In case you missed the announcement, my very own college Roomater Eileen has launched her very own weblog. I just wish she was still waitressing; the stories from that were comedy gold, people!

ars technica reviews Apple’s new Mighty Mouse. Can I just say that I’m blown away that they’re using that name? (Is Mighty Mouse out of copyright? Have they bought the rights?) Oh, and once the Bluetooth version is out, this thing is definitely going on my Christmas list…
