I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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

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.

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

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.

Okay. Who can tell my why the PDF passport application I'm trying to print is getting shrunk down to 1/4 size??? In the preview window it looks fine, but no matter what scaling option I choose it's printing out at 25% the size it should be, centered on the page.

As far as I know our printer drivers are up to date. I'm printing to a networked Epson (plugged directly into DH's laptop) from a Macbook Pro.
