My computer's brainchild is cooler than yours (unless you, too, have a Mac)

Next time your computer crashes, maybe you should look at who made it and curse them.

When I saw this photo, I thought "OK, another file photo from a cold case that just got solved?", expecting one of the beareded men had axed the others to death, and his diary was just found in the bedroom of his cat-filled trailer and now his scrawny body was hauled off to jail.

But I was wrong. It's really Bill Gates. And, as far as we know, he neither has a cat-filled trailer, or a murderous past.


(And Steve Jobs looks way cooler. You have to admit.)

Speaking of cat-filled tailers, Dave and I watched the documentary "Grey Gardens," a movie we got from the library (awesome and free). Talk about messed up. You spend the whole time watching Jackie O's aunt and cousin walk around a decaying house in East Hampton, either yelling at each other or singing "Tea for Two." It's very sad, and a bit disgusting.

You have all these nice houses, and then you have this one ... which, actually, was later bought and restored by Ben Bradlee from the Washington Post. Weird, huh. I guess cat pee and raccoons can't deter that "fix 'er up" attitude. Eek.
