Some things:

New widgets to die for:

Package tracker:  Tracks UPS, FedEx and DHL, within the widget.  That’s the best part, really, some widgets are nice in theory, but end up being glorified pretty dashboard links, instead.  This one just works within itself.  It keeps the numbers you enter, so you don’t have to constantly look them up; for UPS you don’t have to agree to their T&C every.single.time you visit (or choose USA, etc etc) AND, it’s accurate within the hour.  I watched Dave’s guitar as my first test package (and yay! it’s here, wheee) and within an hour of the guitar being delivered, the status changed to ‘delivered.’ Pretty cool.

Sudoku:  I am a total sudoku convert, now, and this is nice because it allows you to put in ‘pencil marks,’ or, the possible numbers for each square. Yeehaw!

Bug: I am irrationally peeved by a promo for a new show starring Neil Patrick Harris, who I have a newfound love for since his Harold & Kumar role.  He’s in the back of a car, and his line is "I am SO going to put this in my BLOG!" and it’s just not right. The better, and more appropriate line would be "I’m SO blogging this!" Right? I mean, the line he uses (not his fault, I know) sounds like when grandma tries to sing along to your Van Halen tape, know what I mean? Just . .  wrong. And trying too hard to appeal to The Demographic.  I mean, I hate the word blog, but I know how to use it.

Thumbs up:  TypePad WILL let you upload movie files! This will so come in handy when we have a kid.  I was on campus for the iMovie part of a class, because I’ve never done anything with video before.  I mean, that’s Dave’s CAREER, so he handles that while I handle stills. My school didn’t have a camera we could use, and I tested out of the basic IT class that covers it (the same one I sat in on for the last two days).  I needed to learn it in some fashion, just since I’ll be lab assisting, I want to know the programs, right?

Anyway. This was the project I helped out on. I call it the "thanks, Dave, for letting me quit my job and go to grad school" movie.  It requires quicktime, and is a little over 4MB in size, and there is sound (but it’s worksafe) so, if you’re bored, you can watch it by clicking here. 

One of the names credited was the manufacturer of the fountain. Hee.
