Look, if you’re on a Mac, and you do any sort of text editing (html, programming, whatever) and you’re not using Textmate, you SHOULD be. It’s worth the price, I promise. (And there’s a 30 day free trial anyway.) Just a friendly reminder. =-)

Best. Editor. Ever.
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Birdsong
Tuesday, April 25th, 2006OK, so I don’t have an unnatural ability to recognize natural bird sounds, but I did successfully recognize my first bird call the other weekend in the park, thanks to my Birding by Ear CDs! It was a White-throated Sparrow and it sounded pretty much exactly like the samples on the CDs. I’ve clearly got a long way to go, but it feels encouraging to know that I might have some potential at learning bird songs to help make me a better birder. I’m so old!
Thy Will Be Done
Monday, April 17th, 2006Ok, update: I ordered a new gaming box, and I should have it by the end of the month. I can’t wait to play Half-Life 2!
To keep me busy until then, because it’s Spring and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t ID all the bird calls I’m hearing in the park, I’ve ordered Birding by Ear and it’s companion More Birding by Ear, which I should have in two days thanks to Amazon. Yes, I’m soo many different kinds of nerd it’s crazy, I know.
Anyone hear a pin drop?
Thursday, April 6th, 2006It’s been so quiet here lately (thanks to me just being off doing other things and not feeling in much of a blogging mood), and I feel kinda bad for the four readers of this blog (are any of you left?).
Current news is that my bitchass 6 year old PC died last weekend and I’ve been obsessing all week over what I should do about it. Currently leaning toward (read ‘drooling over’) getting a whole custom system. I really want to be able to play some of the pretty games that I couldn’t play on my old box (HalfLife2, Farcry, Doom3, Age of Empires 3, WoW with all the settings turned up, etc). Maybe I’ll go buy it today… ;-)
