IMAP would let us use our regular desktop email clients to get messages from our Gmail accounts.

Groundlings

There are these creatures that live under my porch, and up until yesterday, they were quite friendly with me.

When I first noticed them, I thought that someone had dropped a sack of potatoes near the walkway to the front door. They were each about the size of a potato, with brown mottled skin, not unlike the textrue of a potato. They had very small eyes that were entirely pupil sunk into their noseless faces. Each had a pair of twig-like legs and arms, and some of them carried twigs sharpened into potato-people-sized spears. They seemed altogether shocked when I happened upon them.

Silent Alarm

I went out for lunch and shopping with my mom yesterday. We stopped at Best Buy in my quest to find a new amplifier for my computer speakers, which has still gone unresolved.

However, I did find a new DVD player for the family room, an updated version of our old DVD player, which I will move to the kid’s TV in the playroom. The new one is DivX Ultra, and actually plays some of the TV shows from the current season that I was having trouble with. It also has a USB port to play files directly from a USB keychain or hard drive. All that with HDMI upsampling to 1080i for under $100, and I was totally sold.
