My Place
A few rooms of my palatial estate have already been documented, but some of you nonlocals have requested more pics of the apt. Here then: some friends were kind enough to take a few shots the other day.

The Party
Was going to go to a party, watched “The Party” instead.

A New Blue Screen of Death
Having just received my freshly repaired PB 15 from Apple, I fired it up to test the new display. All was working swell for a few hours until the screen suddenly dimmed and a pool of blue spread across the LCD like water or an electronic aurora borealis. Wet streams of clear pixels dripped down the center. It was as if the little guy rejected the new screen like a bad organ transplant. I snagged this photo as I watched the spectacle play out over the next 30 seconds. I was simultaneously pissed and fascinated.
Certain the failure was hardware related, I got the box of foam ready to send back to Apple. But upon restart, the display returned to normal function and I haven't seen the phenomenon again.
Was it just a natural reaction? The machine adjusting to a new implant? Maybe you think I’m a big time nerd who assumes his PB lives and breathes. Maybe you’re right.

Living Room
Just renewed my lease for another year. Click on that there pic — Lorp’s fancy lens makes the living room look giant. Flashback: here’s a post from the day I found my home in Oakeley.

Typophile’s 5th Anniversary Relaunch
At 05/05/05 5:55pm, the new Typophile went live. The site uses a Flash technique similar to sIFR to dynamically generate all headlines (this includes the subject line of every forum post) in H&FJ’s new Mercury. Gotham is also used for smaller heads.
The newest post is also displayed as a sort of textu(r)al backdrop in the site’s front page, so Typophile’s entryway is constantly changing. Wow. Suddenly, Typographica’s rotating banner seems ridiculously antiquated.

White and Delightsome
Photos from the White Party in Vancouver are up. Beautiful decor and wonderful people. Don’t know what I’m going to do with these shoes and glasses now. I’ll let my faithful blog readers have the first whack at ’em before they go on eBay. Shall we start the bidding at $.05 for the entire ensemble?

Waking Up In Stockholm
Jen and Erin woke me at noon on a Saturday. Much of the Sweden experience is represented here: up late and cold with a misshapen beard, lacking adequate bedding — luckily I had my PowerBook and McCobbian side table.
