The Twitter thinks I've been very busy indeed

My tweet count, overnight, has more than doubled. Strange, considering there hasn't been any baseball to tweet about in over a month. I've also noticed that "follower" and "who I'm following" counts, when viewed from apps, is all out of order, where it used to be chronological. Odd behavior is odd?

Windows 7 is reminding me that it is indeed made in Redmond, WA.

The iPod classic & its mortal enemy…

Lint. I couldn't believe how much there was. The play/pause button — hosed. Before and after cleaning; it was worse before snapping these photos. Not crazy dust bunny land, but surprising for a device that appears to be airtight.

After cleaning, it's still a little wonky. Probably due to me mashing the play/pause button for the last few months before I had the nerve to crack the seals. And that?

A. Chore.

Epic. Photoshop. Fail.

This is the cover for the Windows 7 Product Guide. The computer is an Apple PowerBook G4 (a.k.a. TiBook). I owned one for 4 and a half years. Great laptop, and one of the last of the PowerPC Mac laptops made between 2001-2006.

Windows 7. Supposedly running on really pretty 6 year old Apple hardware (mine, at least), at least for marketing purposes. Does anyone in Redmond, WA check this stuff before it leaves the building?
