It's up to 2GB now. I wouldn't have picked 2GB, but I didn't want to upgrade to 1GB only to have to upgrade again. With the 2 SODIMM slots, that would mean throwing away perfectly good memory. Besides, 2GB wasn't that expensive.

For those of you who don't know, FrontRow is the media app made by Apple that ships free with new Macs. One of the great features of FrontRow is that it works with shared media. All of the media can be stored on a server on you can stream the content to FrontRow. I definitely agree with Hoopes that there should be some sort of TiVo capability built into a mini. I would definitely buy one to hook up to my TV.

For those of you who didn't know, the keyboard shortcut for FrontRow is Cmd-Esc. (Some of us don't want to travel with the remote)

Germany defeated Costa Rica 4-2. It was a great game, even if the German defense didn't play well. The offsides trap isn't the answer to everything.

The goal by Torsten Frings was amazing.

Tonight, I called Ryan, one of my college friends and caught up. Somewhat random, but totally worth doing. You know people are worth talking to when they recognize your voice -- after not talking in months. Now, time to play the game of remember the time when Ryan...

I think someone mentioned that pink and green didn't pair well. Looking at these flowers, that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's not that my interest in blogging in waning.

I think this photo summarizes how things have been going for me. Everything is coming a bit too fast to process while my life is about to take slight curve.
