Obnoxious Texicans..
YEA! Now the obnoxiousness can begin - the Beagle from Austin - "Uno" has WON Best in Show at Westminster! That rules...the audience gave him a standing ovation...crazy...Let the Texan bragging begin...heh...
I've lived here long enough to consider myself a 'Texan' (or Texican as John Wayne liked to say), and can make fun of our state...Right now the buzz is all about how "Texas will decide the Democratic Nominee" and 'Clinton/Obama will debate in Texas'...it makes us sound like the fate of the free world depends on how we vote...chill out, I say...Its all good...relax...Oh yeah, did I mention that Clinton/Obama will be debating here in Austin on Feb 21? The town is abuzz about it, and I can see why...I'd love to go see it, but there's no way I could get closer than 20 miles to the chaos that's gonna abound...did I mention that I hate politics? Crazy, no?
the other thing that's being touted is one of the dogs that's up for Best in Show at the Westminster show (the finale is tonight) is from Austin...Which is cool and all, but you'd think they were sending him up on the next Space Shuttle the way the newspaper is freaking out about it...chill out, I say...relax...
Things are moving slowly, but forward, with my conversion from Dell to Mac...Brian has been spending lots of time filling in the gaps...some of it is researching how the new operating system and how Macs work in general...so there's a large ramp up curve...I won't be surprised if he buys himself a Mac just so he can play in this world, cause its pretty cool...I'm still not used to the lack of 'right click', cause I LIVE with that on the PC...but its ok, i'm finding my way around...and I'm keeping Amelie from crushing it when i close it down...she does love to lay on closed laptops...
Its cold, rainy and windy...last blast of Winter, perhaps...I hear it'll be sunny and 65 later, but right now it looks doubtful...I do like the rain, tho...rain is good...

Hey, Donna! You can get a Mac mouse with a right click. I use one here at work on my Mac and I could live without it. I have a tiny roller ball that's way cool because you can scroll up and down AND right and left with it! Plus there are squeeze buttons on the right and left (sort of on the side) that can be set, too. I squeeze those when I don't want to so I turned that feature off. Upgrade your mouse, girl!!! You can have your cake and right click, too!!!

You wanna hear something wacky? I did buy the Mac Mighty Mouse (wireless) and put the batteries in and synced it to the Mac, and its all working and ready to go - except its still sitting on the PowerBook box in the living room - not being used!! Its mostly cause the Mac is being moved from the studio to Brian's office to the living room while it's being worked on, so there's no 'home' for the mouse to live in or be used properly...Once everything settles down, I'll pull that dude out and give him a whirl...I saw where you can set the right mouse button as 'right click' but i haven't put it into action just yet...I'll letcha know how it goes, tho...sweet!!
