Look. A new mug.

I woke up at 4:53, got a glass of water, checked how much snow we got overnight–a dusting–and couldn’t fall back asleep. It’s started up snowing again, but it shouldn’t last long.

Last night, I started a new skein on my scarf , adding it on by felting the ends of the two skeins. It was the first time I’ve tried it; it worked pretty well. The yarn was a bit thick at the join, but the pattern hides it. Added another inch and a half. Only 16″ to go.

I am seriously tempted to switch from a PC to a Mac G5. This thing I’m using, a 3-yr-old Dell, is perfectly serviceable, but it’s slow to start up and even slower to shut down, and I’m paranoid that the MS software will betray be.

But if I switch to a Mac, the software is expensive and programming for fun will be limited to HTML and Java (aargh); and Apple’s documentation makes Microsoft’s look good.

The Times is here. Time to make the coffee and read the paper.
