Mac OS 10.7

The installation was a breeze. I put $29 into the app store on my computer and my computer updated itself. No disk, no settings, nothing. That part was pretty good. Especially considering (e:matthew) and I were arguing at one point and the computer got shut, went to sleep and woke back up in the middle of the install.

The one thing I really don't like is the scrolling. The way it works now, dragging the trackpad down scrolls up and dragging the trackpad up scroll down, like on an iphone. It seems to break the convention of everything other computer system. Maybe I will get used to it.

I really don't like it as much as gnome 3. For example launchpad sucks compared to the gnome 3's dash.

Overall it really doesn't seem like much is different. I don't expect anyone to have trouble switching between from 10.6 to 10.7.

Two quails and a shephards pie

(e:tinypliny) and I went Betty's for dinner the other night. We sat outside and were so into our conversation that when we finally looked inside we realized the chairs were up. (e:tinypliny) proceded to steal the linens and we left. Half way down the block she realized she had the napkin in her hand so we went back to return it.

The food was quite delicious. I had two quail and tiny had the veggie shephards pie.

The maple blight

The maple tree disease is so bad right now. Every tree around is infected. I wonder if they can even collect enough energy for the winter or if we will have streets lined with dead trees in a year or two. Its so bad on streets where they are all maple.

Sirius Rising 2011 - Turtle Fire

If you are reading this and have any pictures of Sirius RIsing 2011 that you can share with me, please click the message me link under my photo and send me a message. Sadly, I couldn't take many pics because my phone battery died.

What a great fire it was. Partway through the night they rebuilt it to add a gigantic vertical hollow log. The fire tending crew was awesome.

UPDATE: This is someone else's video of the main fire being lit on youtube.

metalpeter writes at 05:28:59 07/18/11 - Comment #63664: My Follow up question is it burning for fun and dancing for fun or is there some religious or Spiritual thing going on with the dancing

metalpeter writes at 05:27:33 07/18/11 - Comment #63663: So what was that thing burning in the fire it looks like a winged dinosaur?

tinypliny writes at 11:31:49 07/17/11 - Comment #63650: That pic you linked really makes me want to go back to ballet and perfect my developpe temps. I am sure there is an equivalent in yoga. I am going to ask Erin next time.

paul writes at 09:34:24 07/17/11 - Comment #63642: It was a loin cloth. Ya, I don't think I have any other pics except for the few I took at the spirit ritual which I will post as soon as my phone recharges.

tinypliny writes at 07:51:52 07/17/11 - Comment #63638: You didn't have pockets? That is the lamest excuse ever, unless you were wearing a slinky dress (in which case, the fashion conscious do not tailor pockets in). In which case, where is that photo?

tinypliny writes at 07:49:35 07/17/11 - Comment #63637: Also, where are the contemplative pics of (e:Keith)? Don't you think you are slipping a little?

paul writes at 07:47:00 07/17/11 - Comment #63635: Sorry, big fire. A bug fire would be way different.

paul writes at 07:46:31 07/17/11 - Comment #63634: Sadly that is not even the main firepit with the bug fire. (E:keithT) got pictures if that but I didn't have any pockets so no pics.
