I Heart Huckabee’s
Sunday, February 27th, 2005Finally watched it. Interesting flick. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I think the hype around how good it was made me expect a lot more. So how am I not myself?
How to make Windows XP look a lot better
Friday, February 25th, 2005I use a Mac by default, and I love it. One of the many things I love about Mac is that nearly everything looks better.

But it wasn’t until the last twenty to thirty minutes that things really got going and intrigued me. Granted, all of that ending stuff [...]
