FYI: Leave it installed. Otherwise you’ll spend 20 minutes trying to figure out why your iPhone/iPod/iTouch won’t sync or kick into charge mode. A little more important than say, Bonjour.

Which btw, is a completely useless discovery protocol that CAN be safely deleted off your Window’s network as long as you don’t run anything related to Mac OS X or a handful of applications like Tivo desktop.

Another year - another birthday come and gone (8/22/72).   The unfairness of it all – the older I get, the quicker each year seems to fly by.  I guess my accelerated return to the diapers from whence I came is balanced by getting to watch my little girl grow up – I can’t believe she’ll be a year old in less than 4 months!

Anyway, this year’s birthday was perfect – dinner with M&M at a small hole-in-the-wall resturant somewhere in the bowels of Poncey-Highland, icecream cake at the house, and a couple of cool gifts in no particular order:

1. A pair of shirts from [The Longboard House]
2. Apple’s [ iPhone Bluetooth Headset]
3. Factory Renewed [Tivo HD DVR]
4. Contour’s [iPhone Hardskin case] – Mel convinced an Apple employee to let her buy one before general release!
5. A pair of [PMAGs by Magpul] for my AR15

Yup. A great birthday indeed.
