Got a new G5, a 15" PowerBook and a 12" PowerBook. I am setting them up and moving files around. Wish I got one of these. I've maxed out my old 12" PowerBook and it's starting to make strange noises.

Woke up this morning and found my roommate's hiptop sitting all alone losing it's battery. I felt really bad (for the hiptop, not the roommate) and couldn't help getting my charger out of my room and plugging it into his. Now, as I drive into work, I wonder if he may have intentionally wanted the battery to drain: I think he has a more specific method to charging his battery. I hope I did the right thing.

Down in Chicago with hN/skh bloggers Divinity and Chris Falco. Master poker blogger just owned us twice. At least we got to play him before he's on the Travel Channel and too busy to give us the time of day. =) Bananachunks should be proud that the Sparks were in full force. Now it's 3:12am... time to sleep.

I ordered a Brill Luxus 38 online last weekend and it showed up today. I took the afternoon off to set it up and do my lawn for the first time this year.

Initially I was very surprised by the small box until I remembered the cutting width is only 38cm. The instructions for putting it together were not completely clear. It was very easy to figure out anyway and it only took me about 10 minutes to get it ready to cut.

I thought it might be a pain to have a human powered and environmentally friendly lawn mower, but it's actually quite fun. It's also so quiet that I could mow at 1am and my neighbours won't think anything of it -- unless they saw me.

Very light and easy to push. In some ways it felt like I was vacuuming my yard. Finishing all the grass took a lot less time than I would have guessed.

On the downside, it does not like any stray branches, wood chips or other foreign objects at all, not even little ones. Next time I just have to rake beforehand. It also does not stand up by itself unless you take the time to make it balanced and hope a wind gust doesn't blow through.

My initial cut I did at 45mm because as my roommate described, it was "shaggy." Next time I think I will bring it down to 30mm.
