Salt Peanuts

Oh, yes, it does.

How do you get cold toes in Florida?

A car wash. Now my car is only mildly dirty.

^ Which is what I said - the original foundation was started before Bob. The foundation in current form was started in 1999.

The original foundation was started before Microsoft Bob came out, but they didn't rename it Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation until 1999, at least according to ever-so-reliable Wiipedia.

I think that was done so people will forget Melinda Gates was partly responsible for Microsoft Bob.

I agree about iTunes being a pile of poo. I do avoid using it unless I need to transfer something onto my iPod.

Two words why it's more difficult than it appears - Internet Explorer. As for the "closedness" of Apple products, I much prefer the polished, stable, and less frustrating user experience that it offers than other "open" products that tend to offer more tweakability & user control in exchange for instability and more frustrating user experience. In regards to the whole invention issues, inventing is important, but application of said inventions and putting it out in market in usable form is more important, IMO.

Took down the ornaments and lights from the Christmas tree. Then I cut off a bit of the tree to make an ornament for Libby from her first tree. Now I'm covered in sap and the house is full of pine needles.

^ That reminds me, I should re-read the Sandman series.

I think it's just a bad picture of a wood-trim option, or at least I hope so. It would really be unfortunate if it's really that red in real life.

Happy Birthday, Jacob! I hope you get your new knife today!

Happy Birthday!

I wonder how long before they start suing other headphone companies? This did remind me of BJC's pure win of a response to Monster couple of years back - Monster Cable Correspondence.

Tyll, you got extra "http://" on the link posted.

Finally got through some of the photos I've been meaning to process since Thanksgiving. Tomorrow, I'll get to go through the (digital) pile form the past month.

Double post. Is it me or has there been an increase in double posting of late?

My aunt (in-law) had one connected to her MBP. I stared at it and drooled on her keyboard a bit.

^ Which is why they have folks checking on route carriers on intermittent basis. It probably doesn't help that it's appearently really, really hard to fire them.

Muppets with People Eyes

I hope you had a great one!

Happy Birthday!

According to their website, it needed to be in their lab by noon today, so assuming you sent it out before the final pickup for express mail (usually around 5-6pm) on the 28th, you should be okay.

"I have an amp from Bottlehead" sounds a lot better than "I have an amp from Schitt," IMO. Then again, "I got an Extended Foreplay from Bottlehead" isn't that great, either. This reminds me of Wisconsin Tourism Federation - yes, they recently changed their name, iirc.
