MichaelInstalled the demo of Parallels 5. The only Windows installer I have to use is Win 2000 Pro. Funny to watch that boot on my iMac.

Michael_Throw Momma From the Train_ totally stands up to the test of time. Hilarious movie, even over 20 years after it came out.

MichaelAnybody know if Sunday's MLS final match will be streamed over the 'net live? Looks like it's being broadcast on ESPN, which we don't have.

MichaelMy favorite old-school NIN quote: "My moral standing is lying down." Last NIN album I really enjoyed: The Downward Spiral.

MichaelWhat were you doing 20 years ago today? Trent Reznor was releasing NIN's first album, Pretty Hate Machine. Feel old yet? (Thanks, Delta!)

MichaelI like the new retweet, esp. after reading the reasoning for the design decisions: http://lnk.ms/34bst Needs support from Twitter clients.

MichaelLooks like I'm part of Twitter's new retweet function beta. Went back 7 hours to find an example, and it was a whine about the new retweet.

MichaelA student mentioned psi chi (honors society). I heard "sci-chai," and my brain interpreted that as an indian tea sold at SciFi conventions.

MichaelGood: management getting the carport that our neighbor backed into fixed. Bad: listening to jackhammers as they remove the damaged post.

MichaelFunny/sad: dreamt about being able to upgrade my camera to a D700 by next Norwescon. Segued to photographing six-foot meerkats in the wild.

MichaelBack from the Norwescon meeting. Funny, the Doubletree hotel just looks _wrong_ when it's not con time. Not enough weirdness and oddity.

MichaelOh, that's obnoxious. Replacing a car battery should not disable the stereo. Thanks for your overzealous antitheft crap, Honda.

MichaelMy Intro to Criminal Law course (LAJ313) just got to the chapter on sexual assault. The history of rape statutes is really disturbing.

MichaelHave been failing at social lately. Next Saturday has plans: Norwescon meeting in afternoon, Vogue/Merc(?) that night. That's social, right?

MichaelOh, cute. So when you install a (legally) downloaded Windows 7 upgrade, where's the product key? Win 7 installed, but the 'puter is bricked.

MichaelThis is a test. The Ping.fm - Twitter - Facebook path was wonky, my last four updates went up as private. Now just going Ping.fm - Facebook.

MichaelHm. @netflix 'Watch Instantly' isn't loading either. Maybe I need to poke @talktoqwest to see if the network is being screwy?

MichaelI think I'm actually a little intimidated by the size (of the screen). (27" is) bigger in person than I realized. No, no innuendo here, why?

MichaelHoly wow, but this box is huge. Oh, and one other thing: SQUEEEEEEEE! *ahem* I'd say I'm done now, but...probably not.

MichaelHoly crap. So, do I get a 3Ghz dual-core in a few days, or a 2.66Ghz quad-core that ships in November? Both are 27", 4Gb RAM, 1 TB HDD. Wow.
