Throwing money at problems... or not

Some of my disasters have been averted. Others will sit on me for awhile. Mike Piazza and I went out computer shopping last night. Mike Piazza thinks we solved the computer issue... after a few calls to local IT personalities Blair and Bubba Cohen.
Mike Piazza also thinks I should be on the short list for the new crabon Niner too, so what does Mike Piazza know?

Anyways, this is the first time I've had a computer less than five years old to work with here at Bad Idea Racing headquarters. This is also my first quality (functional) laptop. I'm not sure if I'm digging the laptop thing yet, and I know someone who absolutely hates it.

This is the current foster pet. She is blind, has leukemia, and she has been spending the last few weeks sitting on my lap while I blog every morning. She is quite jealous of the laptop.

I am a very small man. My lap is not big enough for a kitten and a laptop. I have a definite conflict of interest going on here. It is our job to give this kitten a quality of life for awhile, and this kitten has made me very aware of the fact that the laptop is affecting her quality of life.

Not to jump around too much, but I got my latest copy of Dirt Rag over the weekend... another quality article in there written by me, well actually me and my "department". I'll have to get back to that at another time this week, as I found many things interesting in the current issue.

I have to apologize for yesterday's extreme use of language. I used no less than five four letter words, and I used "meh" where there easily coulda been a sixth. I was feeling a little frustrated and all, what with the needlessly fried computer (my wife's surge protector had the phone cable jack) and the hail dimpled cars. It's looking like I'm gonna be driving around in a big, orange golf ball since I have a $500 deductible on both cars. Originally I thought "meh" might have been quite appropriate in this case, but on second thought perhaps this issue has gone to the "fuck level" as in, "This is Cindy from Progressive. Yes, Mr Dillen... you are fucked."

I only got one half of a proper answer to yesterday's question. Which headset should I put in my Niner (Meatplow V.4) when I get my crabon frok, the purple Cane Creek 110 or the black Cane Creek 110? This is a democracy here, well as much of a democracy as we can have in this country, so let me know what you think. I'll be mounting it up on the morrow, so voice your opinions now.
