The Mighty Mouse Roars

After 21 years of denial, the Mighty Mouse roars.

I can just hear Steve Jobs to his product dev team – “Bring me a two-button mouse – with no buttons! Forget about that VideoPod you’ve been working on!”

Night Moves

Thomas Hawk makes note of this blog dedicated to night photography on Flickr. Check out the Nighthawks – Night Photography blog. Below is an a photo I shot at a country fair in Hinesville, GA in the early 90s. I loved the way a longish exposure at post-sunset dusk could bring out these wonderful purple-to-pink colors in the sky.

Brown-Bag Your Way To Half a Million!

Over at personal finance blog Hello, Dollar! they’ve got a great post about how bringing your four times a week can eventually earn you half a million dollars.

So let’s see, four days bringing lunch at $2 plus one day out at $7 equals $15 per week. Eating out every day would cost $35 per week, so I save $20. $20 a week! That’s over $80 a month — that covers my utility bills right there. Who couldn’t use that?

40 years and the miracle of compound interest turns that into $581,826! Nice!
