Seriously trivial thoughts
Yes, I drank the Kool Aid this morning…about 2:30am. I had my Touch next to my bed with the alarm set to a strategic time and the Apple store page ready for quick reloading. It was about 1am, i think, when the page loaded and i knew it was time to get up and join …
A few days ago I posted my intention of dumping Nokia in favor of the new iPhone 4. Nothing has changed. However, Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 4 details has stirred up much debate and comparison to the upcoming Nokia N8.

After upgrading to Office 2007, I have been bugged *every* time I closed the last worksheet using the X (close) button in the top-right corner.
