Not Disillusioned but Different

Lots of things happened last week. It culminated in the graduation celebration of a longtime friend, and congratulations to her. There will be many lasting memories. One of them being the purchase of my new laptop, a 12" Powerbook. And I will now try to narrate my own "Switch Ad."

I needed a laptop, and when I looked around. The Apple is just so much prettier and it has Tiger, which is such a better operating system. Still it could do everything I want: program, give presentations, etc.

Okay, that was a pretty week ad. I don't have any good stories, so I'll have to wait until I get some Windows computer burning up while my Mac computer does not (cause fire is good... my pyro side likes it).

The laptop has been named "yukidama," which if I read everything correctly is "snowball" in Japanese, which fits very elegantly into my computer naming theme, that I mentioned when I got my PDA. But to review. My desktop is dasGehirn, or "the Brain" in German. My PDA is named Bluey, as a reference to Pinky and its blue (not pink) color. The theme is Pinky and the Brain. The Brain's archnemesis is Snowball the hamster. This scheme, of course, makes sense. My desktop is a large computing power and my laptop is a large computing power. They will now vie for the ability to conquer the world as defined to them. Bluey, not being a full computer, is kinda the retard cousin, so to speak.

Colors of the Wind

Just after Microsoft releases a new Xbox based on IBM's PowerPC, that has powered Apple for a decade, Apple is reported to going to transition to Intel, that has been half of Wintel for the past 2 decades. Color me amused.

I swear it's yesterday

So I had my first all-nighter in a long, long time. Not even a nap, all thanks to the power of caffine. Procrastination is not laziness. You lazy if you don't want to do it, procrastinate stuff you don't want to do now.

It's been noted that I IM people just as they're about to leave. What if they're about to leave cause I IMed them. hmmm... More likely, I have a sixth sense about when they're going to leave, and try to time it to delay them as much as possible. Mwuhahahaha! I feel evil, or under-slept. Decisions, decisions... Well, one lecture to give, one presentation to create.
