Meanwhile, Mike got himself a real Mac and turned into one of those people. He's going to start designing apps for the iPhone with the new Mac Mini he got. I must say, it is an incredibly tiny and cute computer. Right now we're tossing around ideas to make an app for learning veterinary anatomy, since there are a million human anatomy ones but very few that apply to vet med.


And as if that wasn't enough electronics for a small Malaysian town, we bought a new printer to add to the mix. It's wireless! Which me and my laziness love to pieces.


Spending loan money is fun. I also splurged on some planty things for our back porch, now that the sun has returned. For flowers, we have honeysuckle and phlox planted in the dirt around the porch, but neither of those have really taken off yet. In pots (out of Bean-pee range) I've got spinach, red bell peppers, basil, oregano, rosemary and cilantro starting to sprout now. The spinach is doing the best right now, probably because it's a cool weather vegetable and we live in perpetual winter up here.
