Happy Turkey day to everyone.
Early birthday present to myself…Day and Age, the new Killers album. $3.99 on Amazon. Can’t beat that with a stick.

Macbook me
Somebody please buy me a new macbook for my birthday. I’m turning 29. Please….you can all chip in if you want to. It doesn’t even have to be a pro (although that would be preferable).
Not sure I understand this aluminum thing though…yeah, machining something out of a solid block of aluminum produces, theoretically, a more solid, robust part with a better finish. But not really…and it can just as easily be machined from a cast part for about 1/10th the cost. (I could make a pretty sturdy house out of a giant block of aluminum too, but it would run me about 14 trillion dollars.) 13 machining processes for one part is a ton of waste from a manufacturing point of view. Not sure how they’re convincing the accounting department to pay for this (yes I do…it’s why the macbook is $1299 instead of $1099) , and I don’t know why they’re boasting about this…I think the folks at Toyota would be fired for even thinking about suggesting this. But on the other hand, if they are keeping the cost about the same, or only slightly higher, for a much better product I guess it’s reasonable. And I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look awesome. Check out the video if you haven’t already.

Cowardly politicians….but is there any other kind?
Nothing bothers me more about politicians -cough cough Joe Biden cough – (and people in general, but mostly politicians) than when they say “I don’t believe in (fill in the blank here – cough cough abortion cough), but I won’t support laws in favor of (blank – cough ending abortion cough) because I don’t want to force my views on others”. HOGWASH! I’m calling BS on such cowardice…grow a pair and stand up for what you believe in! Apologetic Gerry Matatics said it best: ”If I’m not legislating my morals on you, than I’m allowing you to legislate you morals on me.”
