No, not a nasty sexy euphemism, we started some work in the back of the house in preparation for a mini-machine that Firefly will be getting in. A friend of ours who is a landscaper came by and basically wandered through the yard saying “that’s gone, gone, out of there, get that stuff out, gone, […]

This is pretty cool….. Serial No. 3817131 is a site by a photographer who wanted to portray the life of young girls in their manditory term in the Israeli army. When I first got to the site I didn’t know what the heck it was, then I went through the pics and was very impressed,

Well, other than price that is. If you get an intel based Macbook you can download a nifty little utility from Apple called Boot Camp which allows you to set up a dual boot of windows xp / vista and linux. Apparently games play nice and fast as well…. So now you have the sexyness
