Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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

What kind of TV?

Our wings are not tired.

Oh yeah I guess that's more the point? I misunderstood.

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

Samsung LN46C630. It's last year's 46" 1080 model.

I can't rewind or fast forward or pause or anything, but for watching 22 minutes of acquired TV at once, it's pretty damned nifty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay!

ION, a friend just bought a MacBook Air and she didn't know it doesn't have an Ethernet connection. She does all her online banking using her laptop's Ethernet connection rather than WiFi. So I found some USB-to-Ethernet thingies online for between $16 and $30 or so. But a guy at the Apple department of Circuit City told her she has to use an Apple USB-to-Ethernet connector ($29) rather than a non-Apple one. But I've seen non-Apple USB-to-Ethernet connectors that say they work with Macs.

Any idea who's right?

Pretty much any USB to Ethernet adapter ought to work.

And damnit. The Fedex guy showed up when the doorman was OTL.

Boo!

In other news, Firefox 4 really does seem to be a lot faster than 3.x

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I CAN HAS MAC MINI!!

Her name is Branka.

It's okay, netbook, I still love you too.

I finally got my iPad last night! It's pretty sweet. The Time Warner app is pretty cool—I can watch live TV on my iPad. Except that there's nothing good on TV.
