So I came out alive. Still have both my arms and legs. Brain is a little smaller though. :clap: I even got a little souvenir in the form of the mousepad they had at the computers. (I didn’t steal it though, I asked for it.)
How does something that affects someone else’s life affect yours?
On my way home, I saw something thought provoking. There were a bunch of kids, maybe in their late teens, laughing and joking around on the side of the freeway next to what I’m assuming was their stalled car. Poor kids. They were all wearing some sort of Detroit Piston paraphernalia. Poor kids. But that’s beside the point.
What I realized though, was that I witnessed something those kids are probably going to remember for the rest of their days. I wondered what kind of impact it’s going to have their lives. It was like watching ‘Stand By Me’. And then I wondered, how is witnessing their experience going to affect my life? Sometimes its really eye opening to see that you are not the only person living out your life on Earth. :ponder:
Right now I’m wondering if any of them got hit by a car.

So this is what it feels like…maybe.
Tomorrow I walk the Green Mile. It takes 8 hours.
Tonight, I will ask for a nice meal. Perhaps a juicy burger.
:wacko:

A while ago, I posted about Sigalert.com and it’s greatness. I’ve discovered a tool like this for most metropolitan cities:
>> Greater Detroit – Yahoo! Maps with Traffic Info
They aren’t as detailed but it’s something. If you look at the map of the greater Detroit area, you can almost see all the pot holes represented by the dots.

The first real bug. It now resides in the Smithsonian.

So coffee really is addicting.
No so much to the caffiene, but just trying to see if you can make half-decent coffee and enjoy it at home. Supposedly, there is nothing better than freshly roasted and ground beans brewed just before serving.
I caved and returned my all-in-one grinder/brewer and got an entry level grinder and a good drip brewer. So far, so good. Snobs will say there is no such thing as a good drip brewer so as long as I have this, I’m not a coffee snob. 
Yesterday I made some excellent iced coffee. :jittery:

So the rumor of Apple ditching IBM wasn’t just a rumor and it was confirmed today.
I wonder how they are going to stop people from running Mac OS on any old PC. Surely, there will be ways to get around the hardware locks. Apple intends to only allow it’s OS to function on Apple PCs.

>> Apple Throws the Switch, aligns with Intel
