I'd like to note that you can also use hot corners. Hot corners trigger Expose commands when you touch a corner of your screen with your cursor. Personally, I love them.

I have my hot corners set thusly:

1) Top-Left: View all Windows
2) Top-Right: View the Desktop
3) Bottom-Right: View Dashboard
4) Bottom-Left + Control: View all Windows of the Current Application

iGTD probably needs a Leopard patch.

For clarity, the $20 price tag for the iPod Touch upgrade is for existing owners only. New iPod Touches will ship with it for free. The popular opinion has it pegged as an accounting thing.

Re: 10 Hours later and I think I have a pretty negative opinion about macworld.

Here are my thoughts for contrast:

1) Time Capsule: Great

2) iPhone Updates: Great, copy/paste still needed

3) Touch Updates: Keep in mind, I own a touch. I think $20 is a fair asking price for an optional update. If you want to keep your touch as it was when you bought it, no problem. However, if you want to pay a nominal fee for five applications that weren't available to you before, you now have the option.

4) Movie Rentals: Great. I probably won't use it, but I'm sure a lot of people will.

5) Macbook Air: The perfect laptop for people who travel. One of the main reasons I bought my touch is for its portable web browser. I don't want to haul around a laptop everywhere I go, but the Air certainly is enticing. It really is a great writing and web surfing machine.

6) AppleTV 2.0 is a huge upgrade. Being about to buy and manage all of your content on a set-top box is a big thing.

You have ruined that sound for me. Now when I turn my volume up, I will think of chickens.

Brilliant radio. That's going on my highlight reel.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Also, that is the best conclusion in the history of the written word.

Well... that sucks...

As a fellow job seeker, I wish you all the best.

You guys called the AT-AT an "at at." It is "eh tee eh tee," folks. I'm such a nerd. Also, I dug having Veronica on the show.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but SNL already did the "Welcome Back, Potter" thing.

Every public schooler in Delaware that I have ever met either took a school bus or was driven by a parent. Most public transportation here is pretty weak.

I'd also like to mention that in New Jersey, the vast majority of school buses that I have seen are "Short buses." I found that to be super weird.

"The Big Bang Theory" is perhaps the worst sitcom I have ever had the misfortune to experience. It is nothing but 22 minutes of beating you over the head with the stereotypes that nerds are socially awkward, and attractive women are practically brain dead. It is nothing but a loosely formed lump of non sequitur after non sequitur.

"Nerds sure are awkward, am I right?"
"Boy, this woman doesn't understand any of the super-cool math jargon we use."
"We're accomplished adults, but we're beat up by other adults because we're nerds. That sucks."

It makes me want to vomit a little.

As a Terminator nerd, I have to profess my affection for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Each episode has progressed the story along really well. I won't spoil anything, but episode five introduces a really interesting story arc.

If you like the Terminator mythology, I highly suggest checking out the first five episodes.

Great minds think alike. Last year, I commissioned a drawing of a Zombie Dinosaur from Len Peralta's Monster by Mail website. The Zombie Dinosaur is framed, and hung in my dining room along with the Ninja Monster I bought from Len.

Here is what it looks like: http://flickr.com/photos/jawboneradio/1473727655/

You know who else had a podcast in which two people discuss social issues? The Nazis. ;)

Really good episode, guys.

That was a fantastic episode. Impassioned debate makes for great content.
