<p><a href='http://www.mysql.com/products/administrator/index.html'>mysql administrator</a> looks pretty useful. unfortunately they say it will only be available on windows and linux, initially. not for <a href='http://apple.com/macosx'>os x</a>. i guess i could use it with <a href='http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/'>x11</a>.</p>

<p><a href='http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,61982,00.html'>wired</a>: <i>&#8216;I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and &#8216;civil unions,&#8217;&#8217; was being <b>defeated by a 2-1 ratio</b>.</i>

hopefully these results can still be used by the american family association.

<p>the state of the union is about to begin. it is sad to think that in one year from today george bush won&#8217;t be our president anymore. oh wait, i mean, that is when the real party will begin.

i wonder what lies he will tell us tonight.

<p>all morning i have been battling with a stuck cd. it just wouldn&#8217;t come out of the drive. i tried all sorts of command line things, open firmware things, hold this key that key and press the mouse things, and finally a little paperclip did the trick.</p>

<p>i just learned that it is possible to <a href='http://www.powerpage.org/cgi-bin/WebObjects/powerpage.woa/wa/story?newsID=11709'>send an SMS message</a> from <a href='http://apple.com/ichat'>ichat</a>. someone on this site says you can do it from <a href='http://aol.com'>aol</a>, too, but i am not sure about that.

this means that you could send me an SMS message on my cell phone by sending a message to +1(then my phone number). i tried it and it works. it is pretty cool.

<p>recently i got <a href='http://rljart.com'>rachel</a> to switch her browser from an inferior, out-of-date program to the brand new <a href='http://apple.com/safari'>safari</a> browser by <a href='http://apple.com'>apple</a>. it was really the right choice since her old browser was not getting updated by the <a href='http://microsoft.com'>maker</a>. her switching got me thinking about my browser choice too. i have been using <a href='http://mozilla.org/camino'>camino</a> for about the last 8 months and i have liked it very much. i like being able to set my own keywords which allows for faster browsing to my most frequented sites and i like that it is a <a href='http://mozilla.org'>mozilla</a> browser, which means it conforms to <a href='http:w3.org'>w3</a> web standards. it does, however, have a few flaws. it crashes ( i am not complaining, i know it is still in beta ) more often than i would like.

so, i am also, very slowly making the switch to safari, but i am quite sure that when camino stable release version 1.0 comes out, i will switch right back.
