may i suggest: iphone color org
organize as much as you as you possibly can by color including the ever popular mobile computing device, the iphone. try out other chromatic organization platforms like your macbook dock icons, your bookshelf, or your closet. take pride in yourself when everyone steals your idea, i won't tell anyone where you got it.
may i suggest: a farmhouse inn thanksgiving
san francisco: cross the golden gate bride and head 65 miles north to sonoma for a cozy thanksgiving getaway at the farmhouse inn. enjoy slow breakfasts with local, fresh ingredients, and a memorable thanksgiving meal paired elegantly with wines from the region. if any of your family members are prone to wine overindulgence, unrestrained laughter, and off beat conversation, perhaps another more private option is for you.

Me and My Vaio
I should clarify the rather public issues I had with a new Vaio and Vista the other day. It was reported on Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/5103966/the-unflappable-stephen-fry-becomes-quite-flapped-over-vista) and elsewhere that I had lost my rag trying to connect wirelessly. An inspection of my latest stream of tweets on http://twitter.com/stephenfry will confirm that I was less than temperate.
For those who think I was being unfair on either Vista or Sony, I should explain that I wasn't trying to set up a new network, I wasn't doing anything even vaguely complicated. There was a WEP security-enabled network in the room already to which a G1 phone, 2 Blackberry devices, iPhones, an iPod Touch and two Macs were all happily connected. A hotel room. I introduce a brand new computer, fire it up and try to get it simply to connect to this already existing network. If it was tricky to create a network, to alter a router's parameters, to change SSID's Ð anything like that, I would buckle down and do it, certainly not blaming Vista, for it is always tricky to set up new wireless networks. What was so extraordinary in the year 2008 was that an expensive new piece of kit was unable to join a simple 40 bit WEP secured network. It saw the network, it agreed with me that it existed, I clicked to connect and it failed. Not surprisingly, as at no stage in trying to connect did it ask me for a password or offer a field in which to insert one. It offered to 'diagnose' the problem. Its diagnosis being that I was unable to connect. 'Doctor, I have a headache.' 'Mm. My diagnosis is that you have a headache. Leave your cheque with my secretary.' Bleugh.
