Holy crap. The rumors were true! Apple is switching to Intel chips. Even the best Mac pundits got that one wrong. Man, I haven’t even gotten my new replacement G5 yet, and it’s already obselete! Friggin’ great.

I just found a great new Sydney food blog: Grab Your Fork. And check it out, they review Tetsuya’s… with pictures! The Snook and I have plans to finally pay a visit to Tetsuya-san this year with Amy and Rob. I didn’t know the degustation included FOUR dessert courses. Sign me up!

DietBlog: As the time for the meeting drew closer tonight, I started mentally preparing myself for my first week of weight gain. I mean, it was a given. I haven’t been exercising; I haven’t been tracking my Points; and I’ve been eating my face off. (For the record, the deep-fried camembert at Una’s is the…

I haven’t been following the Michael Jackson trial that closely, but how can the defense team make the argument that the boy’s family are out for money when this went to a criminal trial? If they wanted to cash out, wouldn’t they have just threatened him and taken the multi-million dollar payout like the last…

What I wouldn’t give to see Obi-Wan singing “Luck Be a Lady”… *sigh*

I could not agree more with Graham about the stupidity of the “Corby Martyrs’ Bridgade” (TM Graham), and I take back some of the good things I said about Australians’ attitudes towards Indonesians last January. One drug-smuggling conviction and the yobbos are back to hating them again. We didn’t even get anyone from the Red…
