It went like this:
I announce: “Speak Slow” by Tegan and Sara is the best pop song of eleven eleven, two thousand and seven.
Erin Dean says: “Killer Queen is way better - that’s what I’m learning on Guitar Hero”
me: “Nuts to that - either of Tegan or Sara could have totally out arm-wrestled Freddie Mercury. Is ‘Speak Slow’ even in Guitar Hero?”
Erin: “I have no idea but if it is, we duel.”
I: go to Erin’s profile page, find some fruit ripe for the picking in the form of a movie quiz she scored 74% on, I score a crushing 93%
And just like that, I like Facebook. I’m so fickle with my internet fads but unlike all the other busted social networking sites, facebook is actually fun.

Today’s route.
…it’s windy…it’s cold…they tipped all the chairs over - I guess no one wants to watch over the park on a day like this…it’s windy and cold…good day for the north run - wind at my back…raining, too - I drew an unlucky hand…kind of a surprising number of bikers out this morning…Unlimited Hydroplane…maps said this keeps going up the hill - guess I take these stairs?…this road is just almost big enough for me and these cars - they win…jeez queen anne is a lot more like a volcano than a hill with these dips at the top…wow - incredible view from 8th!…could my clothes possibly hold any more water?…”Property guarded by Pierce County Security”? I guess a lot of crooks aren’t that smart but this wouldn’t really deter me…rain plus ipod equals the end of “Give Up” is the end of my music today…too bright for the opera lights to be on…tourists filming nothing at seattle center - “Look at this drenched American!!”…finally done…shoot - not even 60 minutes - I need to go further next time or I’m falling short…
Say you want to run IE6 in Windows Vista. If you think “that sounds like it should be easy but I bet it’s not” then you’re right.
This dude has packaged up various versions of IE into a single installer that lets you get multiple versions of IE on the same machine. However, it doesn’t work with Vista. There’s a link to a post from Pete LePage from the IE team suggesting the way to do this with Virtual PC (Microsoft’s virtualization product that competes with VMWare). That seems easy enough, but boy is virtualization not convenient. I have a half hour to go on my 600MB download of the VPC image with IE6.
