I had no idea that Apple had their own Theme Song. After watching the video of it, I kinda wish I didn’t know it.

It’s a bit like a train wreck; you can’t look away, but you want to scrub the images from your memory afterwards.

Paul Dana crashed big time on Sunday. Not quite 31 years old.

From the video it looks like he lived his motto.

How morally bankrupt can you get. This organization calls itself South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families, and their main goal is to keep abortion legal in South Dakota. Is it just me, or how can someone claim to have a healthy family when they are willing to kill their children?

Why is there such a distinction drawn between a child who is still in the womb and a child that has been born? The same people who insist that there must be abortion on demand seem to be the same ones who are the most disturbed when a news story about children being killed comes up.
I need to remember that those with whom I disagree on points like this are not my enemies, but people in need of God’s grace. And my prayers.

Wow! I use Adobe Illustrator on a daily basis, and thought that there was some complexity to the files I work with, but this guy’s work leaves me speechless.

Like I said, wow!

Apple Macintosh Computer Repair Manuals and Resources

Wow! Huge compilation of Mac service manuals, all in one place. You can even order the whole works on a 2 CD set for $10.

A bargain at twice the price!

A Unique Gift for Children and Adults! An Optical Illusion of You! — Turn Your Head

BoingBoing had a blurb on this yesterday; cool idea, but this outfit is a little pricey at $150 a piece. I would think you could do the same by following the instructions on the site for taking a profile photo, then use Photoshop to convert that to a turning template. Take that to a woodshop (hello Bud!) and you’d be almost there.

Might have to try this sometime.

I’ve been kinda thinking about getting a real domain name that would point to my blog for a while now, but never really thought long and hard about it. Then today dotster.com had a deal going for 50 cent domain name registration. Heck, that’s almost as good as free!

Being a guy that has a hard time passing up a good deal, that got me thinking a little harder about a domain name. thornton.com is taken, as is davidthornton.com. davethornton.com is taken as well, but davethornton.net is available. Hmmm.

Then it hit me; davintosh.com! I started using davintosh as a username when I got into AppleFritter.com, and since the moniker identifies me with the computers I know & love best, that ought to be the name for my site. So look for www.davintosh.com to point to these pages sometime very, very soon.

Update: Well, I’ve got the domain name, but one thing I didn’t realize is that my hosting service will support only one domain name. Adding a second domain name would cost $2.00 a month, which is a little steep considering the service I have now is only $2.95 a month. I could also upgrade to the next package for the same $4.95, which would give me two domain names, twice the disk space and twice the bandwidth (like I’m maxing out what I have now; right!)

So for now, I think I’ll just park davintosh.com and think over the added cost. It’s not that terribly much, but is it worth it just for vanity’s sake?
