soapbox

Everyone try going to dactyl and see if you like the changes that I made.

i mean seriously, what was he thinking?

mira’s thrilled to be out of her crate right now, and wants badly to play. she brought her stuffed squirrel over to me, and when i wouldn’t take it, she threw it onto my laptop. direct hit. it was so cute i had to throw it for her.

because this is really stupid. at first i figured it would be the captain being pissed off (he’s 25, she’s 18), but no, it’s a legal issue. buh.

mobiBlu is announcing they have the world’s smallest mp3 player, a tiny little 2.4 cm/side (that’s .945 inch) cube, unimaginatively called the DAH-1500 cube.

actually, it does look pretty slick, and it can rock out on the FM dial too. here’s a review, or if you don’t feel like reading, the conclusion:
Pros
It’s Tiny
Bright OLED Display
Recognized as Universal Storage Device
Easy to use
Cons
It’s Tiny
Slow File Transfer
Poor Track Transition
No DRM Support
