I Guess I Was Hoping for Something More
My new iBook still has the "Macintosh HD" name. Usually, I like to give my hardware biblical names, as technology is our society's new faith. My old old PowerBook 165 was named Onesimus. My PowerBook 1400cs was named Methuselah. My PowerMac 4400 desktop was named Son of Methuselah. My last iBook was Archippus. My Airport network is Jesse. Now, I am stumped, or at least uninspired. I thought about Bezalel, the artist who made all the furnishings for the Israelites, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very well. Any suggestions?



Apotheosis Update I heard on NPR at lunchtime that people are lining up for hours to see Reagan's casket. It's just a casket, right? I might be willing to line up for a little bit of time at an amusement park, to get on the really thrilling new roller coaster, but not for a dead Republican.

I don't know which comment system you're actually using these days so I'll put this on both: Are your computers always boys? I find that psychologically interesting. Mine always get girl names.
