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.

Spring Soccer
It’s time for Spring soccer.
I’m helping coach our second grader’s team and my wife and I are both coaching the kindergarten team.
It’s a typical early Spring here in Michigan, where some days are in the 40s, cloudy and generally suck out loud, whereas others are sunny and in the 60s.
Of course, the forecast for this Saturday is crap, cloudy, with temps in the 40s.
Go LadyBugs!

the Cutting Edge
(66% dark, 42% spontaneous, 21% vulgar) your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARKYour humor’s mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there’s something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren’t themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.
Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

Continental Mayhem
A story on Der Spiegel covers what scientists are calling the beginnings of a new ocean, at the earth’s surface!
Basically, a plate-shifting dance is taking place in Africa, just west of the Red Sea, with amazing speed. Scientists describe new fissures and cracks in the earth’s surface, with the venting of hot gasses; indications of volcanic activity, and the presence of Basalt magma, the same magma that’s vented from volcanic spots in the ocean depths.
Cool stuff.
