“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.
what movie symbolism are you? find out!”
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!
Just another froody Friday
Welcome, Dave (calandra) and Eric (epawtows), to yet another corner of cyberspace claimed by local fandom. Dave caused me a minor LiveJournal crisis this morning… I color code all my friends posts to the user… but I’d already used most of the workable combinations that had black backgrounds. Found another, though.
There’s a rushing sound in my left ear… it pulses in time to my heartbeat, so I have the feeling it’s related to blood flow… it gets worse when I move my head quickly, then subsides… it also gets louder when I’m agitated. I don’t know what it is, but it’s both worrying and annoying me. I should probably get checked for hypertension.
Missed lunch with the lovely raininva today ’cause I wasn’t watching the clock. It does mean I get to leave work earlier, since I’ll eat at my desk, but I hate missing time with her. It’s funny, but we both agree that even when we’re in separate rooms of our apartment, doing our own things, we’re more together than when one of us is there and the other’s off somewhere.
Enjoying hypertext
Okay… I have just proved to myself that I don’t have a single functioning braincell.
I’ve only been reading jdunson‘s comments to my various friends‘ posts for several days. Only today did it occur to me that I could add him to my Friends List.
D’oh!!
Hi James! I just downloaded the OS X binaries for ToME after reading your mentions in your journal. If this game sucks away my life like a Blizzard game does, it’s all your fault. 🙂
