Smart Car Day

by Dave

Apparently today was “Drive Your Smart Car in Fridley Day.” I actually saw four of them this afternoon/evening. I can only say that there were two for sure (I saw one blue one, and three black ones), but the three black ones were seen far apart, both in time and distance. I can’t believe anybody would buy one of those things.

It's Alive! It's Alive!

by Dave

Finally, after much aggravation, my new MacBook is alive and well (and also running Windows XP). I was having an issue with my Boot Camp partition not showing up during the Windows install. Turns out my XP disc was too old and didn’t include SP2. Thanks to the instructions on this site, I was able to slipstream it. The install went perfectly after that. Hooray for my new Mac. I loves it.

Apartment Upgrades

by Dave

The patio door in our apartment is being replaced as I type this. Finally, no more cold air blowing through the cracks at the base of the door. Last week they replaced our bedroom window and put up new blinds. It looks much nicer with the vertical blinds rather than the roll-up shades we used to have. The only downer is the cleanup; construction is always a little messy. It’s definitely worth the hassle, though.

Caffeine Free

by Dave

Life is so much harder without caffeine. My stomach has been bothering me the last several days, so I went to see the doc. In addition to giving me pills, he recommended laying off the pop until I’m better. I was dragging so bad all day. We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
