Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Yay for backing up! That's an awesome use of blunt force trauma.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It also meas it might be reasonably fixable.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you Tep.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Percussive maintenance win!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I really have been wanting a new Macbook, because (1) new! shiny!; (b) more hard drive space; (iii) faster; (D) can burn DVDs; (5) the new Macbook Pros have a slot for an SD card, which is AWESOME.

But I'm also on the frugality train, so if it's fixable for not too much $, I'll get it fixed.

Please, you'll save that much in reduced spending on sugary stuff, easy.

Ha! True dat. Someone posted in Natter yesterday that sugar prices have gone up, but I think the impending glut to the market of all the sugar I don't eat is going to make prices take a nosedive.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So Time Warner is raising their rates about 20% this month, and I'm thinking about dropping cable TV altogether, and relying on the Internets for my video entertainment.

I also want to avoid aheming where possible, and rely on Hulu and iTunes where possible. I'm working through the economics and see if it's worth the hassle.

Does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv? The site is not very up front about how much it costs. Are you happy with the price and the picture quality?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You might check with DX. I'm fairly sure he subscribes to something baseball-related, though it might be radio.

Tom, if you get a Roku box, MLB is one channel you can subscribe to.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What's a good program for running multiple IM accounts on a PC? I'm trying to set up my new netbook to be travel-ready.
