The next chapter in my life officially started. Turning the page took four months, but the move from high school student to working-class (and *still* college-bound) man is complete. I finally have a viable routine for eventually getting to/paying for college. And while I hate putting all of my creative interests on hold to work a nine to six, my temporary setback will not seem so bad when I have thousands of dollars saved for attending college. I do not feel coherent enough to write more. Sleep calls me.
President George W. Bush, State of the Union 2003 Address
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to humanity.
We Americans have faith in ourselves — but not in ourselves alone.
We do not claim to know all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God behind all of life, and all of history.
May He guide us now, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
My first two days of work at Postal Annex eliminated any original plans of having a non-intensive eight hours of minimum effort and wage job five days a week. The "no-brainer" job that I desired is actually a non-stop thrill ride of helping customers through the ridiculously varied processes for shipping whatever through different mail couriers when I am not making copies/faxes/keys or logging/notifying/sorting incoming mail. On the bright side, I am $128 (minus CA state taxes, federal taxes, social-security, medicare, and whatever else the government will take from me) closer to college and that makes every moment of slave labor worthwhile.
Dear Opera Software
This Mac user will not mourn the loss of your product on Mac OS X. Your browser is what Mozilla for Windows wants to be when the open-source community starts understanding the average user. The version 6 beta for Mac OS X lags a version behind the Windows counterpart and is downright clunky. Stop acting like Apple owes you an opportunity and make a decent product. Strike that, just stop all together. The fat lady has sung.
Following the tradition of original PowerMac G4, the updated PowerMac G4s are overpriced and underpowered compared to Windows-based computers. If Mac OS X for x86 existed, I would have Dell hardware running the OS 400% faster for 200% cheaper. Good thing this is the Year of the Laptop for Apple because its professional desktop line continues to not impress me (or Apple’s bottom line). Okay, okay, enough hardball. The new PowerMacs are respectable, but $1499 is still a high entry point considering how much you need to upgrade the base options to have a machine worthy of the "PowerMac" label.

MP3s via Wi-Fi AND Java?! I’m sold.
Happy Birthday Macintosh! Yes, it is true. I was born the year of the Apple Macintosh, nine days before actually.
It sounds like a sentimental mule.
