I swear to God, every one of these fucking things is located in Longmont, Colorado. Either that or the bastards that drew the map I was using were high on crack. The map said that 3rd Street becomes Rt 119, but when you drive down 3rd street at 4:45 in the morning you discover that it pretty much dead ends at Rt 119, and then you have to guess, left or right to get to the airport? Bastards.
I haven’t thrown out the map yet — I’m planning to burn it.
Here’s an interesting article comparing the delay of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) to stalled code for OS 8 (Copland) which never appeared, and to the delays of Microsoft Vista. It’s fairly well-blanaced and makes some interesting points, though it’s got a visible Mac bias. (You can’t bash Microsoft’s hardware record based on the Zune without mentioning their insane success with the XBox line, for example).
I’d totally back Microsoft doing a full rewrite of Windows from a stable base up. It really did wonders for the stability of the Mac and it would certainly plug a significant number of the security holes in Windows. The risks are so great, though, that I have trouble believing Microsoft would actually do it. Maybe as a side-project with clear acknowledgement that it’s not going to be compatible with Win 98-level legacy code…
Anyway, a good read, worth checking out.
I was looking for a picture of a woman on the phone to use as a guide for tomorrow’s comic and I found this in the process. The world is an unusual place.
So I found this website called My Confined space and it’s got all kinds of cool goodies. Since my sister loves the Peanuts, I thought I’d link to Charlie Brown Gone Anime for her sake. :)
Stare at mutant food for a while.
Dress up your next dinner party… or keep busy at the nice restaurants that don’t give you the crayons with the menu. That is, if you don’t take your Game Boys along like we do.
