Oh my good golly. Not only did Apple announce the availability of a public preview version of QuickTime 5 today at the QuickTime Live! conference, but I think they may have actually listened to the people who use the software.

Always the cheerleader for resuscitating technology that has been relegated into the realm of perceived obsolescence, I’ve found another cause.

I killed a mouse today. A piece of crap Logitech three-button mouse. It had decided to stop working with any trace of consistancy, so I pulverized it into tiny, uniform pieces the size of a quarter using a fifty pound bar of steel.

The vaguely interesting statistic of the day. As of 9:46 pm this evening, I will have been maintaining a weblog on this site for exactly six months.
