I am the lucky owner of a sweet new Apple MacBook, the white kind. Wipe your chins clean of the Drool Of Envy. So far it's quite nice — after all, it's got a thousand more GHz than my last iBook; what could go wrong?

Of course, the real test is which keyboard design is more prone to getting tasty seeds and oat groat squeezin's stuck underneath. (That's the new MacBook on the left, and the old iBook on the right.) I'll let you know.

I'm enjoying the built in video camera and the Photo Booth software. Oh, the camera angle is a little too likely to catch my double chin (ah, the power of cheese; ah, the joys of growing old; damn, look at those chins; damn, damn). But it's handy for spying on Peanut when he's sitting on my shoulder.

He's so small and light, I can't always tell what he's doing. As it turns out, he's often napping. I forgot to turn the computer's sound off when I took the first picture, and the sound effect woke him up. He's ready for Warm Toasties in the second picture. You can see bigger versions of both pictures (they pop): Peanut startled out of sleep, and Peanut ready to go.
