Some time ago I wrote about how my shiny new MacBookPro crashes whenever I plug in an external monitor. Turns out, Apple displays don't make it crash.
I wrote a bug about it, and Apple responded well. They gave me a tool to use to record information about the monitor.
Interestingly, I no longer have privileges to read or append to the bug I originated, and neither does my friend at Apple. I finally wrote a new bug referencing the old one to try to get some info, but it's been four months (and a few updates) without a fix.
Also, I'm on my third MBP since then, and it still crashes, so I'm fairly certain it wasn't a hardware defect (but it could be a hardware design flaw).

NBC (USA, Sci Fi), your so-called "seasons" of The Dead Zone, The 4400 and Stargate (both series) are a joke. 10 episodes? 12? 13? Cheap bastards. Those are good shows, they deserve to run for a consecutive 22 (or more) episodes.
Advertising and ratings suck.
You know what else sucks? "Pro" wrestling. That crap doesn't belong on the Sci Fi channel. Put it on the channels that the trailer trash who watch that shit watch. Fox, or QVC. Fuck you.

I've added a clickable ad for the Tesla Motors electric sports car. I'm not getting any money for doing this, but I believe very strongly in this thing. It's incredibly fast, beautiful and has excellent range for a high-performance electric car. If I had $85,000 to spend, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

There are some cool things coming in Leopard (Apple's newest version of OS X). I recommend you take the time to watch the Keynote Address. As usual, there's a bunch of eye candy/fluff in Leopard, and it'll be interesting to see if they fix any of the numerous bugs that have been around since day one.

Mail

So, they've added a bunch of wizzy stuff in Mail that I could care less about. The ToDo thing might be cool; we'll see. I really want to know if they fixed the URL-splitting bug. My insider friend tells me that bug is fixed in Leopard, but it wasn't mentioned in the keynote (had it been, it would've received the loudest applause).

There's tons more cool shit. Watch the video.

Thanks to the MIT Club of Northern California, and my alumnus friend Mike, and through the gracious generosity of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, I was able to take a tour of the deep-sea research vessel Atlantis and the deep-sea submersible Alvin. This was awesome. There is so much cool work done on board the ship, just to support the research operations, I submitted my resume to one of the scientists. There's actually a surprising amount of EE work to be done, especially on the ROVs.
I've posted a bunch of pictures of the tour for your viewing pleasure. Just click the image below:

On a side note: I saw Tony Blair. Mostly I just saw his motorcade. Part of the tour included a lunch at the Delancey Street Restaurant beforehand. We were supposed to get there at 11 am, but had to wait for Mr. Blair to finish his brunch inside. There were cops and secret service (or the British equivalent) at every entrance up and down the street around the restaurant. We had just thought it was extra security for that morning's marathon, but looking back on it, the guys in the suits exuded far too much confidence to be rent-a-cops.
Interestingly, an ambulance, with sirens blaring, had to wait for the motorcade to pass before it could continue down Embarcadero.
