Christmas Miracle
K, so I was told my Mac Mini would arrive on Christmas Eve ... via the US Postal Service.
Yeah, right.
The same US Postal Service that makes Canada Post look good.
So, there I am, at my Brother's house, waiting patiently for the box to arrive. It doesn't. Go figure. Instead, I decide to get wildly intoxicated. Ok, I was doing that anyway, but it was easier once I accepted my Mini wasn't showing up.
Soooo, Christmas Day, 11 am-ish, my nephew is opening one of his 16,394 presents. The doorbell rings and my sister-in-law answers. It is the US Postal Service, delivering a box. My box. My Mac Mini.
On Christmas freaking day!
Needless to say, Storm was a happy guy. I patiently (not!) waited through the rest of the festivities and excused myself as quickly as possible to rush back to my apartment and set it up. Pull it all out, set up the monitor, the wireless keyboard and mouse and fire it up. It doesn't recognize the keyboard. Perplexed, I surmise that the batteries in the keyboard, which are not old, are dead. No problem, I have tons of AAs.
They're AAAs.
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!H!!!!!!!

But I got batteries.
This little thing kicks ass!! It's hard to take it seriously though. It's no bigger than my external HD. The XBox can't stop laughing at it. And really, you should hear an XBox laugh. It's kind of a wheezy, throaty sound.
Leopard is very pretty.
When you're done playing with your new toy, you should install this and turn it into a media center. With it you can stream photos and video to your Xbox 360.
I have a bunch of brand spanking new Apple bluetooth keyboards that use AAs. I can ship you one of those! Or two!
I have a box of 10 but won't put them in a shared production enviroment.
Want me to ship them to you? You should get them by Christmas 2008.
