The Moldy Potato

Had a much needed quiet weekend. I spent some time decompressing from a somewhat stressful week and I’m almost relaxed enough to get ready and start the weekend. Oh wait, too bad tomorow’s Monday.
Last night, Liz and I went on a ‘date night’ over to Northlake Tavern and had some unhealthy, yet incredibly satisfying pizza. Afterwards, we headed over to University Village where I checked out the mini at the Apple store - boy that thing is small. Once again I find myself starting to lean towards picking one up - even if it’s just for some "research" and video editing.
Today was pretty light just running some errands where we bumped into KC, David and Jared at Toys R Us - we were buying gates for the stairs. Later on we took Tyler swimming, and I ended the day with discovering mold inside a potato (with no visable problems on the outside) that I had made with dinner. Wierd.
Bummer - I’m a bit surprised no one responded with a movie trailer RSS feed. I’ll have to keep on searching.

Im probably going to get a Mac Mini for video editing. But dont ya think it would be a good idea to wait till Tiger is released on it, so you wont have to pay for the upgrade?

Yeah, I’m thinking about waiting aswell - would be nice to not have to pay for the upgrade. I’m wondering if there will be a “free upgrade if you bought it within the last x months”

Do not purchase the MAC Mini!
You can emulate Mac OS X on your Windows PC.
see the article here - http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/01/18/PearPC.html
I tried it this weekend and it works!
Mac OSX(10.3) = $140 w/ tax
Mac Mini = $500+
Savings - $360+ (MORE than enough to get Tiger when it’s released!!!)

I’ve been using Pear PC since May ( http://www.furrygoat.com/2004/05/pearpc_osx_on_w.html ).
While its good to play around with the UI, etc., I’d hardly call it a replacement for an actual Mac.
