No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

He got me the 60GB photo iPod and made a file of pictures of my nephlings spelling out my name with their hands, over and over. He took the pictures last weekend in Detroit when I wasn't looking, just for this purpose.

this is so adorable.

RIO!!!

Just got your email. You ask many excellent questions whose answers will have to wait as I am heading out for a few hours.

60GB Photo iPod? Bastard -- always trying to show me up!

made a file of pictures of my nephlings spelling out my name with their hands, over and over.

Can you cycle through them like a movie? Is that the idea? Or is it one big photo made up of a bunch of little photos, like a collage?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel like such a loser now.

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

Wow. It's a WBB arms race, with iPods instead of nuclear weapons.

This one. Yes. I can watch my name be spelled out over and over by wee little cuteheads.

Which is better for me on many levels. Pray continue.

I want to take my "new" (since August, but it's still shiny to me) iBook down to my Mom's but I don't have a dialup account. I seem to remember we had some info here about temporary dialup accounts that I could try out, or purchase for a month or two on a pay-as-you-go basis. Did anyone try one of those, and would you recommend it?

I believe MSN still does the first month diap-up free. Remember to call to cancel, tho.
