The T9 Cometh
My new mobile phone has T9 text entry, and while it's nothing new it has quite an expanded word list. I've found it even contains the following words, which is quite surprising:
Doth
Cometh
Alas
Diggity (as in J-Diggity, you know who you are)
Google
Dingly (don't ask how I found this one)
It does not contain the word "sushi" though, and I find this disappointing.
A New Evil Close To Home?
The American people should be suspicious of this. To me, not caught up in the fear tactics of the Bush administration, this appears to be part of a larger plan to gradually erode people's rights and freedoms.
The end result, it would seem, is to have everyone surrender unconditionally to the state. If you study a bit of history, you'll find that that has been done before with some success.

Gratification?
Yesterday, my friend randomly commented to me about something on my blog page. It turns out she's read rather a lot of it. I had a reaction akin to catching a pervert looking into my bedroom window.
I mostly use my blog page to rant to the ether, but it's inevitable that someone will eventually read it. That said, this is only the second time I've had an unsolicited comment about it.
Since I'm past that now, if you have an opinion on something I write then please comment. Just click that button and blather away. That's all I do.
P.S., September 16, 2006: I really do like the feedback, so keep it coming. It wasn't meant to be a hurtful remark. I am, after all, a little attention whore. Keep it coming, y'all.
Computers Are Female
The Romantic languages define each and every noun as being either feminine or masculine. It's part of the flavour of the language, but it can leave one pondering as to how they decided the gender of something as androgenous as, for example, a toaster.

I like Microsoft Office and use it every day for email and what not, despite some of my misgivings about the Microsoft Corporation. It does the job, so I'm not prone to getting into major debates about Office vs. Lotus vs. OpenOffice, etc.
