It appears that I am not the only OS X user who has opted to switch to PowerMail as my e-mail program. Applelinks has a review of PowerMail v3.1 today… [Mac Net Journal]

I tried PowerMail for a few months after I got disgusted with Eudora. I liked it enough to buy it, but after I got Office X a month later, I switched to Entourage, which I’m still using. PowerMail is very nice, but Entourage is nicer. I was using Eudora Pro for many years, but I found the OS X version much too annoying. If I have it set to automatically check mail, it will open the mailbox windows with new mail in front of whatever application I’m using. If I tell it not to open mailboxes with new mail, I usually miss any new mail.

Liberal economies that maintain free and unrestricted trade are less susceptible. [MetaFilter]

I was eating some grapes

I was eating some grapes & Cody kept begging me for some. I gave him one, but he turned his nose up at it and then came back to beg some more. He started batting that grape around the floor and playing with it like it was the best cat toy ever, but he wouldn’t eat it. I then gave him the stems, which he also played with and kept batting around.

He’s the cutest thing in the world sometimes.

14216 ª January 27 1:59 PM. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy will be launching a morals program designed to teach high school students about “fundamental values and universal moral precepts.” This in response to his observation that high school students did not feel a sense of outrage after September 11. Kennedy warned against trying to rationalize the actions of the terrorists, saying that “an explanation becomes the excuse.” Do you think the justice system should be in the business of telling people the correct moral response to these events?
