Apple Mac OS X Tiger update 10.4.3 is out, I installed it and am having no issues.
There’s a bunch of fixes in it, read more here.

My new Technorati Profile.

I added some photos to my gallery. I took these at a seminar I recently attended with Professor Pedro Sauer.

Normally the President ignores this region, since it always goes the Republican’s way.
Is this a sign of something? Maybe wavering support? Who knows.
All I know is most people are just going to be pissed that it’ll make them late to work. Well, those of us who still have jobs, anyway.

I wonder if they’re profiteering at all? My solution? Stop driving land yachts that you don’t need. Not only is it making prices go up due to consumption, but it’s polluting the earth. Just stop. I can understand the few instances where you need a giant vehicle (hauling stuff….hauling…heavier stuff, ferrying people).

I’m not all that surprised that Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. She didn’t sit right with either party. I just hope they don’t nominate someone worse, like Ashcroft or Gonzalez.

I’m absolutely shocked about this.

Pork has made an appearance in the “war on terror”.

Where a pharmacist can refuse to fill a prescription just because they feel like it. First intelligent design, and now this?
The flying spaghetti monster is looking down on this and shedding a marinara tear.
And if “all life is sacred”, explain hunting, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals, war, and the death penalty to me.

A true pioneer in the Civil Rights movement, Rosa Parks died today at the age of 92. Some people say she planned the whole thing to work out how it did.
In the end, does it matter? A lot of good came from her act. American businesses and governments were shown that discrimination would not be tolerated.
We need more Rosa Parks in the world.

I have a seminar with this guy tomorrow. I’m incredibly nervous.

I fixed my Mt. Trashmore Gallery as well.
I’m just on a roll, eh?
By the way, Mt. Trashmore is….a pile of garbage and soil, covered with grass.
I feel so podunk with that in my town.

I fixed my National Zoo Gallery too.
I love subethaedit’s find and replace features.

I fixed my Virginia Aquarium (caution, lame embedded music) gallery.

Here it is.

If you’re a fan of literature at all, and don’t feel like reading, then I would suggest getting the seanachai podcast. If you don’t know what a podcast is, then you’ve been living under a rock, obviously.

My gallery is open for registrations!
Give it a whirl.

Apple announced a few updated products this past Wednesday. Full disclosure, I have and love a 12” 1ghz Powerbook G4. They bumped up the bus speeds, video cards, and pixel depth on their powerbook models, that’s probably the last bit of life that can be squeezed out of the G4, topping out at 1.5ghz, I’m not that impressed. What I’m really geeked for are the new G5 dual core processor Powermacs. For the uninformed, a dual core processor is basically like taking two processor’s brains, and sticking them on one chip, you can throttle the processing power, play solitaire on one while converting a video on the other, etc. Then I saw the dual dual-core 2.7ghz G5 Powermac. My jaw nearly hit the floor, that’s over 10ghz of processing power for around $3,000. I’m not sure about the video iPod, time will tell, but it’s Apple, so never count them out.
Aperture is not a photoshop killer, they can and should co-exist, it’s been a while since Adobe has had some real competition in the photo editing market, ever since they bought Macromedia.
My name is Rob, and I’m an Apple nerd.

Doesn’t he take the cutest mug shots?
But seriously, I don’t really think the charges can stick, they’re reaching for straws.
As left as I lean from time to time, I just can’t see myself fervently behind throwing him in jail for something that a couple of people working for him did. I don’t agree with a conspiracy charge, I think it’s a BS catch-all charge for when the powers that be have nothing concrete(think Martha Stewart).
He may be hypocritical and narcicisstic, but I don’t think he had anything to do with this.

Many great (and not so great) works of Literature are available online, via the Gutenberg project.
It saved me from buying a Pushkin compilation just for Pikavaya Dama.
If you have a PDA, you’ll especially want some of these for long commutes.
