Netflix has had “play now” capability for a while now. For anyone using Windows, that is. But they just announced a new beta program for Mac users.

What stinks is that Macs with a PowerPC chip (G4 or G5 Macs) will be left in the dark. It’s only for Intel-powered Macs. It’s not Netflix’s fault. It’s Microsoft’s fault. Netflix uses Microsoft’s Silverlight software to do DRM (something else I dislike). I guess it’s also Apple’s fault for building computers that last a long time and don’t need to be replaced in order to work with their latest operating system.

My poor dog is so scared of the wind that she has to run and hide in the basement.

Windex vs Flies: Windex 3, Flies 0

Time for another blog entry. What to write about today?

I think it’s time to pause and reflect on things. Like a freeze-frame mirror.

I think of where I am, where I’ve been, and where I’m going. Is there someone special in my life about whom I’d like to shout from the rooftops? Why haven’t I been posting my more usual morose and lonely thoughts to my blog lately? Why haven’t I been writing much of anything on my blog lately? What does purple taste like? Why so many questions?

Look for me….

Today was a good day.

The shorter they are, the harder they punch.

I’ll write you this poem
As my way to show ‘em
The highest you hold little piece of my heart

A lilt and a beat
A jig with my feet
Do dance with me lightly and slightly apart

My life on a string
My smile does sing
A happier story remaining in sight

Forget about worry
Keep not in a hurry
Enjoying each moment I’m within your light

For pleasanter days
I exit this haze
And plot a course starward, escaping the night

Then spotting an end
Becoming a friend
The end and beginning are one in the same
