The first think I thought when I saw the new iMacs was, “oh that looks cool.” The second thing I thought was, “that keyboard might take some getting used to.”
Think calculator with large buttons. There’s not a lot of travel to the keys, and they’re pretty sensitive, so your fingers can really glide over the keys with little effort. However, I already miss…
Friends, have I got news for you. A “girl’s shopping day” turned out in my favor, due to the efforts a friend of Cheryl’s. After a fair bit of arm twisting, Cheryl was convinced to surprise me with a new 20 inch iMac and iPod Nano yesterday evening. (My birthday is right around the corner.) It was quite a surprise… when I received the email from the Apple Store…
My wife spends most of her time at work behind a desk. It’s that little bit of time that she doesn’t that gets interesting. It can be hard to reconcile the high school girl I met over a peeled cat in anatomy class, with the person who straps a gun on a few times a year.

If the administration dishonestly linked 9/11 and Iraq to start a war, if they cherry picked or invented evidence to justify the war, if…
It’s more vivid today that it was last year, after five years. Numbers don’t mean much to me, other than a means to count. Five years, six years… what’s the difference besides another year?
Today is Tuesday though, which is different because it isn’t.
Six years ago this day fell on a Tuesday too. Tuesdays have a certain rhythm, their own feel. That today was a Tuesday…
With very little respect, I feel I must say that some of this self-help stuff is a bunch of lunch meat. Maybe I shouldn’t be too harsh. After all, if it helps some people, it must have some value, right?
Nope, I can’t do it.
Caveat: I haven’t read one of those books that says happiness, success, and riches are a choice. I’ve only caught snippets of some folks talking on the…
