REMINDER: When I get home this evening I need to add Foxtrot and Joy of Tech widgets to my desktop.

Since Marcus moved our computers around, the iSight's cable will no longer reach from the case to the monitor. I've never liked the way the darned thing sits on my monitor and it's always falling down. I don't want to tape the stand to the monitor because I don't like the angle it's at, anyway. While searching for a longer firewire cable (it has to be one of those thin Apple ones) or some kind of extender, I found SightFlex. This is perfect! Now I just need to find somebody with one in stock. The site I linked to is out indefinitely. If I can find one, maybe I'll actually be on my iSight more often. Too cool! I wish I could come up with some neat device like that.

I went to the Apple OS X Tiger Premier and all I got was this lousy scratch ticket!

Just kidding...I've got no problem winning a free iTunes song. I purchased Woo Hoo by the 5678s. It would've been better if I had been one of the iPod or Powerbook winners. *sigh* I was hoping for something tangible like a t-shirt or even the dog tags we got at the Panther premiere. Oh, well.

I just read that Adobe (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.) purchased Macromedia (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc.) for $3.4 Billion.

By combining our development, authoring and collaboration software - along with the complementary functionality of Adobe PDF documents and Macromedia Flash - Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.

Wow.

I'm just sitting here doing a little blog surfing and while at Bitchypoo I folowed a link Robyn had in her sidebar to Smart & Sassy. I've wondered what that was for a while, but never bothered to click. Anyway, it's a site where she and two other women have an online advice column. I'm amazed by some of the problems that people write to them with. Of course, I'm sometimes amazed by the people that call Dr. Laura, too.

BTW, I've added a field to put the music I'm currently listening to or the television show I'm watching. Like the little iPod graphic I made?
