Anyone have any ideas what I should queue up in iTunes next? I listen to everything except for country and rap.

Haha just kidding, everyone says that.

Newest member of the family

Meet Chaco the newest member of the family. It's the new Mac mini with an Intel Core Duo processor. I like the remote, it's a nice touch. There are only six buttons on it, as per typical Apple design principles, but to skip through songs in iTunes or to play a DVD you really don't need any more than that. I don't like the fact that most vendors aren't shipping native Intel or Mac OS X Universal binaries yet. The emulation for PowerPC is quite good, I've had not problem at all running older PowerPC binaries, but it is super slow. The Mozilla Foundation isn't shipping universal binaries of Firefox or Thunderbird yet, (wtf?) and I don't like Camino, so I spent a few hours last night compiling Firefox as an native Intel binary. I can forget about running Photoshop on it though. Until they start selling more powerful macs with Intel and Adobe releases a native Intel version I will be utilizing my G5 a great deal.

Vegemite Sandwich

iTunes just picked Down Under for me to listen to. I am no longer qualified to be in charge of choosing the music that I listen to, because if I did I would listen to Bloody Tears or Leaving Town over and over again. Anyway, my point is actually that I had a nasty headache after coming home from work today. I ate a Vegemite sandwich and had a nap. I am now feeling much better. I know all you Yanks (as Australians incorrectly refer to all Americans, I apologize on behalf of all Australians; especially to the Southerners in the audience) do not have an appreciation for the stuff, but it does wonders for me when I'm not feeling well.
