I was playing Driv3r until I realized that playing that game for any extended period of time results in a state that’s not unlike being a complete and total zombie. There’s a quality about it that just slowly shuts down parts of your brain as you play and it takes real determination to escape from its grasp.

I installed the 10.3.8 update a few days ago, and lo and behold, my fan has mysteriously been acting up. I spent the morning downloading and reinstalling the update from the site instead of Software Update, repairing permissions, resetting the PRAM, and running MacJanitor. I just turned it on again after being away for a couple hours and it’s been silent so far, so we’ll see if all that had a positive effect on the Mac’s juju. I also downloaded Temperature Monitor which is kind of a nice little app, and re-realized that Applications/ Utilities/ Activity Monitor is where I can see what processes my computer is handling at the moment.

I read this book called The Deal and it was actually pretty good. It was on my bookshelf and I have no idea where it came from, but I could soundly recommend it.
