Well, after having an explosion of comment spam on my account I've finally set it so that you have to register with TypeKey in order to make comments. I held out for as long as I could, but finally gave in. One hope I have now is that now that Six Apart owns LiveJournal maybe they'll find a way to let LiveJournal users register their accounts with TypeKey. Making it easier for them to leave comments on Movable Type based blogs.

A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for Chocolate Crackles and thought it would be nice to finally post a picture of just what these wonderful cookies look like.
My friend Ellen had some today and said they were great!
I've been a little quiet lately. Doing a bunch of reading and playing World of Warcraft. Somewhere in there Apple released the Mac Mini. I seriously want one. I've got an old B&W G3 it would replace just perfectly. I'd probably want the $599 one though. I kind of wish they offered a higher end one with the SuperDrive that wasn't a custom build though.
One thing I've found is that this has many numerous people I know who had been trying to avoid getting a mac finally take the plunge. Bout time Apple made a move like this. Btw, if you're getting one, bump the memory up to at least 512MB if not a full gig. You'll be happy you did.
Today I was calling my cell phone company to make a payment since I realized I'd spaced on paying that one online. Upon calling I discovered that they now have a voice driven menu system. So, first I had to say "I'd like to make a payment", then say every little bit of information that was needed. First, saying this with any kind of cough is difficult, took me two tries for my credit card number. Second, it was slow.
I could have been done with the phone call in about 1/3rd of the time if I hadn't had to say it all. It's a heck of a lot easier to key in all that stuff. The sad thing is that I bet this will become the norm because it is 'cool'.
