some random crap

While I'm not a fan of Howard Dean, I have to give the man a lot of credit for his innovative marketing. Besides his blog and several other sites, he now has a (repetitive, crappy) shockwave game where you can run around in the fake snow and recruit fake supporters. That's pretty slick.

Oh lord do I want a Sony QRIO so so so badly.

This is some seriously, seriously bad math. See if you can spot where the reporter failed 6th grade math class:

"Where Apple was once one of the most profitable companies in the category, its operating profit margins have declined precipitously from 20% in 1981 to a meager 0.4% today, just one-tenth the industry average of 2%."

Oh, and my brother and I made cheese tonight with a make it yourself kit. Well, we set up the curd, which has to sit for 12 hours, and then dry for two days, and then age for two months. But we did the effort intensive five hour baking and preparation thingy tonight. That was fun. Tomorrow we brew up some beer.
