iLamp

I like this new blob. But I predict it won't be as popular as the original. I think it is too stylish for its own good, and will turn quite a few people off. Not to mention, overpriced compared to the competition. The times where Apple could charge a premium are all but over. Apparently, Steve didn't get the memo.

14.1-inch iBook

Blah.

iPhoto

It's cool… It's free. I might even use it. I just don't see it as a strong selling point, unless Apple starts pushing bundles with Digital Cameras vendors.

OS X on Every New Mac

God have mercy.

XP TV

Leave it to Billy to steal some of the limelight. After all, he could easily "bring down Canada," if he really wanted to. Although Steve might be able to take down Vatican City, or not.

Sick

It's official, I know have the flu. Thanks to my wife for kindly handing it down. Really, Honey… You shouldn't have.

On January 8, 1992 U.S. President George Bush collapsed during a state dinner in Tokyo. White House officials said Bush was suffering from stomach flu.

FlatMac

When I first saw it, I thought to myself "Damn, it looks just like an egg!" and then I looked closer… and it still looked like one big oversized egg. If it was an egg, I'd throw it away because of that big blemish on the front. Oh… wait… that's the Apple logo!

Brainfart

You're think they'd have come up with a better name for a product that "Helps stop gas before it starts."

On January 7, 1904 The distress signal "CQD" was established. Two years later "SOS" became the radio distress signal because it was quicker to send by wireless radio.

Horoscope

You are only limited by your own imagination.

Boy, are you fucked.

Humor

"Would you go to bed with someone for a million dollars?"
"Well, I guess so"

"Would you go to bed with someone for two dollars?"
"What kind of a girl do you think I am?"

"We've already established that, now we're setting price."

iWalk, iPad…

Or maybe it is just another iFake. I'm having very bad Newton memories.

On January 4, 1896 Utah became the 45th U.S. state.

XP Blogging

This is my first blog entry posted from my new machine. Sweeeeeet!

I think I finally figured out one of the reasons why XP looks so clean. Makes me wonder if they were made on a Mac.

The Testosterone Plan

I'm going to give it a try. I read an article about it in Men's Health magazine. I really like the weight training routines they showed. The diet is a variation of 40-30-30 plan which has worked very well for me in the past.

AOL's Instant Remote Hole

So easy to hack, no wonder it's number 1.

Car Trouble

We're down to one vehicle. My van broke down on Christmas Day while driving back from Vicki' sister.

There's really nothing like being stranded on the side of the road at 1am. The car had to be towed to Autoworks of North Bend, which was recommended by my wife' sister.

The engine died. The "oil was pretty much cooked", or so I was told. At least they've been able to find a newer rebuilt engine. It will cost quite a bit more than I was originally ready to spend, but does come with a lifetime warranty.

The new engine should arrive today, so I'm no entirely sure as to when I'll actually get the van back. Hopefully soon.

On January, 3 1888 The drinking straw was patented by Marvin C. Stone.
