We forgot the Wow

Microsoft's Wow site wants you to search for Wow! Wow!

Unfortunately, if you take them literally nothing comes up. Wow indeed.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination...

Every episode of the Twilight Zone (and a bunch of other shows).

Please cancel the rest of my life, I have to catch up on some TV.

Check out these neat metal animal sculptures...

Squirming little persons

Hey, whatdayaknow I'm an uncle. Older brother Ben and his wife Sava had a daughter, Besa on 1/14 or so and little brother Ewan gave birth to Leo with a lot of help from his wife Leya on 1/20, a day before my birthday. Phew. They're cute and amazing and I'm proud to announce that I successfully resisted the urge to speak in gibberish around them or otherwise act like an idiot.

Fire!

Elaine and I have been poking around the amazingly silly National Symbols Program web site after finding out that there's a new controversy around Woodsy Owl's new post-diet persona.

Look what she found:

MacWorld 2007 Announcement #4

Anticipation is building up around Apple's big MacWorld event this coming Monday. After briefly slipping and naming the software products that will be released, Amazon.com renamed the place holder pages "Apple MacWorld Announcement" numbers 1 through 4. I wasn't sure I was going to like it until I read the user reviews for Apple MacWorld 2007 Announcement #4:

A nice-looking product but not nearly as reliable as Macworld 2007 Announcement #2. Mine crashed on startup, making it necessary to revert to the previous version. Maybe Apple will iron out the bugs in Announcement #5.

Once more, Apple has done it again! Announcement #4 is the best version of it I have used. Not only was it easy to install (insert disc and click on the installer icon) but the installation was fairly faster compared to previous versions. Once installed Announcement #4 was better than I expected. The whole thing seems snappier and more intuitive. I highly recommend it to anyone using a Mac.

Apple once again are the kings interface of design and ease of use. Apple MacWorld 2007 Announcement #4 was ridiculously easy to set up and getting started with. I got one, my two kids got one each and my wife is even thinking about getting one. The only problem I've had so far is that a piece of plastic on the backside was broken for me. I don't know how that happened, but I turned it in at one of their Apple retail stores and they fixed it for me pretty quick.

I've been using Apple MacWorld 2007 Announcement #4 for almost no time, and I can safely say it's the best #4 I've ever experienced. I thought #3 was good, but this is ridiculous.
