iTMS Follies
MoreSo, my friend AAl gave me an iTunes Music Store (iTMS) gift certificate for [insert winter holiday here]. Only, I got it the week before Thanksgiving, because apparently there was no mechanism for him to delay the sending of my gift certificate email. Strike one for Apple.
About a week ago, I decided to go […] -
I Should Have Hit the Deer
MoreHad an accident, driving home last night northbound on I-270. I was driving in the left lane, and had the cruise control on, going just a couple of miles above the speed limit (that being about 60 in a 55). The road surface had been rained on all evening, so was a little slick.
