Much as it pains Democrats and other liberal/progressive type to hear it, the Republicans …
Apparently at last night’s Democracy for America/DC for Democracy Meetup, there was a move to endorse (in a non-binding way, per the organization’s by-laws) the United for Peace D.C.

Congrats to Eric for rejoining the Mac OS world! He was a big-time Mac user when we were both in college, and now he’s come back from the Windows vortex. Kudos!
Apple finally introduces a multi-button mouse. It’s about friggin’ time. But $50 for a mouse is a bit steep – why not make it wireless for that price, Steve?
