Nostalgia
In my cleaning frenzy, I came across an old photo cube...you know, one of those plastic things that you stuck photos on five sides. Anyway one of the photos was this (excuse the blurriness, a scanner is still something I don't possess so this is an iPhone pic of the...
Chatty
Apparently I'm feeling bloggy. So things that aren't so cranky making: I have actually done over half the cleaning and all the shopping except for a cake (tomorrow morning's task) and ice (has to wait until party time). The new Genius feature on iTunes actually does...

Dvorak update

One of my fellow Tassie travellers not only has a very covetable MacBook Air (pretty!) but she also types using the Dvorak keyboard layout. As someone who types a lot for work and obviously a lot writing and does get hand and wrist pain despite using an ergonomic...
