Holy crap the new Apple laptops (The Apple Store (U.S.) - MacBook Pro) look cool. I’m usually not one to drool over technology, but I’ve really become attached to my powerbook, my only complaint being that it’s way slow compared to what I could get with a PC. Seems like apple has solved that particular problem.
If somebody wants to buy me one, please feel free.
NPR is carrying live audio of the Alito confirmation hearings. This is my favorite way to listen to this sort of thing because aside from trying (and often failing, humorously) to sneak in “this is NPR” in moments of silence, they shut the hell up and let you listen to the hearings. I’m a huge fan of skipping the talking heads and just listening to the hearings on my own, and this is a fine way to do as much.
Supreme Court nomination hearings are quality entertainment. In the Roberts hearings, the now Chief Justice said dozens and dozens and dozens of times that he wouldn’t make promises about how he would rule, yet senators from both sides of the aisle kept asking him to do as much. Priceless! There’s so much transparent grandstanding and cheap shots a-plenty. You can’t write this sort of stuff. Check it out while you can.
Ever have one of those days when there’s a ton of traffic coming in to work and you start to get angry about it, but then you relize what likely caused the traffic and you feel a bit guilty about being angry? Yeah. Ug. Traffic isn’t as bad as getting hit by a train.
