Been too busy

to post regularly here, but I guess I'll just run through a few updates:

I finally bought and installed OS X Tiger on my 17" iMac last week (soon to be installed on my 15" Al.PowerBook). In a nutshell, the upgrade was a subtle one. No significant changes to the UI and the only noticeable features at this point are Widgets, Spotlight, and Automator. A few screenshots for the 2% of people who actually care:

I'm learning to embrace the bad luck that's been plaguing my life lately. Yet another unfortunate event: I came home from the city tonight at around 7pm. I started settling in when I realized that one of my watches was missing from the top of my dresser. I distinctly remembered looking at it and deciding not to wear it before I left my apartment on Saturday afternoon. I spend the night in the city at a friend's, come back on Sunday night and it's gone. Since $1,500 Raymond Weil watches don't just grow legs and walk away, it leads me to believe that maintenance or management may have been in here, since the door was locked securely when I got back. I turned my apartment upside down looking for it, but I'm starting to realize that I should just count my losses and move on. Upon speaking to my mother (from whom the watch was a gift), she provided me with some much needed perspective on the situation in the form of a gentle reminder that there are many other things in life that weigh much heavier on the heart, and that I should just let it go. Of course, she's right, but I loved that watch. :(

Stuff happens, life goes on, and Monday morning is just around the corner. Have a great week, everyone.
