Seth Dillingham: How-To Sponsor Me in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life

Seth is raising donations for his third straight relay. No doubt everyone has been touched in a personal way by someone that has suffered from cancer. I have. My grandpa died of lung cancer, and a cousin died of cancer at the age of 2, a few months before I was born... and that's just my family. :-(

I sent my contribution. Can you help Seth reach his sponsorship goal too? It takes about 30 seconds to log into PayPal and send a donation to corinne@macrobyte.net if you're set up already. But Seth can also accept contributions by credit card directly, check out the link above for details.

Today I had the honour and luck to take Cyan to her Kindergarten orientation. Since I'm normally working during weekdays, typically this would be something that Cheryl would do. But today Cheryl is working at an office in relief of someone on holidays, so I got to take her!

Honestly, if Cheryl wasn't working I think I would have tried to go anyway, because I wouldn't want to miss that for anything. Wow, Kindergarten, a sure sign I'm all grown up. :-)

It's too bad Cheryl didn't get to go though. :-(

If I was a Windows user today, I'd be very grumpy.

Apple's Music Store and iTunes 4 are what I've been waiting for for a few years now.

Apple should rename itself to The Experience. As in, Seamless. Everything just works. I installed iTunes 4 on both of my Macs. A while ago I had moved all of my music to the desktop because the PowerBook was out of disk space. But that's okay, as long as I'm within range of my WiFi router I can listen to my entire library! Like downstairs where the new home gym was installed. Like in the living room hooked up to our stereo (finally!), or in the back yard. Or front yard. Or on the roof. Probably at my neighbour's house. :-)

Unfortunately I don't live on Planet America, so I can't buy music yet. I can listen to free previews and be jealous (though not as jealous as a Windows user ;-)) but no buy, no mix, no burn, no share with my PowerBook or Cheryl's PowerBook. Wassup wi'dat? I have a US-bank credit card but the billing address is to Canada so I'm stymied. I'll see if I can change the mailing address go to an American address so I can get hooked up.

(Or, I'll just use yours, with your permission of course, and pay you back using PayPal until I can use my own. LOL! I'm sure you can't wait to send me your CC# ;-))

I figured for sure iTunes 4 would be a Cocoa app, but I don't see any .nib files in the app package wrapper, so I think it's still Carbon. Impressive results for a Carbon app! Maybe there's hope for the Finder yet!
