We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

And here is a cool dog story that I found via Free kibble.

The takeaway I got from that is that that guy's ex-wife was a stone bitch: she took the dog in the divorce, and then surrendered her to the pound, instead of giving him the chance of taking her back. He could have had ten years with that dog. How malicious.

Given that Beeblebrox remembers you I think moving him is worth the risk.

Yay! I feel very positive about this right now. Logistically, it will be a PITA (I'll need to fly in and out of Boston and rent a car) but doable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Since Beebs remembers you, Nora, maybe he'll do fine with moving house.

Here's the best photo ever taken of a writer: Edward Gorey, at home, asleep with cats.

Consuela, that's what I thought too. What a heartless bitch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Typing on the Chromebook at a cafe in the East Bay.

I've decided that the Chromebook represents an apposite philosophy to Apple, which totally fetishes the object itself. Whereas the Chromebook is an appliance to get on the Internet, which is where they expect you'll get your "Wow!" instead of Apple's (admittedly lovely) box opening experience.

But for $250 I've got a computer with a keyboard and I can get online, and do my work on Google Docs and whatnot.

I tested the screen resolution at the store by running the Great Gatsby trailer on YouTube as that's the most sumptious thing I've seen lately.

I'm never very good with a trackpad. That's one of the big reasons I got a ThinkPad, I love the nub.

Apparently the Chromebook gives you 2 posts for the price of one!

(I kid! My Dad asked for a Chromebook for his last birthday, so that's what the kids got him. I thought he was crazy for not wanting a tablet instead, but he really loves it.)

I've had a Chromebook for over a year now, and I think it's great. Trackpad is a pain though.
