Raiders of the Lost Blog

Well, I’ve been resisting and resisting for a while the iPod. I already have a mp3 player, the Nomad Jukebox, and I thought I didn’t need an iPod. But it’s sweet siren song kept calling to me, and I finally had to blow what little I had saved in checking and get one.

Man they’re cool! Tiny, and they also act as a firewire drive. I already have mine setup with a bootable OS 9 partition so I can run DiskWarrior from it. Pretty spiffy to have your mp3 player also be an emergency boot disk!

I finally finished watching the Trigun series. Pretty abrupt ending, kind of like a Neal Stephenson novel. Neal’s got a way of building up and up for a huge ending, then ending the book in a paragraph or two.

Today I get to try Metro North for the first time. It’s a train line running from Grand Central Station up through northern New York. I’m off to visit a girl in Westchester. For those of us living in New York City everything north of Harlem is considered Upstate New York. Crazy, since 95% of the state is up there.
