    Stray bullet kills toddler in car seat

    What a headline.

    A family is heading out to celebrate Easter, and what happens?

    A stray bullet, the result of an argument, strikes a two year old boy, killing him.

    Can someone from the NRA please explain how this type of thing can be avoided?

    Does Congress need to fund anger management classes for those who may resort to guns when pissed off?

    Is it too much to ask that guns are just a “wee” bit harder to obtain? (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

    New Virtual Machine software for OS X, and it’s not Base Camp 

    Engadget has an interesting post on a piece of software called Parallels. It’s written for Intel-based Macs, and unlike Base Camp, which allows a user to run either OS X or Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac, but not both at the same time, Parallels is more of a virtual machine emulator, similar to Microsoft’s Virtual PC, allowing a user to run both OS X and Windows XP at the same time on an Intel-based Mac.

    What’s nice about Parallels, unlike Virtual PC, is that there is no CPU virtualization. With Intel-based Macs, Parallels can run both OS X and other OS that is compiled to run on X86 chips, resulting in much better performance.

    Detroit Sold For Scrap 

    A great piece on The Onion about the City of Detroit being sold off for scrap. As someone born in the Motor City, it’s part of my birth right to help poke fun at our city. Where’s Coleman Young when you need him…

    Digg it
