Weirdness near SFO

I live a few miles northwest of SFO.

Usually planes fly over my apartment going northwest (ie: takeoff)... but since I got home, I've been seeing a LOT of planes flying southeast (landing) over the same flight path... and like every 2 minutes... and lower than normal.

What's going on? Something is going on.

Sign the Mac OS X Anti Metadata Petition

Mac OS X Anti Metadata Petition

If you like Mac OS X, sign this petition. If you'd rather live in a twisted, incompatible with the rest of the world OS 9 fantasy forever, sign the other petition linked to from the above petition.

I vote for the original TN2034.. no more type/creator. No more resource forks. Both are unnecessary and troublesome... and Mac OS X already has superior alternatives.

Weblog page readers: In case you haven't already noticed, the Adolfcroft thread has 72 respones so far. I'm pretty sure this is a record for this site. ;-)

PI on ABC

Why is Politically Incorrect on at midnight? It's not like it's racy or full of vulgarities... it's the only intelligent show on network television (that I know of), it should be on during prime time.

Oh, wait. Conan O'Brien's show is pretty damn cool too. I wish I didn't have to stay up so late to watch them.

By the way... ;-)

...you can't tell me you hadn't noticed youself...
