Catching up on some news

Taking a few minutes this morning to play catch up with the news of the blogosphere:

Will wonders never cease? *L* Seriously though, it’s an excellent point! When people ask me for advice or recommendations on what computer they should buy, the first thing out of my mouth is “What are you going to use it for?”. The person using it to surf the web and email long lost relatives is going to want a different computer than the person editing his digital movies, wouldn’t you think?

Spotted the open letter to John Ashcroft the other day as well. All I’ve got to say to that is it must have been a hell of a job that the Justice Department has done in fighting domestic terrorism, illegal drugs, corporate fraud, etc.. Afterall if they now have the time and resources to make arresting people who use P2P networks to copy music a top priority, those other things must be completely finished, eh? Take a good hard look at the Senators and Representatives who signed that letter and understand exactly who they have sold out to.

Hmm seems as though I had fewer minutes than I thought, and well, nothing else really got my writing mojo going this morning anyway. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to write an email explaining how to change your printer defaults, because no matter how many times I say it, some people still don’t get it.
