Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Hands on with the New Macbook
I went to the Apple store and checked out the new MacBooks. The new keyboard has a really nice feel to it. There's little space between the keys and their openings so I suspect it's more difficult for dirt to fall into the machine (I use an iSkin on my PowerBook). The screen is bright and is similar resolution to my PowerBook (just 54 few vertical pixels). I didn't get a sense if the glossy screen produced more glare. The size is also similar to my 15" PowerBook which surprised me. It's only about an inch narrower and about a 1/2" shallower and just about the same height. The black model is definately nicer than the white, but I don't think it's $150 nicer.
