Tough choice
I went to the comic shop today for the first time in a month.
I picked up my pre-ordered Heroes hardcover.
Then I had to choose.
Which cover: Jim Lee or Alex Ross ???????
Since I originally ordered it for a comic book experience I went with Jim Lee but Ross' renditions where....well, very Alex Ross.
A simple search will show you how hard the choice was.
Dawn of a new day
I am posting today from my new computer. Many friends who know my computing desires intimately know that I have wanted a Mac for some time now. And most of them have tried to dissuade me. Last Wednesday I unpacked the pretty box to find an even prettier 20" iMac w/ 2GB ram inside.
Migrating files became much easier when I stopped trying to use the iMac like a Windows machine. It has not been serendipitously easy; rather a simple puzzle for a computer vet. It was not as challenging as Ubuntu but much more simple than reinstalling XP on the PC or setting up and migrating to a new PC.
I'm a fanboy in the making. It is important to note that I don't think XP (or Microsoft for that matter) "sucks" but that this tech-curious tangent is a facet of my computer hobby. Microsoft definitely has work to do before I try another one of their OSs.
Cheers

Great Day
I had the best Tuesday (maybe ever). I took my first few calls at work which included a gentleman who said I was a credit to the company and he hoped everyone he talked to there was as nice as me (I blushed). I won a Lemon Merange Pie. I had a great spin class (best yet). And my new computer was delivered.
Here is to good days!
Cheers.

Back in the saddle
I started my phone support gig with [insert company name]. The first week was a mix of boring new-hire paperwork & admonishments as well as getting my hands on some of the coolest products every.
The training, job tools, products etc. seem to be really smart. Best job tools I've ever worked with.
The bathrooms on the other hand are the dumbest smart things ever. The soap & paper towel dispensers are motion automated. About the time you are done rinsing the soap from your hands the more soap squirts out so you have to be quick or you will be there for ever. The paper towels seem to know exactly when you don't need one and roll-out another 2 feet of towel.

Transform and roll up
Sonny and I had fun taking the kids around again this year. Most other Dads seemed to be strolling with drinks in their hand and looked a bit warmer than we felt.
I can't wait until next year.
