The wait to Leopard….

Aka “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Finally was able to login to the Up-To-Date order tracking system tonight. And to my horror, this is what I saw:
Leopard

Anyways, I won’t hold my breath. I know I have a license for the software, so I should be able to acquire a copy from work by the weekend. Thanks Apple for not using product activation.

A bit of backstory: I’m part of the Up-to-date program because I picked up a “new” previous generation 24″ iMac at the beginning of the month. The thing is freaking huge, biggest screen in our apartment.

Cleaning out my bookmarks, with a magic bullet!

I’m on the search for an online bookmark service that will fit my needs. Del.icio.us seems too clunky and hard to use on a daily basis. Ma.gnolia looks nice, so I’m cleaning up my bookmarks in Firefox so I can import them.

If you use an online bookmark service or social bookmarking site, tell me what you think.

Magic Bullet
Also, I picked up a Magic Bullet blender yesterday. So far we’ve made fresh homemade guacamole, arctic chocolate milk shakes, omelettes, and chicken quesadillas. In addition to the recipe book that came with it, I downloaded about a dozen other recipes online last night. It doesn’t live up to the infomercial, but it is a cool gadget!

edit: Add hummos and mac & cheese to the list today.

Quick Rave and Rant

Rave: I got the job! I’m in a transition period between the 2 jobs right now, as my old boss asked for 2 weeks notice, and my new boss wants me to get ramped up-to speed before the current webmaster leaves.

I’m the new webmaster for the UO School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC).
w00tage!

Rant: So the Sony PSP plays little discs called Universal Media Discs. What the hell is universal about it? SRSLY. Hey Sony, universal means it should work across a multitude of platforms across brands and such.
