We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, smart people, I have a problem. I'm going through my CDs and putting them in iTunes. Three CDs in a row have loaded several songs, and then I get an "unknown error." What are the odds that it's just the CDs?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was getting the same thing last week, Jesse. I'm not sure what the problem was -- I eventually just gave up and figured I'd figure it out later.

Hmph. Stupid iTunes. Life was so easy when I just played tapes.

FYI, I installed the new version of iTunes, and all seems to be well now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Recomendations for a "HiDef-ready" LCD TV around 28"-31"? Need DVI input, so I can copy ND and connect my Mac Mini to it.
There seems to be a huge variance of price for TVs like this.

I'll keep you posted. I'm starting to do a little research on the LCD TV's as I kinda think I might put a 27" or 30" one in my bedroom.
What?
Don't look at me like that.

I ended up buying this: [link] 30" LCD TV, as it got a good review... somewhere, and was only $1099. It works great, except for an annoying buzzing sound. It's there when I run the signal from my TiVo via coax, but it's much worse when I use the composit cable from the TiVo. Maybe I'll try component cables. Or perhaps better shielded cables, as maybe there's something else I have that's causing interference. But I never had this problem when I hooked my TiVo to a VCR and then to my ancient TV (using composit cables to the VCR and coax to the TV).
The Mac Mini works great hooked up via DVI, except that for a PC input it only has a mono input, which means I gotta wire the stereo output from the Mini directly to my stereo. Now to get WiFi and Bluetooth installed in the Mini.
