Time Capsule. Slick. I want one.
But it won't solve my problem; a full hard drive on my trusty old Mac iBook. Darn. At Macworld Expo 2008 Steve Jobs introduced Apple's new Time Capsule automatic backup system which combines a large hard drive with a WiFi base station. Slick. This and OS X Leopard's new Time Machine feature makes backups automatic and effortless. Just what I need - effortless. I know, it's not a lot of effort to get out the portable drive and plug it in, but do I do it often enough? No. Time Machine has made it so much simpler to back up that I'm better at it but still not diligent enough. Gotta work on that diligence thing. But I want a Time Capsule. And a slick MacBook Air would be nice too. Dream on John....

Our Peripheral Existence
Being a minority in both caste and class, we moved about anyway on the hem of life, struggling to consolidate our weaknesses and hang on, or to creep singly up into the major folds of the garment. Our peripheral existence, however, was something we had learned to deal with, probably because it was abstract.
