Lisa Kudrow is Fiona Wallace, a ‘web therapist’. She figures that 47 or the 50 minute sessions are mainly talk about nothing important, so 3 minutes is all you need. This is some great satire.

If I ever build a counseling office, I’m going to install one of these giant wall clocks:
Do you think it’d be over the top (no pun intended)?

I’ve been adding some blogs to my daily reading list lately, and thought I’d share some of them.
. Creativityist. Explores the art of creating. A creativityist is one who practices creativity. In this blog you will find some techniques, and maybe some inspiration. But mostly, it’s journeying together to meet the artist in each of us.
. MindHacks. A blog based on a book that explores what’s going on inside your brain.
. Furious Seasons. A blog about the state of mental health care in America. I found this blog through my good friend Karen. Interesting reads and takes on psychology, culture, and the sciences.
. 100 Words. I haven’t yet begun using this site/idea yet. It’s been a concept that I’ve considered for quite some time. Writing in daily doses to keep the creativity and exercise going for the brain. Perhaps I’ve not done this yet due to my overwhelming school schedule.
If you’re interested in reading about the Sabbath (apart from the Bible), here’s a great book:
“Man was not made for the Sabbath, the Sabbath was made for man”
There’s a great software bundle for the Mac being sold at MacHeist.com. For $49 you can get an image editor (like photoshop), password program (manage passwords, credit cards, online identities, etc), and much more. It’s a pretty nice bundle of applications.
My upgrade story involves a princess, some bicyclists (ok, a lot), and a leopard.
For some odd reason, my local Mac store was closed during the week for renovations and thus I couldn’t buy my copy of leopard there. I’m still dumbfounded that they’d close a Mac store (here in Seattle) during the week of a major product release….makes no sense to me. In any case, I was able to find a Mac store near the Univ of Washington campus that was having a launch party.
So just before bedtime for my daughter (enter the princess of the story, we decided to make the quick (15 minute) jaunt down to the Mac store to pick up a copy of leopard. Prior to arriving at the store, we got stuck in a traffic jam (which is not surprising as Seattle = Traffic) due to a bicycle rally (enter ’some bicyclists’ part of the story). These bikers were dressed up in their Halloween costumes and there must have been over 1,000 of them. So my princess and I sat in traffic as the bikers rode past us….screaming, yelling, and howling (it was a full moon).
Pulling into the Mac parking lot was fun…I’ve never really been an early adopter so I was a little giddy. We walked into the store and were greeted by music blaring, stuffed leopards littering the store, folks lined up, people everywhere…Got my copy of leopard (family pack) and was given 2 stuffed leopards (enter ‘leopard’ of the story….fooled ya, didn’t I), one for my princess the other for my son. Everyone wins!
Three hours later I’m playing with quick look, spaces, time machine, and all the other cool features. Apple knows how to make a splash, and they’ve done it again. My favorite feature is a toss up between Quick Look and the screen-sharing feature with ichat. My wife sometimes needs my help, and to be able to see her screen is a huge help to our marriage (no more “honey, do you see [enter trouble shooting tip here]”).
All that to say…I love Macs and the new OSX.

I was reading Reid’s Blog yesterday, and ran across this link:
Scam the scammers. It’s a lengthy read, but the gist is that a guy scams the spammer by leading the scammer to believe that he’s auditioning for a artists scholarship. The guy gets the scammer to carve things out of wood, which turn out to be fantastic carvings. Click above to read the whole dialogue (disclaimer: it’s a waste of time if you don’t enjoy internet lore…)
Well, my iBook crapped out on me last night. So I’m now sitting in front of a brand-new macbook. I mentioned the new macbooks in a previous post a few months ago.
I’m trying to get acquainted with the new screen size, as it’s a higher resolution than that of my 14″ iBook. So far, I’m a happy camper.
Hit me up on iChat to say hi: demoflauchy is my screen name.
Cheers
