Macintosh gets down

I just saw the new Macintosh. Holy smokes! I thought it was a hard drive at first. It's only 2" tall and 6.5"square and the damn thing is more powerfull than my G4! I think I've got it beat on expandibility though. But for $500 you can't beat it. It's a nice little computer for the average user to surf the net and do your taxes on. I just can't get over how small it is. They made the power supply as an external component and it's almost half the size of the computer. I have to wonder about heat and how much of an issue that's going to be. Plus, I can just imagine someone setting their 20" monitor on top of it and hearing "crack!"

We don' need no steenkin' weather!

Unlike other parts of the country, we in WA have had GREAT weather! Our only problem is that we are in a state of drought. The month of Feb. set an all time record for the lack of rain/snow. Nearly 0. So we are most likely going to have a pretty bad fire season this summer and fall unless something changes.
But if you forget all that, it's great! I've been running around in a t-shirt, washing my car in the yard and driving with the windows down. All the plants have buds on them and now we have to pray that we don't get a harsh freeze that kills everything. I think it's going to be a long and very hot summer this year. Then I'll be complaining because it's too hot! Ever since I lived in Alaska, I can't handle the heat when it gets into the 90's and above. And we generally will get several days/weeks of weather that hot.
Oh well. Ma nature will do as she wills.

Poor pup

It would seem that although I have the best of intentions, I'm not very good at keeping up with this. I guess it takes time.

Reading the paper today about a horrible story involving a puppy licking the top of a paper shredder. He lost his entire tongue down to the root and in the ensuing insanity, managed to bite off part of his owners pinky finger. They had to put the puppy down. There was no way he could survive. I immediately got up and went into the office to make sure my paper shredder was turned off. My heart goes out to the guy. Who could have ever thought of something like that happening? Sad.
