I’ve been really excited by virtualization lately, so of course I’ve been drooling over the potential of the MacBook Pro.

I considered the Macbook, but decided I enjoyed the large screen and fast graphics of the Powerbook too much to give them up.

On Monday I sold my G4 Powerbook to a friend of mine, and ran to the Apple store to buy the MacBook Pro. I spent a full ten minutes explaining how I was buying one “today” to the spiky-haired Mac sales guy, who promptly walked off. I found another salesperson, named Sulgi Kim, who was very nice and gave me a discount on my .Mac subscription along with my new notebook.

Here’s a huge list of 80s videos posted to YouTube.

Special thanks to Dianne, a Mini Advisor at Global Imports, for giving me a new cupholder. I lost count of the number of times I shifted into fifth and banged my hand on the old one.

They are made out of meat is a hilarious video based on the short sci-fi story by Terry Bisson.

I remember reading this story to my 8th grade English class.

They didn’t get it.

I lust for this shirt.

goal #1 of Thursday’s phone training: get the CTU ringtone loaded into the PBX.

I consider this Jimi??????? wallet. I don’t really like the transparent plastic-ness of it, but I do like the size, and the fact that it forces you to carry less instead of more.

My wonderful Fossil front-pocket wallet, purchased in 1998, finally bit the dust several months ago. I searched several places for a replacement, only to find that Fossil stopped making that particular type. The only type they had left was actually too small, with barely any room at all.

I want a house gecko.

Ever tried to send a file attachment via Gmail using FireFox, and gotten the really annoying “unresponsive script” popup every five seconds?

You can fix that by going to ‘about:config’ and modifying dom.max_script_run_time to something reasonable, like 60000 seconds.

Wow. Someone just released a homebrew tracker for the Nintendo DS.

Tracker interfaces, normally a pain to use, become a joy with a stylus inferface, dual screens make editing easier (you can even rotate views between them), and you can even sample with the mic.”
