Yay! Apple has released their updated Powerbooks.
They've added:
- trackpad scrolling, which has been on many PC laptops for years.
- Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor, which I figure is just IBM's "airbag" technology
- Bluetooth 2.0, which I don't know how long it's been it's around
- an 8x Superdrive, which they seemed to have dropped $100 off the price of
- upped several models to 80GB HDs
- increased the base model to 1.5 GHz
These are all very incremental improvements, available in other laptops months ago, no doubt. But now they're available for the Apple.
Now I'm eyeing the 12" Powerbook with Superdrive and 758 MB of RAM for $1567.

Stones
I seems as if the quantity of posts is decreasing. I estimate that by the end of this year, I'll be down to a post a year.
I'd tell you about what I'm up to an stuff, but who wants to know about stuff you don't already know. Instead I will philosophize, since everyone knows philosophy.
If two people have a disagreement, and one of them comes to you afterwards for support. Who was more right?
As postulated, you don't really know who was right. But they came to you and told you their story. So you feel more inclined to side with them, since you feel closer to them and they've warped the story for their benefit. However, it can't be the objective truth. For example, recently a man placed a full page ad in a newspaper asking for his wife to come back. People responded with well wishes and so on. Problem is, we don't know what he did. He may be repentent, but is that enough. Some people would say not, some would say it is. In this example, it's not hard to criticize the guy. I don't know him. But the closer you are with a person the less you're able to be objective about the situation.
Anyway, there are people I want to talk to. If only they were online. Get online peoples!

Long and Winding Road
Well, the rain finally stopped. And just when I was thinking how nice it would be if it got cold enough to snow... on the coast. Right. It's more likely that the fires of hell are melting the snowballs long before they get even close. Those are the chances of it snowing here. Regardless, the sun is taking the opportunity to warm everything while it can. In particular, wooden railings seem to be smoking as they dry out. Hopefully the wind that is pushing the clouds away will be sufficient to push around a sailboat on the weekend. Otherwise, I don't know what else to do with the extra day off. I suppose I could always drop in on a party. Someone is always throwing a party somewhere around here. It is Santa Barbara, after all. The upstanding school of Nobel-prize-winning professors and similarly bright students - just kidding.
