MacBook Pro
Sure, it costs $500 more than the Powerbook I was looking at. But it has two processors! And a remote!
In truth, I am a little torn, because it's got the Intel chips that Apple has switched to (and I don't really want to be stuck with the IBMs if they decide to stop supporting it), but also because they give no specs on battery life for the MacBook. For me, battery life has become a very important feature. I'm sick of having two-ish hours on a charge, and I know the Powerbook can go up to 5.
Of course, this all hangs on me having an extra two grand lying around come summer. (C'mon gullible iftv sponsors!)

Damnit. I had all but resolved to pick up a 12" Powerbook this summer, when Apple goes ahead and releases this:

Question about the debate: Did Harper say (prior to the debate) that he admired Rene Levesque, and was inspired by his example? Duceppe seemed to say so, and Harper didn't deny it. Oughtn't that be a bigger deal than they made it out to be?

Sorry to hear that, Jess. Isn't tomorrow (or sometime soon) Belle's lucky 13th?

Nancy Grace on the Colbert Report:
Colbert: You've been critical of defense attorneys-Haha. Pure gold.
Grace: Yes, I have.
C: - and I couldn't agree with you more. I don't understand; by the time somebody's arrested, they're probably guilty.
G: Are you mocking me? Are you mocking me?! You're mocking!
C: Are you suggesting that I don't mean what I say?

Didn't actually watch the debate... I was busy shooting all the deer without horns while Jere was busy shooting all the deer with horns. Then we went and played video game hockey. But, I did read through the NP and G&M this morning (And really, media impressions and 5 second clips are all that matters anyways.)
Favorite 5 second quote: "...the fact is that Quebecers built Canada. This is their country."
I think to Quebecers that quote will sound more like a rude sucking noise. It'd be interesting to watch the debates tonight... but then again... I think there is a hockey game on TV...
Anyways, Here is a play-by-play from the G&M.

My dog is having trouble breathing again tonight (this happens about once a month, and usually only lasts for the night, but one of these days she's just not going to be alive in the morning.)

woo hoo! way to go Jack Layton! he wasn't nearly as obvious about pointing fingers or doing the whole name calling thing. accusations abounded, but Jack seemed less involved somehow. (or maybe I missed those parts of the debate...) And, he gave us some 'new' ideas, instead of just asking why old ideas weren't being used, worked on, etc. he won the debate for me. Do I know who I'm voting for? not really, but meh... I'll figure something out, so that I'll throw my vote away in some artful manner...
Rajotte has not responded to my e-mail yet. (and I wasn't rather sardonic either)
