I’m feeling a little down right now with a sore throat and a sinus something-or-another. I took the day off work and yet I didn’t. I was able to check email and be a big nerd from the comfort of my home. Remind me again why technology is so great? I took a big stinkin’ nap right in the middle of it all and feel a little better.

Surfing around the Internet led me to the new annoucement from MacWorld about Apple’s $499 Mac mini and $99 iPod Shuffle. The Mac mini might be worth looking at for my parents if I can find a suitable replacement for Solitaire and Freecell :). I’d get one for myself if they were G5’s, but all things considered, it doesn’t seem as if it’s too bad a product. It may be 3 or 4 years late to the party, but I’m sure it won’t hurt the drive for market-share.

I tried to broaden my diet cola horizon beyond just “diet code red mountain dew” and picked up Diet Cherry Coke. I have to admit - I’m impressed. I’m impressed Coca-Cola was able to accurately capture the taste of kerosene in a drink. I’m impressed that, as badly as it tastes, it didn’t give me diarrhea. A better description is “Diet Asshole in a Can”.

I now have glorious heat working in all its heating glory.
