I’m in the process of installing Final Cut Studio 2 on my Mac Pro. As expected, the packaging is very slick and expensive-looking. And when I opened the box, I let out a small geeky giggle upon the sight of nine installation DVDs.

All this so I can edit videos of me wearing chef pants.

If you’re trying to send non-AT&T email on AT&T DSL and you’re getting error messages, contact customer support and ask them to open port 25. That is all.

I just saw Untraceable.

• Okay, so you’re her mother, and she’s your daughter. Thanks for spelling it out; I wouldn’t have picked up on that.
• Surprisingly not bad with technical concepts in some parts. At other times, well…
• The commercials for placement of Capital One, OnStar, Microsoft, and whatever car she was driving were very subtle. I mean they didn’t interrupt the movie at all…
• If you just got the major American ISPs to block requests for a domain…
• The ending? With the badge? I dunno…

Alright, I’m off to go find a new window for my car…

Last night, between the hours of 9 PM and 7 AM, my passenger window was smashed and my brand-new GPS, which I received as a gift, was stolen.

It happens. According to the officer who took the report, it happens here all the time. I later heard from a coworker that they specifically target nice areas where people park outside and are likely to have a GPS. I’m glad I live in a “nice” area. So whatever, I have insurance, hopefully everything will be covered.

Someone else will fix the window, and a GPS is replaced with cash, so I thought the worst part for was going to be cleaning up the glass. It was pretty bad, and I’m still not finished. But it wasn’t the worst part.

You see, every Friday, they serve donuts at work. Delicious donuts, including a raised donut with chocolate frosting. This is my favorite kind of donut. Let’s call it a Wyszonut. Of all the great perks*, the free Wyszonut is the one I crave the most. Unfortunately, other people also like the Wyszonut. Last week, by the time I got in, all of the Wyszonuts were gone, and it bothered me for the rest of the day. I even considered going out and buying donuts at lunch. This morning, I was on track to beat the rush and get my Wyszonut. I opened the door of my apartment ant 7:10. Considering I routinely do this over two (and sometimes three) hours later, I was quite impressed with myself. But then there was the whole broken window delay, and I got in at about 9:10. All of the Wyszonuts were gone. That was the worst part.

Oh, and check out this picture:

*Disclaimer.

Update: The estimate for the window was below my deductible, and the GPS is a “personal item” not covered by my policy. This is going to be all out-of-pocket for me. Good thing I just spent all that money on a Mac Pro.
