Saturn in Alignment with Paul Hogan
Well, looks like I’ve got a buyer for the Saturn (our friendly neighborhood Airborne Express-Man). He and his brother (who is, apparently, a Honda mechanic) hame by this afternoon, looked it over, took it for a spin around the parking lot, and said they’d be back for it tomorrow afternoon. And, now that I’ve spent the remainder of the day searching for (and finding!) the title for the little beast, looks like everything’s a go.
What will I be driving now, you ask? Well, I’m finally taking over the car I “inherited” from my great uncle late last year: a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback. This one’s an automatic (the Saturn was a 5-speed manual), so even my wife can drive it! Huzzah!

bobcam returns!
I just found iChatUSBCam on VersionTracker, and downloaded it. In combination with my ol’ Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 and drivers from IOXperts, it works like a charm. Woot!If you’re looking for drivers for your USB webcam to use on Mac OS X, try the aforementioned IOXperts or MaCam drivers. Cheers!

Steal these buttons!
Posted a bunch of new mini-buttons (the increasingly popular 80×15 format) to Steal These Buttons, most of which you’ll see in my new button bar on the left. (Most of them are probably still pending, though, and not on the main page yet.)
Want to make your own buttons like these? Well, the Make page on Steal These Buttons has parts that you can put together yourself, or for the lazy, there’s a motorized verision here.

Just another day of cleaning and watching my eBay auctions go down in value because some asshat retracted his bid… Yep.
