Shuttle G5 8300mc
Yeah, I did it. It was a speed issue, really. I'm sick of having my work laptop be so slow from being loaded with applications, but with no other place to do webdev, sound and video editing. Also, having a powerhorse at home will let me serve web pages (Jinzora, remote desktop) off a dyndns, and subvert filtering by routing my POP/SMTP on nonstandard ports or a VPN redirector through home.

Tahoe: Squaw and Heavenly
Went to Tahoe for the annual ski trip, this time 4 days of skiing with a group of 12 guys. We stayed at the Embassy Suites (free breakfast and booze, 2 minute walk from Heavenly Gondola and several casinos). Great snow - 4-8" new every night we were there, and some patches of sun during the days. Highlights: all of Squaw Valley (but avoid the slow lifts when it's cold), Mott's canyon @Heavenly, and all the glade/tree runs. Since the area was heavily mined in the last century, apparently trees were thinned to 1 out of 3, making for perfect, long burners as we zipped between trees through untouched powder.
