A story about me

Today I went into an Apple store; I wanted to check out the monitors. I’m thinking about getting an Apple monitor for my Mac mini, although I am reluctant because although they look really nice, I can help but feeling they are almost certainly overpriced (you will see that this is a common theme in my thinking). Anyway, while I was in there I saw they had an iMac with Windows XP installed on it. I knew that it was possible, but it surprised me to see it in an Apple store.

So of course, the first thing which came to my mind (as a good computer dork) was: “trippleboot.” OS X, Windows and Linux on the same computer may actually be viable in the near future. I realized long ago that all operating systems irritate me at least to some degree, but if I can switch between them when I get tired of any one of them I can reduce that irritation.

Why I admire Michael Chiklis

He is a very good actor, esp. for the role he plays in The Shield. Usually I will watch a movie or TV show based on if I like the director or creator. Muchael Chicklis is the rare kind of actor that I’d go to a movie just because he is in it.

One thing you probably didn't know about me

The word plicease means “perfect collabroation” in Shasharian.

Why I admire Ridley Scott

This man is a genius when it comes to visual direction. All of his films are very pretty and extremely watchable.

A story about plicease

what plicease neglected to mention was that we also met on a train and that i dragged him all over the island of manhattan for museums and sushi and drinks and japanese music, and what did he do? he moved to australia! i won’t hold it against him, though, because he educates me on the wildlife of his continent with lots of interesting pictures.

A story about Nicole Kidman

I saw Nicole Kidman in an Indian Fusion resturant in Manhattan. I didn’t gawk, because that would be rude, but I pointed out to all my friends that she was from Australia, just like me. My friend Kathy was very excited, proclaiming that she was “A list” material.

A question I have about Larry Wall

When is perl 6 going to be released?

Why I want to meet Linus Benedict Torvalds

I don’t think Linus is a god, but he seems to be a pragmatic figure in the OpenSource movement.

Why I admire Russ Feingold

He voted against the USA PATRIOT act at a time when it was considered political suicide. He is also able to work with Republicans in order to pass legislation as illustrated by his work on the McCain-Feingold bill for campaign finance reform.
