Painful is ripping an Anne Murray CD with iTunes at 2x speed on my mom’s 10-year old PC for her iPod Touch. Need to get her a new PC.

Finished The Hunger Games. Perhaps the parachute drops were made by mini-UAVs. Short, unsparing moments of violence, but I’ll let A read it.

Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate will include a free Windows XP virtual machine – aka Windows XP Mode. Nice for those with legacy apps.

Tazo China Green Tips has a nice light flavor with no bitterness. English breakfast teas have been too strong for me lately.

Used Shark Bite ball joint valve & slip fit piece to fix leaky joint on main copper inlet in to the house. Nice alternative to soldering.

Foxconn making 10.6-inch Apple tablet device for release 1st quarter of 2010. More App Store opportunity. http://tinyurl.com/ycl5v9y

Replaced 10-year old XTR right shifter pod with a Shimano LX M580. Clicks are softer, but shifting is still smooth. Glad it’s still 9spd.

Flew the MS Composit Boom with the Spektrum DX7 on the morning of 10/3/2009. I’ll try a long range test with the Radian next time.
