Yesterday I realized that I’m going to need to buy RAM for the Powerbook in order to do anything—there’s just not enough on there to run two programs at once. I still haven’t been able to get all the crap moved around yet, but I’m hoping tonight I can organize stuff.

I’m meeting JT tonight about a design job he emailed me with yesterday; I got back with K. about her job this morning, and I’m going to call K. to schedule a talk with him at lunch today. Things are rolling. Plus I got an email from Brad yesterday checking in, so I can get back with him finally.

I was reading today that Dooce got fired from her job yesterday because of what she wrote online about two weeks ago; it completely sucks for her, but she doesn’t sound too bummed out about it. Methinks she was looking to make a move anyway, but since I don’t even know her (just what she writes about online) this is all speculation.

They are making a movie about one of the most gripping books I’ve read in a long time: We Were Soldiers Once, And Young. In my mind, Hal Moore (author and commander on the ground in Oct. ’65) should be the President of the United States. Or, at least, Secretary of Defense. This book also bears on a recent post about Rick Rescorla, who figured prominently in the book, and who was featured in a recent New Yorker bio that kept me up until 2am. Anyway, I hope the movie is good.

I ordered the RAM for the Powerbook today. $99 with shipping for a 256MB chip. I figure, fuck it- if I’m going all out, I’m going all out. No compromising with this machine. No crashing like the 8500 did. And with three freelance jobs in the door, I can’t fool around with 64MB. I need to have a working, breathing machine.

A little “Nights on Broadway” by the Bee Gees today, mixed with some Zeppelin, Commodores, and Three Dog Night today.

Installed Palm Desktop 3.6 and got it to sync up with the handheld, and I remember why I love the Mac version of the desktop software so much more. It took a while to figure out, but I got it working again, and I’m happy now. Soon they’re coming out with 4.0, and we’ll see how good it is, and if it’s worth using at all.
