I Don’t Feel Any Older

by

Well today is my birthday, and I don’t feel any older. I was a bit depressed going into today since this is my 30th, but now I don’t feel that bad. I am going to fill myself up with sugar at starbucks in a little while and let the day go by. Hopefully nothing major breaks and today is not too stressful. What are the odds on that actually happening?

No snow yet. I am told it really will snow at some time today. I await the white stuff. I like snow as long as it does not disrupt my commute to or from work.

Powerbook Update

by

I have to say my original assessment is correct. it does run cooler than the older models. It is not uncomfortable to use after a while like the old one was. I only have 256megs of ram and so far it has been fine. I haven’t needed to bump it up to 512 or a Gig of memory. It could use a bigger hard drive, but that would have been a special order and I didn’t want to buy the laptop direct from apple or wait 3 weeks for it. Battery life is ok, but I am comparing it with my Thinkpad with a Pentium M that sips the power and lasts hours.

I am on the hunt for a bluetooth mouse for the powerbook. I cannot find a good one. I don’t like the apple 1 button mouse so that is out. the only other one that works for the mac, a belkin one I believe had a bad review. I would really like one that I can use between a PC and a Mac. Oh to dream

If I haven’t mentioned it before (I have) my Powerbook using Kung-Log is my Blogging system of choice. I do allot on the train (doing that right now). The keyboard is just great on this thing.

Why I Don’t Like Politics Most Of The Time

by

I am never one to be very political. It is a very polarizing topic. But I had to say something about the latest headlines between Kerry & Bush. Kerry claims that foreign leaders told him privately that they hope he wins over bush in November. Bush says if Kerry doesn’t say who, he made the whole thing up. OK, come on people. The odds that one or more leader of the many governments that disagree with Bush probably did say something to Kerry, but if it was in confidence do you really think Kerry will say anything? Of course not. Story over. Kerry probably should have kept his mouth shut. Can both sides get back to the issues?

A White Birthday???

by

Tomorrow is my birthday. It is supposed to snow 5-8 inches in NYC tomorrow. It was 50 something today. Is the big guy sending me a sign? I don’t know, but it sure is weird that it was hot today and will probably snow tomorrow.

I am so tired from today. I am going home and lying down. Maybe if I am awake I will do my laundry. That remains to be seen. Of course if I need closes to last the week I will do it. I am away Thursday through Saturday so I wont have time later in the week to do it. I am out tomorrow night at Rich’s so I can’t do it then. That leaves tonight and Wednesday.

Migraine Alert

by

My migraine from yesterday did not fully go away. I had to take a furiset today. it made me feel better but taking the medication is never good. I am getting renewed pressure from my family to see the head ache specialist again. I need to make an appointment.
