Mondays are fun

Well, Today I was in a meeting at a client from 10:30 to about 1. I ahve a conference call tonight at 8, so once again, its another long day. Read some interesting bits of news: * **[iPod Halloween Costume](http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/31/2248203)** - Seems someone from my University ([Univ. of Michigan](http://www.umich.edu)) kind of screwed the [EECS Department](http://www.eecs.umich.edu) webserver(s) due to the [Slashdot](http://www.slashdot.org) effect. Heh… Jee, I think I’ve seen that [guy](http://www.engadget.com/entry/3238236478279992/) before… * **More iPod fun** [Engadget](http://www.engadget.com/entry/8818248724858804/) has an interesting bit about a laser add-on for the iPod. There could be a market for this - I know my Parent’s dog goes nuts with these things. Was looking at buying a new computer this past weekend. Boy, am I behind! Socket 939, Socket 754. Whatever happened to Slot 1 and Socket A??? Need to do a bit more research. And when did ATI become a viable alternative to nVidia?! aiya And finally, I think I have settled on getting this [Canon](http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/s410.html). Or maybe the 5 megapixel model… Guess it depends what kind of mood I am in while at the shop.
