After reading this lengthy review of Leopard, the latest update of Mac OS X, it doesn’t look like something I’ll be saving my pennies for. The sad truth is I have so little time to use my own computer that it doesn’t make sense to spend much money on it. You know you’re in a sad place as a Mac user when you sit down at your Mac to log in and you’re looking for the control-alt-delete keys. I have sunk so very low!
Yesterday was a football day. First was the sad sad defeat of Michigan at the hands of Ohio State, followed by the triumph of the Montana Grizzlies over the Montana State Bobcats. I’m really no great fan of football, but I have these observations on the games:
First, the Michigan defense was incredible, but when your offense can’t get more than half a dozen first downs there’s no way you’re going to win a football game. It could be that the Buckeyes defense was also just at the top of its game, and it did play well, but my admittedly novice impression was that the Michigan offense just was not in the game. It was sad.
Second, watching Montana football broadcast by a local tv station after watching Big 10 football broadcast by a national network is kind of sad. No matter how well the Montana teams played, the game paled in comparison to the whiz-bang professionalism and superior technology of the national broadcast. Even the color of the images you saw on the screen showed that the Montana broadcast was but a very pale shadow (literally) of its national counterpart.
Finally: You know it must be NaNoWriMo if I’m turning to football. How many ways can I find to procrastinate writing this piece of crap “novel”? [tags]mac, football, nanowrimo[/tags]
