Today is the day of the 'Corn Festival'. We're planning to take Plato and the nippers and sweat a lot. Last year it was pretty good: they had 5 or 6 different varieties of sweet corn to try and a giant inflatable caterpiller for the kids to play in.

I installed MacOS X on the family's iMac last week. This morning, the kids reported that it keeps having kernel panics. I did a few web searches and found that people are reporting the USBAudio kernet extension that supports the iSub is buggy. I knew that getting an iSub was stupid -- I should have just gotten another set of Yahama speakers with a subwoofer that have an analog feed. Oh, well. The iSub makes a statement anyway (mostly about how stupid and willing to drink the kool-aid I am).
