The numbers came out in the paper saying that wind speeds were somewhere in the 35 MPH range. I really wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if they topped 50. The power went out on Sunday for a few hours, and I have to say that night is much darker here when the power is out than down in the light-polluted lower elevations. I dragged out the lantern and cars driving by actually slowed down to marvel at the mystery of that sole light source. Phenomenal.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apple iPhone &#8211; <\/b>I raised the point with the editors of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuaw.com\/2007\/01\/10\/will-the-iphone-cannibalize-ipod-sales-or-vice-versa\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Unofficial Apple Weblog<\/a>, but they seemed to dodge a bit. My thought is that the iPhone is awfully sexy and a design triumph for Mr. Ive, granted. Why, however, can&#8217;t I have just the iPod part without the phone? A touch\/widescreen video iPod with a camera, mail, web browser, and Wi-Fi? I can certainly do without Cingular (and their $60 a month data plan, yikes.) so the only thing holding them back must be the competition with the base Macbook. Or competition with the phone itself. Maybe Q4. I hope my 4th generation iPod holds out that long.<\/li>\n<li><b>President&#8217;s Troop Buildup &#8211; <\/b>Sounds like Mr. Bush Goes To Cambodia to me. Y&#8217;all remember LBJ, right?

Apparently, he&#8217;s a really nice guy who is a longtime friend of Jimmy Two-Beers and thought that we&#8217;d like to know about the publication of the poem. I guess some of the comments I made were inflammatory. Who knew! All I saw was a press release, kinda. I must be very bitter and angry about something. At least that was the gist of the charge.
