Yep, those cogs are always working ... sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. :)
Charlie's utterly fearless when it comes to hiking. I actually wasn't going to go down that cliff because I was worried about him -- but he plunged right ahead, actually slipped a few feet, reassessed the situation and chose a new route ... and he was at the bottom before I had the chance to call him back. Contrast that with his sense of utter panic when he sees a three-year-old human tottering his way!
Ahhh, definitely 100% dog! What a good boy. I'm sure he would adapt to 3 years olds pretty quickly, especially when he realizes that they often mean food! ;-).
At a high-end electronics shop today, I overheard an earnest young salesman explaining all about computers to a new customer: "You can use three different operating systems on a computer -- Apple, HP, and Google."
Installed the Lion upgrade on my iMac this morning, though not without difficulty ... the download crashed the App Store application! My initial thoughts are mixed. Safari seems much improved, and the left/right swipe action there is brilliant. I'm already used to the "reversed" scrolling, but I re-enabled the always-visible scroll bar ... it makes no sense at all to have that disappear on a desktop device.

The Finder and Mail went way too far towards the monochrome look ... the font choices, spacing, and graphic layout all suck. On the other hand, Apple went too far in the other direction in the Address Book and iCal, sacrificing usability and
So for those of you who haven't heard, the engine on my poor old Toyota finally gave up the ghost last week. This is the car I got to replace it -- a new Subaru XV Crosstrek. And of course I had to get it in orange. :)
Bless his heart. You can just see the cogs working behind those intelligent eyes....

ReplyDeleteHe's probably just able to sense his master's opinion that three-year-olds are best avoided. :-p
