I was thinking I'd just ask for my old keyboard back. And my old mouse, which was also better.
I think that when someone reaches adulthood, there should be this ritual where the person is lead into a giant warehouse filled with various mice and keyboards. After what can be many hours, the person picks out a keyboard and mouse, which will be this person's personal keyboard and mouse for the rest of their life.
Followed by a party, with cake and relatives crying, "He/She's all grown up now..."
But first they should spend an all-nighter in a chapel, praying and perfecting their geekhood.

And by "chapel," I assume you mean "Apple Store"?
goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get iPo-o-o-ds....

A Young Bush Appointee Resigns His Post at NASA
By ANDREW C. REVKIN
THE NEW YORK TIMES
George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.
Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.
The resignation came as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was preparing to review its policies for communicating science to the public. The review was ordered Friday by Michael D. Griffin, the NASA administrator, after a week in which many agency scientists and midlevel public affairs officials described to The New York Times instances in which they said political pressure was applied to limit or flavor discussions of topics uncomfortable to the Bush administration, particularly global warming.
I bet it was the fact that he never graduated (and lied about it) that got him fired, and not the stupid religious-right-appeasing anti-science crap.
You know NASA's IG is under investigation, from the FBI, no less, right?
I wonder if Griffin is cleaning house. It's sort of amazing, actually.
I didn't think the religious right had much of a problem with the big bang. Or maybe that's just the Catholic church that's kosher with the big bang.
