OmniWeb 4.2 Beta 2 is now out for you OS X kids. It seems to fix that annoying bug that made it crash every two seconds. Hmm, maybe I’ll have to switch back from Safari…
Bichel… Bichel… Biiiiichelllllllllllllll! (Apologies to the non-cricket fans, but Australia – previously unbeaten in the World Cup – just almost got their asses handed to them by the Kiwis. Luckily Andy Bichel, the Champion of the World, was once again available to play the hero…)
In case there was any doubt at all, this picture clearly reestablishes Renee Zellweger as my nemesis. She’s just too friggin’ gawky and weird right now.
For the most part, the Snook and I are so similar that I just kinda forget that we grew up in different countries. Every now and then, though, I make a startling discovery, like the fact that he’s never eaten Kraft Macaroni and Cheese before. How weird is that? Luckily the box my Aunt Deb sent me for Christmas made it through quarantine, so I was able to initiate him into the realm of crap budget pasta dishes tonight. It was just inconceivable to me that he’d never experienced the joys of elbow macaroni and day-glo orange cheese powder before. I’m happy to report that – though he initially thought it had a “strange aftertaste” – he quickly wolfed down his portion. Another bridge crossed…
Another rainy day; another wet birthday card. The forecast doesn’t look any better for the rest of the week. This sucks.
This article about iBook battery problems is seriously freaking me out. Apparently some people are reporting that after the 10.2.4 OS X upgrade their batteries get drained flat in no time, and the only recourse is to get them replaced. As mine is mostly a desktop machine I keep it plugged in pretty much 24/7, so I haven’t noticed this yet. I’m almost afraid to unplug it though. Anybody else having problems?
I love it when Ebert goes off on non-movie-related rants. Now he’s got a bug up his nose about public prayer. I like his distinction between “vertical” and “horizontal” praying, but I think he’s a little unfair in saying that all public praying is done for recruitment or exclusion. I’m not religious but I went to a Catholic university, and I know that sometimes a group of people like to express their faith together. It didn’t bother me and I didn’t feel like they were going out of their way to try to convert or alienate me. Of course, I can see where having a group of Bible beaters glaring at your during a sporting event would be kind of annoying…
Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are starring in The Pirates of the Caribbean, according to this interview. I predict that the sight of such chiseled and beautiful cheekbones on the screen together will be almost too painful to look at. Almost.
I had to wait forever for a bus and my nice leather shoes got all wet and some stupid soaked girl plopped down right beside me and I didn’t have any change for the train and there were idiots with golf umbrellas everywhere and when I got home I discovered that a birthday card from my grandparents was sticking out of the mailbox and had gotten almost too wet to read. *sniff*

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
