Hot, If Not Derivative Commercial
So I'm sitting on the couch and this commercial comes on where some hot model type chick standing on a NYC subway platform gets "cut" by a dude exiting the train as he flips open his phone and it grazes model chick's dress. A battle ensues a lá Animatrix but in live action. The accompanying soundtrack is compelling as well. The spot is for a Motorola phone and the track isn't new (Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko) but it's good.

Fascinating
Debate on Amputee Sprinter: Is He Disabled or Too-Abled?
This is a very interesting question - and one that will be asked more and more as technology progresses. The fact that a person born with such a (what not long ago would have been considered) 'handicap' is now considered a threat to competition freaks me out. It's like exciting and scary at the same time.I'm interested to see how this guy's case develops.

My Brain's Gonna Splode :: Wii, Orb, Haircut, NY
Begin bulleted list
- [I'd like to file this under 'early adopter'] So I got myself a Wii. It happened somewhat quickly and very nerdily. It's set up in my living room with the output projected on the wall in a nice 3x4 ft window. I already have tennis elbow (no joke) and have successfully sent some Miis over to my buddy who has one (and gets credit for turning me onto it).
I've been sehr diligent in my training and am already close to pro status in tennis. It gets better though -- after installing Orb on my media PC, I can access all files, pictures, videos, mp3s, and documents from my Wii. I now sit on my couch in the evenings and surf YouTube instead of watching TV. Welcome to the future. - Orb is a little program that acts sort of like a streaming server.. From any other machine you hit a website, log in, and have access to your host. It's very sweet, if not a bit buggy on my Vista laptop [grrr].
- Got shorn today. I'm moving back towards a 'hican [or is it mullethawk?]. Once I sort out exactly how its going to be documentation in the form of pictures will be posted.
- I'm going to New York next week to visit my family -- especially my ailing grandmother. I am very excited to be able to see her, but am simultaneously sad about what I expect to encounter when I get there. She fell very ill on Easter and her status is still somewhat unclear.

A Watershed Moment
First let me open this post with "Viacom sucks". After reading & viewing videos from regular folks like you and me who got censored due to Viacom's uber-agressive pursuit of 'copyright infringement' I am totally down on that conglom. Not that it will be hard, but I'm boycotting their holdings (wait, is MTV even running anymore?). Remember: Viacom sucks.
Onto more important matters.

I got a shiny new laptop a few days ago (name is GoGo) and in doing so, ignored the little gnawing doubt in my gut that the OS it came with -- Windows Vista -- would be solid. I have geek friends back in New York who would rip me down if they heard that I a) bought another Sony Vaio and b) one that came with Vista. But whatever.
Regardless, I've spent the past couple of days trying to learn the little tricks and features of the OS while also trying to network it to my desktop PC which runs XP Media Edition (again a Sony). Things did not go well. First, I found waaaay to many returns on the search "Vista & XP networking trouble" and second, none of the forums I found that addressed the topic contained any clear solution. I perservered on this issue in the background while I've been (actually) doing some paid work.
I am proud to announce that this afternoon, at approximately 4.15pm, I successfully got my XP machine and the Vista (wireless) to see each other, and allow file transfer between them. What does this mean? To you, almost nothing. To me, the myriad ofporn multimedia morsels that reside up there (including Tivo'd stuff) is now available to me on the go.
Don't forget:
Update: (8.15pm) Both machines have dropped off the network and are unable to 'see' each other. Whatever. Vista blows. Guess I'll just shut off my firewall, turn on total sharing and wait for my identity to get duped a thousand times and wind up on the Internet.

¡Hasta la Vista!
I gots me some new laptop. It's running Vista So far, ima give it a B-. My biggest complaint is when like a window keeps blinking or menu items don't quite work properly.
The fades, gradients, transparencies, etc. are nice lil flourishes but ultimately un-crucial (?) to effective, efficient computing.
Whatever I gots me my sidebar with 'gadgets'.
And I can wirelessly access my iTunes library upstairs. (how '04)
