LOOK HONEY, STEVE SHRUNK THE MAC!

I'm not a Mac user but OMFG can you just take a look at this...

and this...

and THIS?!

All for US$499.

Phrack the Honda Jazz. I'm putting my Google AdSen into this baby.

UPDATE (25 Jan 2005): Look at the many faces of the Mac Mini - people are using it as car stereo systems and media centres - and a desktop, of course!

NO CHEEKS FOR TODAY

I've been wearing a mask around the house yesterday and today. Bought like seven from an SS2 pharmacy for 50 sen each. Reason? I have a BAD flu and do not want to pass it to two-month old Skyler.

"Ha?" asked two-year old Raeven when she saw me making like Doctor Who yesterday.

That's her way of asking a question. Short and sweet.

"Mommy's got a cold, baby," I told her.Which is a shame because last night, she asked for "big hug please?" during bedtime. Forced myself to decline politely, despite wanting desperately to plant my smackers onto those chubby J&J powdered cheeks.

Damn the doctor for not giving me a shot.

ps. So was everyone affected by this afternoon's blackout? I went to the office at 12.20pm. Was going to plug in when the lights flickered once and then gave out completely. Went for lunch and then home again, only to receive an MSN message at about 3pm that the power was back on. Ah well.

LG PHONE PLAYS 3D GAMES

Check it out.

Having totally no thumb-finger coordination skills, I shouldn't be too excited, but I am. One wonders how they will handle input.

Ah well. Am waiting for the DS (US version) to restock. Heard they're selling the Japanese version in Imbi. Crazy Friend got one but can't read the damned thing.

On the heels of the skirmish men foolishly called the war to end all wars
the dark one sought to elude his destiny
and live as a mortal

so he fled across the ocean
to an empire called America
but by his mere presence
a cancer corrupted the spirit of the land
people were rendered mute
and fools who spoke many words but said nothing

for whom oppression and cowardice were virtues
and freedom
an obscenity

into this dark heartland
the prophet stalked his enemy
til, diminished by his wounds, he turned to the next in the ancient line of light so it was that the fate of mankind came to rest on the trembling shoulders on the most reluctant of saviours

HITTING PAYDIRT WITH GOOGLE ADSENSE

I've been on Google's Adsense for a little over a year now and guess what? I've earned *drumroll*...US$6.10!

That's about RM23.49, thank you very much. Check it out and weep!

Time to go book that Honda Jazz...

PHOTO MADNESS

The problem with having a camera these days - and by that, I mean a digital camera - is the sheer number of photos one takes.

Every once in a while, when I get in the mood, I will TRY and sift through the GIGAbytes of photos my husband and I have taken (most of which are of my daughter Raeven). We have three cameras between us, not including two camera phones, so you can imagine how crazy it all becomes after a while. I've even got pictures of someone's infested toenail! Yes! Crazy!

My filing system has become "Camera model-date taken". Then I look in them and file them according to subject matter and cross refer them to occasions. It's a little obsessive I know, but if I don't do it, you can bet my husband won't! And then what's going to happen is we will have DVDs of pictures and movies that get shelved because who the hell knows what "Casio-010105" is?!

How nice if someone could offer a service of sifting through your gazillions of pictures and then identifying good ones you can print, eh? Problem is what is good to them might not be good to you. You knowlah, us women.

Oh well. Back to more organising.

See you in a million years.
