You know you want one of these.

I see there are some new options for JASJAR cases now: Piel Frama has some classy leather cases, while PDAir has a number of different cases including a rugged looking Aluminum case. I’ve added these to the ReviewWiki review page for the JASJAR. I find that the JASJAR’s convertible clamshell design means you don’t necessarily […]

The Macromedia MAX 2005 General Session Videos are available online as well. The player is slicker, but I actually prefer to download and watch the videos offline, so Microsoft got this bit right anyway. The Ze Frank bit during the day one keynote is pretty funny.
