Leopard!

I upgraded to Leopard. From what I've seen, I like it. I also got the new iLife '08 and iWork '08. The new iPhoto stuff is really neat. I haven't really messed around with IWork, so that is forthcoming. The best thing about Leopard is it is backups for idiots. I have been terrible about backing up stuff, and this does it for you.

Tomorrow I get to go to N.O. (yippee!) for a federal court seminar. The good thing about this is that it gets me admitted into all three federal courts here as well as the 5th Court of Appeals. LIke I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff in federal court soon. You never know, though, and I guess it is a good thing to have.

Deliverance and the Next Generation

This is Zoey





One of my favorite scenes is the "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance. It was only years later that I realized that the guy playing the banjo with the kid is Ronny Cox. I guess it is my weirdness, but I like to imagine different characters from different films interacting. For instance, one of my favorite Star Trek - The Next Generation episodes is "Chain of Command" where Ronny Cox plays an (initially) asshole CO. Ever since I saw Deliverance, I thought it would be awesome if during the episode, Jellico (Cox's character) and Data pulled out the banjo and guitar and jammed.

Cold weather finally here. Loving it.
