Dale Earnhardt Jr won his first race this season in front of the fans in Richmond, VA. What is even more impressive, is that he is courteous on the track. At one point, he was trying to pass Kevin Harvick and got into him a little too much. He backed off and regrouped only to pass him a few laps later. A competitor that knows when to push it and when not to.

I have looked a couple of times at the new Intel Macs at the local Apple Store. Last night I got a little demo of one while at the local ruby brigade. The power adapter is a great little feature that I had overlooked. I don't know how many times I shift my Powerbook and if the plug shifts slightly, I am running off the battery. A power cord with the magnet appears to be a great idea.

Next, I got to see Parallels in action. It is very cool. I don't use Windows much (mainly for testing that other browser), but it would be handy just to switch over to it. The idea of running Linux on it also sounds appealing. Just the fact that there is no emulation makes it so much faster.

Maybe if I don't drive for a month, I can save enough money to purchase one.

It's no secret that I don't enjoy cleaning house and in fact will do my best to avoid the task whenever possible. Having just cleaned vigorously prior to Richard's mom and dad's visit last weekend the place doesn't look too bad. Maybe I am hoping to keep it that way or maybe I hit my head on something but for whatever reason I decided to do some cleaning today. I told Reia we were going to vacuum but then I remembered that you are supposed to dust first. When I got out the duster Reia said "Oooh. We have people coming over." She was very confused when I said that we weren't expecting any company. Guess that tells you what it takes to get me to clean.
