A netbook would probably be perfect for me.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ubuntu server, Powerbook, Vista box, a dissassembled something, most hard drives I've ever owned in anti-static bags whether they're broken or not, a network printer/scanner, a USB scanner, a large pen tablet, uncounted flash drives, three iPods and two smartphones but I can't find one of them, annoyingly. And a work laptop. In other junkie unnecessary acquisition I also have an Apple TV--peril of a friend at Apple, really. I didn't mean to get it.

I just have my macbook pro. Once I get off my ass and put in the reqs for my work laptop, I'll have TWO macbook pros. And I'll probably keep my solaris box for a bit until I can completely migrate off it.

In other news, I've decided my trashmen are complete morons. They didn't pick up my recycling AGAIN. This happens about once a month. I'm not gonna even bother calling since there's plenty of room in there for next week. But good god, I think they can't read. It's spray painted RECYCLING all over it. It was out at the curb.
Either that, or they are just assholes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If a job application is going to an HR department, how bad is it to address the cover letter to "sir or madam"? Do I have an alternative? I think it's weird to call them up just to ask who to address it to, when they don't put the name in the job announcement.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been thinking about getting a netbook. For conferences and job interviews and stuff, there are going to be a bunch of times that I'll need to carry a computer around all day, and I figure it would be easier with a lighter laptop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it's terrible. I'm generally applying for jobs at small places, so will just address it to the CEO, but that could be weird at a big place.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That would be okay, or "To Whom It May Concern."

Trust my rage
Hivemind question: Joe is convinced that tonight's dinner (really yummy chicken posole) must cool before it goes in the fridge. I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?
(look, I'm using a semi-colon while talking about practical applications of mathy stuff. I feel like such a buffista.)
