iPod 5.0

I can not believe that my iPod is not smart enough to adjust for DST.

Open Office

I went to Stap[es yesterday to pick up a copy of Excel for a very important project for my best client. When I saw the price was $219.99 I had a decision to make. Do I do the proper 'business jerk' thing and suck it up and pay the retail price? Or do I finally download a copy of Open Office and hope it has support for Excel? I chose to do the latter, mostly because my margins are real tight this month, bust also because it's free. For some illogical reason I feel like I'm stealing (if I had some extra cash I'd totally contribute to the open source project). I'd like to say I'm sorry to Bill Gates for moving away from MS Office, but you really can't compete with free when it works so well. I going to start recommending  it to all of my clients.

evolution

Whether something evolves via nature or design-- it is still evolution.

you know what'd be cool

--is if Billy, from BSG, had a weblog.

I posted this before I saw the episode where Billy was killed in a stupid feat of heroism, so i guess that if the producers of Battle Star Galactica ever produce a blog from Billy-- it will be from the grave (or in his case the coldness of space).

OppoSITES are also the same.

Drowning in water is the same as dying in space. Your local universe, by it's own nature, has the same effect on your biology. Each is anti-- to the usual local environment, whether to much pressure or not enough (water pushing in and space pulling out) you're still going to perish.

Speciation

I would posit that autistics are a evolutionary response to emotional humans.
