Hawaii doesn’t have “Daylight Savings Time.” In the winter, we’re 2 hours behind the West Coast and I work from 7 AM to 3 PM in an attempt to make my location as little of an issue as possible. In the summer, we’re 3 hours behind. So I have to get up an hour earlier and start the email processing at 6 AM. The good news is that by now the sky is lightening by 5:30.
Just got the April 25th edition of PC Mag via Zinio. They’ve done a redesign and boy, do I not like it. Much more consumerist, big photos, second-class text. Automotive coverage is now a big thing with them: not only do they have a column, but this issue is some “drive tech” awards bullcrap.
I still think PC Mag is the best general-audience computer magazine, but this is step away from what I look to them for.
Oh, and they put Dvorak on the backpage.
Some friends took us fishing yesterday and we hooked up 32 pounds of Acanthocybium solandri aka wahoo aka ono. “Ono” is the Hawaiian word for “delicious.” It’s one of my favorite fishes, but I think I’m going to get tired of it in the coming weeks!
