Free copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 arrived!

I got this for some minor contribution to the Windows Feedback program. Totally worth it!

F4i title arrived!

Yes! Signed. Notarized.

I purchased a 2006 Honda F4i day before yesterday via ebaymotors.com. Shipping from another state.

Free Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate on its way

I just got an email from Microsoft that they’re sending or have sent it, I forget which. Yay! I just wish it was Office 2008 OS X. This was for my participation in the Windows Feedback Program.

Out with the new, in with the new.

Yesterday, after much research into the seller and due diligence — and hand wringing. And pacing. And late nights — I bought a 2006 Honda F4i motorcycle. This is my ideal bike. The only way I could be happier is if it was a 750 but Honda doesn’t sell one of those.

In addition to a large sum of money, I put $1000 of camera equipment in trade. I sold my D40 body, which was already for sale, my 18-200 VR fresh back from Nikon for an AF fix and working better than ever and my 50mm f/1.4. At this point, the only camera I can shoot with is my little Casio Exilim. I don’t regret the trade one bit. I’ll probably just pick up an 18-55 Nikkor for a hundred bucks and be back in business.

Netflix: from 3 to 6

I just upgraded my Netflix account from 3 to 6 simultaneous DVDs.

MacUpdate.com promo bonus — WhatSize for first 3,500 buyers

I just got an email from the MacUpdate.com guys saying that the first 3,500 purchasers of their bundle will get a copy of WhatSize ($12.99). I like this bonus for getting in early. I dig that.

I’ve used WhatSize a few times and it’s been useful. It is not as amazing useful as the Windows-only app DiskMapper from Micro Logic. DiskMapper’s graphical representation of files by their size is what makes it so fantasically, stupendously awesome.

Bought MacUpdate.com promo bundle

I bought the MacUpdate.com promo bundle today. $64.99. I needed DVDRemaster Pro as of today, so it was worth it. Too bad I bought Typinator recently for 20 Euros and it’s in this bundle. Oh, well. If they sell enough copies, we’ll get some additional serious stuff.

Typinator 3.0

Ergonis released Typinator 3.0 today — or, at least, Typinator notified me of the update today. It has lots of nice refinements. It adds the TidBITS autocorrection dictionary (available previously as an individual download but I didn’t know it) and, best of all, there’s no longer a dock icon but a menu bar icon instead. Terrific. I haven’t used it for a single correction yet but once I get rolling today I’ll use it a lot.

Goodbye, D70.

I gave the D70 as a gift this weekend. It was well received. Body only.

Custom knife

We visited my family this weekend. It’s not too long a drive. For my birthday, they gave me an exquisite custom knife by David Lang of Utah. I found nothing about the man online via a google search.
