My Name is Mike
Mike is in Austin, TX training to be a Mac Genius, but he was able to find time to send me a picture of his new mustache:
I like it more than I thought I would, but it is a little too "My Name is Earl."

Rest in peace.

To iTouch, or not to iTouch, that is the question.
So, I'm thinking about buying an iTouch, but I keep getting stuck on the idea that I'm just buying a dumb-downed iPhone. On the other hand, I have a five year old iPod mini and I could just see it as a new glorified iPod. What do all you iPhone users out there think? You'd think that the Mac Specialist (Mike) would tell me what to do, but he won't. Jerk :). The other piece of pertinent information is that I am locked into a T-Mobile contract for at least another year and I'm not really into the idea of paying even more money each month for my phone service.

Retroactive Continuity
The concept of retroactive-continuity (aka retcon) has always both fascinated and annoyed (think George Lucas) me ever since I first learned about it from Chip, Sean and James at the Comic-con in San Diego. Now I have learned that Mike's nephew, Adam, attempted to retcon me by placing me at his birth (he was looking at pictures from the blessed event and he pointed to a picture of one of Mike's sister's friends and identified it as me). I have officially been retconned by a 4 year old. I love it!

Happy
Life is stressful, but I am happy. I've mainly been sticking close to home, working on my dissertation and hanging out with Mike (between bouts of paid labor and family dramas anyway, but more on that (maybe) later). I also have a new camera, the Canon G9. My friend Joe recommended it because I wanted a point and shoot to take on a family trip to Europe this summer. So, I did exactly what George Bush wanted me to do--I primed the pump by pouring my economic stimulus money back into the economy, rather than using it to pay off bills like a should. Oh well, here are some picture of Mike (aka Big Mike) with my new camera--
These aren't the best example of what my new camera can do, but I'm just so happy to be able to upload some photos that I had to share.
Later-
