Cool Tool: IngenuiTEA Teapot →
I’ve since moved on to more traditional teaware, but I love my IngenuiTEA.  It’s what got me started on my loose tea addiction.  I think I’ll go make more now…

OS X Leopard Delayed →
Dang it…I was going to wait until June to pick up my first Mac(Book) so that I didn’t have to pay for an upgrade right away.  So do I wait for Leopard in October, or get used to Tiger for a few months first?  Decisions, decisions…

Trump Plaza dealers vote to join United Auto... →
Apparently the UAW isn’t satisfied with ruining the auto industry, so they decided to diversify. I guess it’s a smart idea…when a parasite kills its host it has to find another before it starves.
