I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Our wings are not tired

Must have been programmed by a DP.

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

A decent introduction to all the different video and audio formats can be found here: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am charging my brand new MacbookPro! Squee!

What are you calling it?

Haven't decided yet. All my other computers are BtVS vampires, but I've pretty much run out of cool ones.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Have you used Holden, the one Jonathan Woodward played? I always liked him.

Coding and Sleeping

My computers are named after Get Fuzzy characters. Except the MythTV ones, which are Myth and Legend.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My computers were named after then-current astronomical phenomena: Hale-Bopp and Leonid. I'm holding off on renaming my new-to-me laptop, because I'll probably reformat it with Ubuntu, as soon as I find the MS Office software serial number (so I can reinstall it). I suspect that those discs are in boxes my sister took home to MI with her, so that won't happen until June. Hmmm. I wonder what comets or whatnot will be swinging by this June?

My computers and hard drives are all named after physicists. By first name.

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

Oooh! Look at the pretty!

Lenovo Pocket Yoga netbook is slick and small

As smartphones are getting more and more like laptops, laptops are getting smaller and smaller, like phones. Where will they meet? Maybe somewhere near the new Lenovo Pocket Yoga netbook, one of the tiniest little laptops I've ever seen.

There's not much info on this sexy little devil yet, but it looks to have a nice wide screen that can be flipped around and act as a touchscreen tablet, and it's very close to being small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably, but not quite. It looks slick and is sure to be expensive, as is the way with things moving towards the space between two types of device.
