I’m not a religious person, as I noted in an earlier post. But I still wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter. I had a pretty good day. There was ton of food at home, and I got to hang out with Laura. (We had 4 Jewish people at our Easter party. We’re so hardcore.) We even had a cake that was covered with Peeps. How Easter is that? (Can you use Easter as an adjective?)
On a completely random note – I saw “Garden State” this weekend. I had been meaning to see it for a LONG time, but I finally got around to it. I went in worried that I wasn’t going to like it because several people had mentioned that they liked it but didn’t like the ending. Well I loved the whole thing, and especially loved the ending. In fact, if it had ended differently I would have been really pissed off. If you’re looking for a quirky, funny, sweet movie to watch sometime, I highly recommend this one.
On another completely random note, in the last couple of days I have increased the speed of my mouse pointer on my home and work computers. It makes a HUGE difference. Sure, it takes a little bit to get used to, but after you get used to it, it rocks. I should have listened to Fil about that a long time ago.
So in the end this post ended up being most as much about Easter as I would have thought. Oh well. Computer pointers are more important to my life than Easter anyway.

Nathan, glad to see that your still the dork I knew and loved. I’ll have to try the mouse pointer thing myself, everyone needs a little excitement in their life now and then.
When I first got my Powerbook, I set it to the highest speed and still thought it was too slow. After a week or so, I got used to it and now I’m faster with the pad than with a real mouse because I can leave my hand at the keyboard. If I start using TNT to do AIM out of Emacs, then I’ll fly ‘cuz I’ll never leave home row. As my next suggestion, remap the caps lock key to CTRL like its supposed to be. Is holding down shift that hard? And how many times do you need all caps anyway? Now that I think about it, I should remap my left shift key to ALT. Then my Emacs use will fly even more. Despite having learned to touch type, I always use my right shift to capitalize. Is that just me?
