It's all over the news: Sulu's gay! It's nice that he finally came out of the closet --- about 10-15 years too late, but better late than never. But really! Who *didn't* know? It's been the scuttlebutt for most of those 10-15 years...
Yup, I got it. One thing that amazes me, is that it's the first color LCD screen I've yet seen that is actually *more* visible in direct sunlight. This is very well done. I wish the user interface were as good. They lost the buttons at the top of the screens that help navigate. Instead, you have to use hard buttons on the case to go back. I suppose I'll get used to it though, it's not *that* hard.
So, today, I tried my hand at finding the State Quarter Swap geocache. I turned on WAAS, and the thing seems to be extremely accurate, taking me back to the same clump of three trees repeatedly, but unless it was buried in the brambles, I couldn't find it. Of course, shorts and blackberries just don't mix, and without gloves either, I wasn't too inclined to root around in them. And the instructions say you don't have to leave the bridge, but I don't believe it --- a container of quarters left on the bridge, or even under it, would be much too easy to see and would not last long in the open. Anyway, photos and commentary are here.
I went to Basic Rights Oregon's Texas Hold'em fundraiser tonight. Thought I'd see if watching a couple seasons of Celebrity Poker on Bravo has done anything for me. It must have done something --- I was one of 6 out of 15 or so that survived to the end, though I was short stack of that lot. It was fun though, and I hope there are more, though not so expensive to buy into...

...though mostly this is testing Flock, a new web browser based on Firefox that has integrated blogging, flickr photo album and rss feed support. Could be interesting...
