Half-Serious

1. Move in the Winter.
2. Move in the Winter -- with you doing much of the work yourself along with your trusty hand-truck.

4. Embark on a 2nd ambitious web project before the first one is complete (see above).
5. Install that brand new copy of Adobe's 'Master Collection' (CS5) even though you know you could probably do without it for the next week or two.

Is the New York Times in love with Apple? Or did they just not have anything better to write about this week? Here's the first screen of today's 'Technology Section' in their neat 'Skimmer' format (larger image here).
