Oh Thank Goodness!

It was only the power cord that pooped out. and thanks to the beauty of Firefox, my same browser tabs even opened again when I powered up on a borrowed cord. whew!

Drool...

Don't tell my laptop. We just put iLife '08 on it and she thinks everything is cool for a couple more years...



Oh right, I'm unemployed. Good thing I just got iLife '08. And that laptops are only going to get better and cooler by the time I actually NEED to buy a new one.

I Feel Like Such a Hacker...

...working from home in my little freezing corner room full of creative scraps and supplies, wearing an oversized holey old sweater and mismatched little gloves with the fingertips cut off, hair all askew, munching on toast... The only thing is I wouldn't know the first thing about actually hacking anything. Actually, it was MY computer they were trying to hack into this morning, so I can start training my replacement in FL by showing her as I go. It's kind of creepy really... They were able to get into my computer, but then the skype headset didn't really work. So tomorrow I hope it'll be all ready to go.

In other news, I am SO GLAD THE CAUCUS IS TONIGHT so I can do it and get it over with. I really think it's one of the most embarrassing and invasive things you could make a person do. Stand up so everyone can see who you're supporting. ergh. I don't know what my problem is and I hope some day I'll get over it, but at the moment I like to keep my politics private. I guess I'm just so deeply diplomatic that choosing a side is hard for me, and so worried about what others think of me that I don't want to offend or lose any friends or their respect by choosing someone they don't agree with. I guess it wouldn't be so hard if I was really clear on who I did support, but I don't know enough about any of them really, and it's not really what I want to spend my time and energy on. Just when I think I've got one figured out, something comes out that I hadn't heard before and sends me into a spin again.

But I know it's important, so I'm going to go out and do my part. We'll see what happens.

And I Thought The iPhone Was Cool...

Ok, I still think the iPhone is cool, and while it's way out of my price range and we don't really have the service provider out here, at the price of this coffee table computer, I'd be getting the phone a whole lot sooner.

That doesn't mean this video and the whole multi-touch concept isn't awesome. It is. This vid roxors hardcore. Just watch it. omg.
