A few words concerning the set up on my PowerBook G4.

Short User Name
The installation procedure asks me for my short user name.

What's that? Where will it show up? Will I be able to change it?

These are questions that will remain unanswered.

How Do You Connect To The Internet?
I normally use my cable modem, but since this Mac is so new, I haven't had a chance to set this up. I figure that I'll just plug in the phone line and let the Mac dial into an 800 # to complete my registration.

But no.

Since I told it that I use a phone, it now wants to know my Internet provider. But I don't have a dial up Internet provider.

I guess they don't let the computer dial up using a phone # any more.

Internet Set Up.
This is great. The screen says if you have questions, "Ask you network administrator."

That's a good one. It's only me here in this room.

Set Date and Time
The computer says, "You cannot set the date and time while using a network time server."

Huh?

Getting My Cable Modem Working
Go to Network

Change to Built-In Ethernet

But, the Apply Now button isn't lit.

Go down to DHCP Client Name and delete whatever is in that field. A client name isn't needed.

[TAB]

Apply Now is available.

Click it

Open Explorer.

Success! I'm on the Internet.

iPoding | What's that in your pocket?.
It's like when you buy a car, all of a sudden you notice them on the road.

Now that I have an iPod, I've been finding a lot of websites devoted to this little gem.

Big news here at home.

I got an Apple PowerBook and an iPod!

I've got a lot of things to share with you about my experiences.

But the most exciting thing is that the iPod rocks!

I'm taking a break from installing everything at the the iPodlounge.com : All Things iPod.

Erik Marcus Tastes The First BK Veggie.

...after nearly fifteen years without eating fast food, it felt surreal to unwrap a burger with the Burger King logo on it. It was a nice looking product. The funny thing about this is I’m not a fan of veggieburgers in general. But I bit into it, and it was delicious.

Mmm...Veggieburger with a side of large fries.

$1 Million Chicken Florentine Panini.
I'm sure that the sandwich tastes good, but $1 Million is a little high for my tastes. I think I'll just open a can of tuna.

I have a good idea, I'll put up a web site, documentedlife.com, with pictures of me from every year of my life. When you click on each picture, you'll get a detailed view of me.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me!

Week 12 - Stand Up for Your Life: Fulfill your greatest potential - Cheryl Richardson.

Instead of being trained to follow the rules that may have crushed your spirit, imagine what your life would have been like if you had been taught these instead:

Stop apologizing when you've done nothing wrong.
Be courageous.
Think big.
Be ambitious.
Don't be modest.
Be seen and heard.
Be enthusiastic.
Be proud of who you are and what you know.
Keep your expectations high.
Go for it!
