So I was just about to say that Vista isn’t all that bad, but something interesting happened. My PC froze up for about five minutes, the hard drive went crazy, and the half-finished blog entry I had started disappeared. So I figure that whatever is bad for me may as well be bad for a conglomerate’s PR: Windows Vista is no more reliable than Windows ME. I will retract that statement after Microsoft sends me a refund. Not a refund for the software license, a refund for the hours I spent using it, at a rate of $10/hr. Anybody want to get in on this and go class-action style?

Actually, both my laptop and my PC crashed. The desktop crashed twice… in the past half hour. The problem is that I have to choose between Linux - software that was put together by a bunch of unpaid professionals, Windows - software that was apparently put together by paid amateurs, and Mac OS 10 - software that does exactly what Steve Jobs says it will. There really isn’t a win anywhere in there.

NaBloPoMo - So, being more behind than usual on my cyberculture news, I forgot that NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo started. Also, I think we need a new word for acronyms that occur in camel case like the aforementioned events, NaDruWriMi, EvDO, etc. I think we should call these camel-case acronyms Acrocamels!

Lastly, Blogfest 12 was a hit. I met a lot of fabulous people, and will have to dedicate some time tomorrow to stalking them.
