewsWire Lite. This explains why the number of hits I am seeing in my Radio Userland stats page is dropping.

A Mt. Baker sojourn
Yesterday Natalie and I were away from home once again, doing more research for our Birding Washington book, and this time rather than venturing to the heat and fire-dotted landscape of Eastern Washington, we went north and into the mountains near Mt. Baker. This northern-most volcano in Washington state is worn and craggy, but it still steams from vents near the summit and we saw some of that steam while walking around in the snowbanks at the end of the road at a place called Artists' Point at 5,100 feet elevation. The photo accompanying this post was taken at a slightly lower elevation at the Austin Pass Picnic Area, looking south into the glacier-carved bowl to Table Mountain. Amazing scenery!
