The "Mojave Experiment"
I’ll admit, I’m a complete Mac person. I swear by my 5 year old Powerbook and can’t wait to finally upgrade when (if?) this one kicks it. That being said, I’ve appreciated the ad campaigns Apple has run mocking Windows Vista. Here’s the twist - Vista struck back. And it’s brilliant.

Great article in today’s New York Times.
WatchWhen you’re from the country (yes, there’s country in Jersey) and your parents are buddies with the police chief, you can get away with setting off illegalinmoststates-fireworks over your fields. Nothing says “Happy 4th!” like my dad almost not making it out of the field while setting off fireworks extreme enough to make the dog… well… let’s ignore that...

I think I could spend hours (seriously) on this site without getting bored.
