Mac Book Pro Day 3

I finally have 1.5Gb of RAM on the machine, up from the standard 512Mb, which just wasn't enough.

The stripped screw over the ram compartment that was keeping me from adding ram (due to a right shitful screwdriver from Radio Shack) has been fixed by the quite resourceful people at Digital Society this afternoon.

I'm now sitting at Starbucks on 8th St just west of University Pl, with Belle & Sebastian on the store speakers, and internet through T-Mobile's free weekend hotspot service for T-Mobile customers, and a large cup of Hot Chocolate at my side.

The machine flies.

Full Speed i386 virtualized performance is only days away, and I do look forward to running windows side by side with OS X.

The machine flies.

Also, I just saw a man walking down Broadway with a cat on his hat, speaking loudly (I assume) to his cat, which was sitting quite serenely and taking in the sights.

The season finale of Battlestar Galactica is next Friday, and Jon Stewart takes the stage tomorrow night.

This is a bad time to be a television hater.

On Apple's New Products today

As seen commented elsewhere:

"$350 for a speaker? Who the hell spends $350 on a speaker? Now if they threw in an iPod..."

The Hobart industrial dishwasher to Molly's left.

Sigh.

I miss that dishwasher (as I look at my sink...)
