Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

There's also one in Massachusetts.

That's the easy answer.

Anyone have any recommendations for/against external hard drives for a mac? I don't need anything huge, but I'm planning to scan a bunch of old pictures, and I'd rather not fill up my entire laptop hard drive.

Our wings are not tired

I've been very very happy with drives from here. I own 3 of them in various sizes at this point and have used at least a dozen of them that colleagues have owned.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This? Is neat.

Hey. New board.

That is pretty neat. Not sure it's quite as neat as a well tricked out Xbox running Xbox Media Center, though. Especially without network access, for streaming from the computer directly, which is my favorite XBMC feature.

How about this?

"Apple lobs grenade into Microsoft media center camp: APC Magazine's Dan Warne reckons Apple is about to deftly round-house kick Microsoft's media center strategy for six. First Apple leaves a mysterious header on the Mac Mini motherboard for a non-existent iPod dock connector. Then it brings out media center software and a video iPod at the same time. Then it recruits the head of TV recording company ElGato. When you put the pieces together, it ain't pretty for Microsoft."

Hey. New board.

If apple releases a $500 -$600 equivalent of a low-end Mac Mini combined with an HDTV EyeTV then, yeah, I'll be excited. As long as it's not painfully DRMed somehow. I'm not sure how likely that is.

The time is rapidly approaching for me to turn in my company phone for my own personal cell phone. I've been on Nextel for 3 years now, with a Motorola i95cl, and have had very few complaints. So I'm debating whether or not I want to stay with Nextel or jump ship to T-Mobile (T-Mobile having the advantage of people NOT being able to radio me when I don't answer the phone). I really wanted a Razr (which would mean T-Mobile) but I've heard bad things about its sound quality.

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions/recommendations?
