I’ve posted the Barco for sale on Cragslist. With any luck, I’ll soon have a few extra square feet in my bedroom.

Glancing over my site this evening, I noticed that a good portion of my posts use exclamatory punctuation in the title. This led me over to Wikipedia, since I was curious as to whether it’s considered a “mark” or a “point”. All trivialities aside, I did manage to learn two things:

1. I’m really a woman, given my predilection for the things.
2. There’s something called the interrobang, my new favorite punctuation mark‽

If anyone can manage to find a key combination for producing the interrobang on a Mac, I’ll be forever indebted. Until then, I’ll just have to keep using the Special Characters palette.

That is all.

My memory arrived this evening. Installed easily, working perfectly!

Here you can see the new RAM showing up in About This Mac:

And here you can see (most of ) its presence in Activity Monitor:

As expected, I’m only able to use 3 of the 4 GB installed, due to mapping limitations in Intel’s chipsets. But I’m okay with that. I still get to use more than the official limit of 2GB without sacrificing video speed.

Just as I was getting ready for bed last night, I noticed something odd right next to my pillow. I flipped on the lights to find this little guy punching the air:

More mantis!

It seems that Dr. Phillips over at Science@NASA was feeling particularly inspired by the upcoming lunar eclipse.

A breeze touches the back of your neck, and you turn to see a pale full Moon rising into the night. Hmmm. The Moon could use a dash more color. You reach out, grab a handful of sunset, and drape the Moon with phantasmic light. Much better.

Filling up with gas earned me four whole dollars this evening. Someone dropped their cash on the ground by the gas pump, and it is now mine.

I decided earlier this week to take it upon myself to change the oil in my car myself. This is not something I normally do, primarily because it is worth the $10 overhead not to do it myself. (more…)
