Waterchalking? Ferries will offer Wi-Fi
80211b News reports: Washington State ferry system to get continuous Wi-Fi: Don't ask me why the local papers (I'm based in Seattle) don't have this story, and Alan Reiter found it in Computerworld, but it's an interesting one to say the least.

So that is why I have so much more free disk space
On Wednesday evening after I resinstalled OS X and my User folder on my reformated 20GB hard drive, somehow I went from having 1GB of free space to having 2.7GB free on the clean drive. It has taken until this morning to realize why. I forgot to reinstall the Developer Tools... Goodbye disk space...
