I bid a fond fairwell today to my faithful Apple Powerbook. After 2.5 years together, we decided to part ways. Okay, that sounds enough like a break up for me. Yes, I sold my trusty Powerbook, and today I shipped it to the great white north to it’s excited new owner. I’m sad to see…

Art Fiend
I spent today being an art geek with my mother. We’re cut from the same cloth, and all it takes is a good art store to really bring it out in us. Apparently, the whole art thing… well, it has to be genetic. We went to Relics, an art/design oriented store in the Holladay area…
Happy Hallowhat?
Halloween has never been a favourite of mine. I guess it comes from the fact that I stopped trick-or-treating at a fairly young age (about 10 or 11). I was a rather sullen, “grown up” child (aside from the obvious insanity)… I hung out with older kids, I always felt like a moron doing the…
Damn it all
Why, Apple, must you tempt me with cool new things that I cannot afford? In a time when I’m trying to save all my pennies for a replacement monitor (oh, and to pay off my credit card bill, which is more than the monitor currently… and, yeah… tuition will be coming up again soon), you…
My LCD is dying
My monitor, the lil’ 17 incher that could, seems to be on its last legs. I’ve had it for about two and a half years, and for the past year or so it has had the occasional flicker (like, maybe, once every week or two). However, in the last few days, the flickers have grown…
Relative File Sizes and Dijon Mustard
Some odd thoughts from today (or yesterday, since it is past midnight): How can have I managed to make a PDF that was originally 28MB in size, and using only the “Save as PDF…” function in the Mac OS X print dialogue, make it 730KB, and yet I’ll tweak and crop a JPG to death,…
Siska
Ladies and gents, I present Siska the cat. I spent an hour or so taking photos of our cat. Why? Because I’m a giant wuss and I like the cat. So deal with it, Paco. In regard to young Siska, I have an interesting story to share with you fine folks. Siska is a Russian…
Cleaning the carpets and wireless networking
I’m posting this from my laptop as I sit in my lounge watching VH1 (yeah, I know… but daytime TV is, as I am discovering, awful and at least they are playing some music). I’m kind of “locked out” of my office (and away from my wonderful PowerMac G5) for the next day or two,…
Garden State and 1200 comments
So last Friday I finally jumped on the bandwagon and saw Garden State with Ashley (it was her third time seeing it). I must say, it lived up to the hype for me. Except for the whole “they get together” part… because we all know that never happens, right? Yes, I am a bit of…
If you really like me..
You can get me one of these BOSS Whiskey Chimp T-Shirts. I’ll take a large, thank you. I’ve also decided to start using the word BOSS more. Wow. I need to sleep…
