I really am a crappy blogger. Anyhow, this prompted me to post. Nearly 2.5 years after I first read about my dream mouse, I finally have it. Based on my feeling like Wayne from Waynes world looking at the electric guitar, I shall call it “Excallibur”.
Hand candy at it’s finest.
Someone IM’d this to me. I think it’s f’ing hilarious.
“We’re talking about an operating system update that is now six years late. Six years! If I had a girlfriend who was that late, I’d be playing video games with my kid right now. (But not, you know, under Vista.)”
* If you’re not nerdy, Windows “Vista” is Microsoft’s most recent vaporware operating system. Used to be named “Longhorn” and was supposed to be released in 2003. In actuallity, it’s been in development for over 6 years, but is, ahem, only 3 years late. And none of the breakthrough features are included anymore.

MacBook mission a success
Today I upgraded to a MacBook (2.0 GHz Core Duo with SuperDrive)…..
For some unknown reason, I’ve wanted a MacBook for the last few weeks. *REALLY* wanted. The probelm is I don’t really need it, and can’t exactly afford it. They’re sweet laptops, perfect ratio of size to power (13″ wide screen, 2GHz Core Duo, Superdrive), and not overly priced. Well, a friend of mine picked one, er two of them up yesterday (the first one kernel paniced out of the box, returned it for another, which didn’t). Spent a good chunk of the afternoon watching him set it them up. The thing plays 1080p HD videos beautifully, something my iMac cannot do (though 720p are more than adequate for me). I figured for some reason that if I watch him set his up, it would settle my urge to buy. Mission failed, I want one even more now.
Jealousy ensues…
