Well my tax rebate finally came through. Well, actually it's called Prime d'Emploi, a scheme where if you're on low salary, you get a rebate, introduced a few years back when they had some tax cuts.
Bought myself an iPod nano (yay!) so I can listen to decent music at work, but am also listening to a lot of podcasts eg BBC News, Today programme, New Scientist and Scientific American reports, as well as Mac news. Also a podcast on learning French.
Also upgraded to iLife '06 over the weekend, and am very impresse with iWeb, and the intergration with the other iApps and .mac and have started redesigning my web site. It's much, much quicker than any other software I've used, and photo albums, videos, podcasts are just a drag and drop away.
Awesome.

True Colours
Well there is finally a ceasefire in Lebanon.
The US could have stopped this by not supplying replacement bombs. Instead they chose to ship in plane loads of replacement bombs and take the money. Profit over humanitarian concerns. Whiteys over Muslims. And they wonder why they have a problem with the perception of the US around the world.
I wonder how many Neocons have shares in the relevant arms and munitions companies?
