    By the time I post this entry, it will be Saturday. Why? Because it’s about four ’til midnight right now. What is the significance of all this? Nothing really. Just thought I would get in a few more minutes of self amusement before the day ended.

    Two minutes to go.

    Boy am I a slow typist. “So, how many words per minute do you type?” Good thing that doesn’t come up in conversation very often.

    “Yo. Man, you are one bad ass typist. Them are crazy fingers.”

    Yep. That about wraps it up for today.

  • Ouch

    It had to happen. The law of averages states that if you have too many outliers in one direction, something is bound to come along to balance the books. I just didn’t expect the hammer to fall on my poor, unexpecting iBook. It turns out my computer didn’t have The Qualifying Logic Board Problem after all. What does this mean? It means that it would cost around $400 dollars to fix. That’s a whole lot of hurting for a three year old computer with a replacement cost of around $800.

    There is a light at the end of this tunnel, so don’t stop reading yet.

    It was two nights ago. I was sitting in my family room, playing with my six year old, Revision B iMac (circa 1998), when my wife asked me if I wanted a new computer for the family room. The only thing more surprising than her question was my answer. “No”, I replied.

    I think it may be time to see if that offer has expired.

    “YOU, WITH THE DISTENDED WOMB, PUT DOWN THE WIPES! STEP AWAY AND KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! NOW SIT DOWN OVER THERE, KEEP YOUR HANDS IN YOUR LAP AND DON’T MOVE!”

    I may have won the battle but I feel like I’m losing the war.
