Well, they seem easy to me, easy enough that I'm going to post a link to them here in case I ever need to redo my Ubuntu setup from scratch. If you have a computer laying around doing nothing, you should try Ubuntu on it, and if you try Ubuntu on it (and have an Nvidia graphics card), you should try compiz-fusion on it.

Timesink alert! Viva Pinata coming to DS!
Now this is big news. I really hope the game is more successful on the DS than it was on the 360... it's certainly more likely to hit its target market on the DS. I know I'm getting two, probably three copies. It was very annoying not to be able to send pinatas to the kids, since they don't have Xbox Live accounts, but I'm assuming the DS will make it easy-peasey to send pinatas wirelessly. Let the mating and eating and trading begin! Well, let it begin sometime next year, anyway...

This is why I hate reading novels
We'd pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from Amazon.com a while back. However, as the big day approached, we realized that one copy might not actually do it, since both Maria and I wanted to read it as soon as possible to avoid spoilers, and Anna wants to read it promptly as well (having just finished Half-Blood Prince).
So, profligately (is that a word), Maria bought a copy Saturday at Barnes & Noble, before delivery of our Amazon.com copy. She started reading it on the way back from the book store. Once the post office delivered the second copy, I started reading that.
I read it Saturday night, parts of Sunday during the day(including during a drive to the mall), and then in a final push to finish it up, stayed up last night until one-bleeping-ten AM. Remember, I'm supposed to wake up at 4:45AM to go running. I decided that that would be a Very Bad Idea and "slept in" until 6AM.
You just don't run into that situation when you're reading Editing Techniques for Final Cut Pro or DHTML for Dummies.
PS: spoiler-free brief review--it was very good.
