Another weekend and another update. But this time a 3-day weekend! I'm writing this on Kara's new laptop. It's technically not new, but I formatted the hard drive and put a fresh copy of XP on it. Her Mom donated it to us since Kara's old laptop's screen died. I always like the feeling of a fresh laptop without any random programs clogging things up. I don't even want to know how much money Best Buy would charge to do that. The hardest part was setting up iTunes actually. I don't understand how it's possible to even make it so complicated to play a song.
It's story's like this case of entrenched corporate sexism that makes me realize just how further we still have to go. But at least it's not as bad as it was in these ads.
Remember way back when Palin's email account was "hacked"? The Telegraph has a good piece explaining the whole story and how Palin milked it for all it's worth. But it goes to show how those innocent sounding "Forgot password" questions can really backfire on you. I actually found that out the hard way during my Junior year of high school, and ever since then I just fill out the questions with it's own special password that has nothing to do with the name of my high school (which is entirely trivial to find out in the age of Google, blogs, and Facebook).
Hope everyone has a good Memorial Day and thanks for our troops for everything they do for us!
