There's a new humorous Mac G5 commercial on TV that shows a man getting forcibly blown out of his house, supposedly because the G5 is so powerful/fast. And what did my wife notice about this commercial? That there's a GE Advantium in the kitchen. [sigh]

_Fight Club_ is a really good movie. So is _Apollo 13_, (which was on TV last night, and I have the DVD of it). It's the official "It's Cool To Be An Engineer" movie.

There's nothing like rollerblading on brand new wheels and bearings. "Smooooooth" is perhaps the best way to describe it. You slither over the street and slip around corners. "Whoosh", to say the least. It's always incredible going for the first blade after having run old wheels/bearings into the ground -- the difference is astronomical. You can corner like nobody's business, at speeds that were totally impossible on your previous wheels/bearings. You don't blade. You glide. You glide really, really fast. It rocks.
