A different sort of geekery

I've been lax on posting, in part due to marathon stints of Alias, a show highly recommended by friends. I'm only a little over halfway through season 1, so it's hard to say much about it. The story has sucked me in, though already I'm not sure I'm following it all.

But that's not what I want to geek about. One of the coolest parts about watching Alias is that I'm doing it on the extra fancy brand new 24" iMac. This thing is sweet. It's bigger & brighter than my television, and way fast. Now I can download stuff, play a game, run a couple chat programs, and nothing lags.

Even better than the super pretty picture and awesome speed, is the videochat capability. In the past couple weeks I've been able to talk to several friends, including one in Puerto Rico with a lovely view of the ocean behind him. Awesome!

No wonder people use this for porn.

More scifi geekery soon!
