Happy Buddha
Here's a guy I saw in a Chinese restaurant in an airport. Maybe in Chicago. But I don't remember. Looks like maybe he's been eating a little too much. Picture courtesy of the now-retired famous RAZR-cam. Part of my famous Statue series.
The need for new Great Art grows ever more desperate. Fortunately, we have a camping trip scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend. Plus, it's a campground we've never visited before, so I'll be looking at things with a fresh eye. So hang on for a few more weeks, Loyal Readers.
There's also the ward Halloween party this Friday, if I can remember my camera. Which will probably be difficult, as I'm planning to leave the office an hour early and go directly from the station to the church. I'll have to either leave it in the trunk in the morning or ask the Loyal Readers to bring it for me.
I hear that Loyal Reader Number One received his computer's memory stick in the mail and got it installed today. Hey, it's working great! It's amazing how much faster your computer gets when you quintuple the memory.
Speaking of Macs, I ordered Office 2008 this afternoon. We get it through work for twenty bucks, so I couldn't resist. I recently got iWork, which I like very much (although I must admit I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around its paradigm), and the latest Beta of Open Office works quite well on a Mac, but there are times when you would like to have Office. Unfortunately.
I also installed Office 2007 on my laptop today. I don't hate it yet, but I haven't really used it much so far. I'm sure it won't grow on me.
Today's Morrowlife controversy: Does this look like a good retirement home?
Financial Juggernaut update: I'm up to $7.29! At this rate, I'll be able to afford that retirement home Real Soon Now.
See you tomorrow.

This picture has been featured before, I'm afraid...
No. It does NOT look like a good retirement home. More like a good tool shed, if it had a bigger door.
Oh, there we go, I fixed my issue of not using my Google account.
Oh my goodness. Talk about the need for Great Art getting desperate. Look at this.
Also, the memory increase was only 2.5 times the previous amount. It's still huge. I currently have eight applications open and feel absolutely no slowdown - something completely impossible previously.
As far as the retirement home, sounds good as long as it lasts longer that the goofy trailer we have now.
Darnit, Mark. You beat me to it - but only because I couldn't get OpenID to work for a minute there.
Perhaps the Odd and Happy Buddhas are different, but identical, twins.
