Happy birthday

Just for the record, the last pair of leather pants I wore was part of my racing leathers, used only on a racetrack, sitting astride a naturally aspirated twin cylinder liter motor, with a set of low-slung handlebars, and topping out close to 140 MPH. Back in the day. “Latte sipping with too much hair gel,” you talking to me? The fish don’t care what my hair looks like, although, I’ve determined that certain hats are more lucky than others. It’s all about the bait, baby.

Besides, I haven’t had a latte since, well, yesterday. Damn, got me there. But I do prefer a straight up shot of espresso.

You know the motto, right?

Laeti edimus qui nos subigant!

(translation: we gladly feast on those who would subdue us.)

Unrelated rumors & retail therapy:
(In two-part harmony)

Apple is rumored to have a sub-$500 “headless mac” on the way. In addition to the rumors, Apple has pursued legal action against one of the purported leaks.

Which has lead to endless speculation as to veracity of said rumors, legal ramifications of said lawsuits, and why Apple would take such a course. If nothing, Apple is good at PR – and rumor sites abound (with concomitant degrees of accuracy).

But with all the pundits, I failed to detect anyone who knew anything about field-craft. I’d suggest that the lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to flush out the source of the leaks, and if you can’t figure out from the inside, then start by making a lot of noise “over yonder” and see if that doesn’t drive the snarky little game into your hand. When the little leak-critter breaks free from the cover to lope across open ground? It’s a clear shot.

And, if the rumor is true about a headless mac for under $500? I’m signing up for one. Price is right, and I can use it for all those administrative tasks that need to be handled by a semi-cogent machine. I’d hook it into the monitor on an old “compact” mac (thanks Greg), and then I’d have a reasonably quick – with all the modern accoutrements – compact mac.

But only if the rumor is true.
