How stupid am I?
I just can’t get the printer to work. It’s connected to the Windows XP machine of my mother and I wish to print from my Mac over our little network. I’ve tried for hours but get some access denied errors all the time. However I found a solution. I mentioned VMware before. There is Windows XP and from there I can print over the nerwork without a problem. I know there is a solution for Mac OS but until I found it this is it. And since I deny paper anyway (most of the time) I can live with this crappy way. Although maybe I should use Linux instead of Windows to automate things. But now I need to ignore the printer for a while. Maybe it will just change its mind.

Dear MagSafe,
When I saw the MagSafe power connector, I thought it was just a nice little silly trick. Who would actually stumble over the power cable?? Now I know. I just did. I could barely feel it. The computer would not have fallen down otherwise, but it would not have been very healthy either. So thank you MagSafe, now I understand.

Logitech Air Mouse
I found this. It’s the Logitech MX Air Mouse. Looks pretty nice. I was thinking about buying a Wii Remote for this kind of functionality. But this is cooler. It works just as a normal laser mouse if you want. However when you lift it, the two microelectromechanical sensors take over. The mouse starts recognizing the movement in the air. Search on YouTube for “air mouse” for some demo-videos. The fast scrolling feature reminds a bit of the iPhone. Anyway, I’m seriously thinking about getting one since my old mouse is falling apart sooner or later. Although the 150 dollar price tag may keep me away for a while.
