Spore. I just got an email saying my copy of the game has shipped.
(Maybe Chinese Democracy will be included as a bonus.)

Heh, BP. Let us know if it ever arrives. Spore that is. If Chinese Democracy arrives, keep it under your hat.

Bf started playing it this morning. All plans we had for today are thus shot. He just cheerfully announced he got a brain.

I'm going to upgrade to Leopard just to play this game.

(And I need to get Time Machine to back up my stuff anyway.)

I'm more excited by Fallout 3, but I suspect Spore will be a fun time sink for a few weeks to tide me over.

Holy crap. They want $300 for a 500 Gb Time Capsule. Screw that.

Oh, no. I hope I don't get my hands on this soon, it will destroy my business.

The bf's dude had a spike for a cock, and now has spiked balls (as in, a mace for a testicle). That he would choose this is somewhat startling.

Is it still possible to use a USB drive on an Airport Extreme as a Time Machine device? I remember reading that a recent upgrade allowed it, but Apple said it was "unsupported," which I took to mean that they're going to discontinue it.

Also, if it doesn't turn out to include Chinese Democracy, but you want to hear an actually pretty good album (with Axl singing on it), go listen to Angel Down.

What kind of bonus would Chinese Democracy be? Other than a glittery frisbee you can throw around.
