Even better than Macintel, I am enjoying the new acronym ICBM— in this case meaning Intel Chip Based Mac.
Which begs the question: Is it really an acronym if you can’t actually pronounce it, or is it then just an abbreviation? If so, is there another special term for those? (rummage). Well, looks like Merriam and Webster will allow it. Acronym it is.
So, yay! —upgraded to WordPress 2.0. Expecting the minions of hell to overrun my system any time now, but for the moment, it feels good, it feels clean. I hope the spammers aren’t drawn to its scent. Colophon’s screwed up, but… Meh. I’ll fix it at some point. It’s probably not even accurate anymore.
I’ve been working on implementing GTD, and part of that is working through all the random piles of crap I have spread about the house. So, now I have a shiny new 4-drawer filing cabinet (reminds me a lot of my Grandpa’s) and I’ve been furiously creating folder labels and filing things for a week and a half now.
Of course, one of the joys of doing this is coming across cool random old things like this X.com debit card— an online banking service that was bought by Paypal shortly after I signed up. Ah, the heady days of the internet…

The first time I went to Vegas, it was sensory overload. Everything was amazing. The second time, my reaction was more, “Is this all there is?” Since then I’ve been there a couple times on business trips, and comes to terms with its superficiality.

My only recommendation — time your first flight in so you get there after sunset, and have a limo booked from the airport to your hotel, and make them take you for a drive down the Strip. You really want that neon and glitter to be your first impression of the city, because Vegas is supremely ugly during the day.

So, I got the Sirius for the car. Yay! It very nearly totally rocks, in a very literal way.
Thing is, I noticed while scanning the comedy stations tonight that there were commercials, and I was royally pissed. I mean, isn’t this why I’m PAYING for it? …so I won’t have to listen to that […]
Ah, yes— Chicago. I went last weekend, and I have pictures and I have notes, but the story is not yet forthcoming because 1.) I’ve been wicked busy, and 2.) I still am. Sometime before the end of the weekend, I will make a valiant attempt at codifying my story and updating this post. Until then, you have this flickr tag to keep you company.
Well, looks like my idea for a Delicious Library-style comic book database app is all for naught. From the DrunkenBlog interview with Delicious Monster co-founder Wil Shipley:
Emphasis mine. Shipley, you magnificent bastard!
