With 60+ GB of media spread between various Macs, the cavernous space at Dreamhost will finally get some use.

Follow the instructions at http://blog.ridethebandwagon.com/2007/06/29/free-dreamhost-account-for-bloggers-twitters-and-powncers to get a Bandwagon and a year of Dreamhost hosting for $24! Great timing on this promotion guys…I’m re-upping at Dreamhost in just a few days.

My fastest was 73 words per minute with 4 mistakes. I was amazed to see that I can type faster than 40 wpm.

I’m afraid to admit I can relate to Pig.

For my reference, I’m posting this one using Ecto.

Took me a few tries to get to where I could quickly solve it. Why don’t you give it a shot?

http://freeweb.siol.net/danej/riverIQGame.swf

The following rules apply:

~ Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
~ The father can not stay with any of the daughters, without their mother’s presence
~ The mother can not stay with any of the sons, without their father’s presence
~ The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member, if the Policeman is not there
~ Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft
~ To start click on the big blue circle on the right.
~ To move the people click on them.
~ To move the raft click on the pole (red dot) on the opposite side of the river.

Don’t worry about messing the rules. The game will enforce them with funny animations, then gives you a shot to pick different people. But at least once, leave the mother with one of the sons without the father around. :)

Interesting opinion on what Apple’s Bootcamp announcement (Windows XP on Mac) means for Apple’s marketshare.

Hook up a meter to your home’s main power supply and then use a wireless display to monitor you kilowatts. Unplug something and watch the values change.

Barebones specs shows that the dell is a clear winner, but if you want a lapto with the bells and whistles on the dell then you will need to pay more than the macbook. And don’t forget about OS X vs windows.
