I’ve had my powerbook since last july, and it’s getting well worn. I love it, and I’m surprised I hadn’t already capitulated and really done a good job of cleaning it. I’m usually pretty anal about stuff like that.
But tonight I got a nice rag (Scotch Brite, High Performance Cloth) wet it, and wiped ambrose down real good. Feels great – a whole layer of dinge is gone, the whole thing has a real slick clean feeling.
The powerbook is holding up well, save to the right of the mouse button and under the arrows. You can tell there’s a bit of peeling going on, but I’m doing better then Jon Hicks.
Now I just need to get some really cool stuff going on the inside of the powerbook – I have a few neat projects, but nothing in a releasable state, and only a few beyond the man it would be cool stage. I’m looking to have a breadwinning project out the door real soon, and open up time for some cool playing and realizing of the ideas swimming around in my head right now.

They know controlling the browser is one of the keys to retaining their monopoly. The problem is the same they face in operating systems: they can’t pay people enough to build something better than a group of inspired hackers will build for free.
That is one of the key tenets of professionalism. Work and life are supposed to be separate. But that part, I’m convinced, is a mistake.
