Flirting With OS X
Flirting with OS X – adulation for the new MacOS from Moshe Bar. (via MacSlash) I’m really looking forward to getting my feet wet in the Unix CLI and finally learning some programming in C++.

Brief guide to removable storage options, link via Gizmodo. One of my classmates has a 128MB USB keychain drive, and it works like a charm; popping up as a new drive on the desktop as soon as it’s plugged in. Handy.

Happy birthday to my youngest brother Javi, who turns 14 today. FOURTEEN. Now I feel ancient.
Notes to self:

2. Don’t crack knuckles. DON’T. CRACK. KNUCKLES.

Adult Swim
Jasper the Cat and I are watching Adult Swim. So far, this “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” has been one Hanna-Barbera in-joke after another. It’s hilarious.

Barlow Girls? Not related to that Barlow, are they?
