QotD: Pet Project

nobody@vox.com(terrapin) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:30:47 -0400

Do you have a pet? What kind of pet do you own, and why did you choose it?
Submitted by Brendz.

We have two Boston Terriers, one which we got as a puppy and the other was an adoption. We selected the breed after much research mostly on how much we loved the look, but also because they have short hair and are very smart.

QotD: Pizza Preference

How do you eat your pizza: folded, flat or with a fork and knife?
Submitted by danimass.

Depends on the pizza, or more accurately, the size of the slice. The larger the slice width, the more likely I will fold it. I won't say I'd never use a fork and knife, but I'd have to have a damn good reason. And I can't think of one.

QotD: Heaven Scent

What is your favorite scent?
Submitted by Erinen.

I can't even begin to pick a favorite because I love so many smells: freshly mown grass, fallen leaves, fresh coffee, waking up to pancakes, puppies, blue cheese, my wife's neck... not in that order, and so many more, but you get the picture.

QotD: All My Computers

How many computers do you have in your house?
Submitted by Foomper.

I did a rough count in my head and I believe we have 7 (all functioning too!) computers currently in our home:

My "main" computer is an eMac
My laptop is a 12" G4 PowerBook
Wifes day-to-day computer is a G3 iBook
Wife's work computer (scullysound.com) is a 15" G4 PowerBook
Old Apple laptop from wife's college days. I don't recall what kind.
Mac Classic that is currently in a box, but we hope to display/use soon. Has games including Tetris. Neighbor in DC gave it to me for FREE a few years ago.
Dell-in-a-box. Inherited this one from my dad. Used it for a bit, but it is really loud... and the only Windoze machine we own.
