I have a lot of personal e-mail and LiveJournal commenting to catch up on. I keep thinking I’ll work on it in the evenings, but there always ends up being something else to do.
I could work on my commenting here from work, but my bosses expect me to work on these spec ads like they’re paying me or something.
“Yum”, the iMac girl
Relating to my post about Macs and B&D, here’s the “dojinshi”-ish graphic that some were asking about:
You can find a nice desktop / wallpaper sized image here, as well as Yum in the fruit flavors.
http://www.polycount.com has a model of her that can be used in Quake 3 and Voyager: Elite Force.
This LiveJournal explains my Macintosh computing preference. Apparently I’m a “bottom” and didn’t even know it.
What Movie Symbolism Are You?
“You are a recurring ‘doves’ theme. You’re Mission: Impossible – 2; on the up-side, you’re kind of spiritual. On the down-side, everyone thinks you’re overdramatic and pretentious.

An expensive morning
Mister Jobs just announced at Macworld NY that Mac OS X 10.2 – “Jaguar” is official, and will be released to the public August 24.
My problem: It will cost $129.
New GeForce or Radeon video card to take advantage of Jaguar’s high-speed graphics rendering will cost $130 – $150… less if I let the eBay mistress raininva find me a good deal.
I’m not even going to talk about the cost of the announced 1 GHz processor upgrade which would more than double the speed of my current machine.
Understand, I’m not whining – these are all “wish list” items, and I’ll manage fine with what I have until I can get them. But I do sometimes wish I indulged in a less expensive hobby. Assuming there are any.
Addendum (12:25pm) Looks like current 10.1.5 users might be able to upgrade to Jaguar for about $19.95. That improves my mood some. 🙂

One more concert addendum…
Of course, Keith Brinegar won the tickets. He wins radio station contests constantly – the DJs all know him by name. *sigh*
Well, that concert I mentioned is Tuesday the 30th in Virginia Beach, so I wouldn’t possibly have been able to go anyway. It figures, ’cause I could easily have won the tickets this morning by identifying the three TV show themes.
I hope my sweetie feels better. raininva was not well last night, and not a lot better this morning. She says she’s going to leave work as soon as she can do so without penalty, which is good. Go home and rest, hun! I love you!
