From left to right:

• Safely Remove Hardware; my cousins had a mac that used to say "You may now turn off your Macintosh safely." I couldn't resist saying, "I thought it was a Macintosh SE, not a Macintosh Safely." I was a regular Oscar Wilde.
• iTunes: I don't even want to know what the title of the current STP song playing means: Meatplow. Next up, a song by the 1-Drop, a reggae band fronted by Mike Opitz of CSB/SJU faculty fame. A man so dedicated to teaching he once taught class with a concussion. That was a wild day.
• Steam: Do you think Valve spies on me?
• OpenOffice: I let OO hang out in my tray, ready to go. MS Office has to start up from scratch. HA.
• Palm: HotSync This.
• ZoneAlarm: I love the 'internet monitor' bars on my ZoneAlarm helper. Makes visual my computer's chitchat with the web. The firewall has blocked 554 access attempts. Ping that!
• AIM: I signed up for AIM so students could contact me more easily. I don't have any buddies yet.
• Dell E support: The Dell support program (which seems to use Enron's E) makes a wicked loud VROOM sound when it alerts you to impending computer doom. It makes an equally loud MOORV sound when it goes away.
• HP Photosmart Printer: My photo printer sits dormant, unplugged, unloved.
• MSN Messenger: Go away, I'm busy blogging.
• Dell A940: That next grey box is the icon for our printer/scanner center thing. Jenny was skeptical about its size at first, but has come to enjoy having a photocopier and fax machine in the house.
• HP Photosmart Printer: Photo printer's still not hooked up.
• Pentax DeviceDetector: Neither is my digital camera.
• Creative SoundBlaster Sound Control: My soundcard has its own cool volume slider. No lame-o Windows XP slider for me. No sir.
• Time this work break ended: 12:47am. Time I get to go to bed: Avery's next feeding (could be any minute or another hour and a half).
