I received one of those single serve coffee makers from my mom for Christmas. It’s not like I didn’t have a coffee pot at my house, but it was much appreciated. Making coffee is so much easier and making enough is better. I don’t have to make and four cups. I make and drink enough for only me.

As you know, I'm a big fan of ghost stories. Stories set in decrepit
mansions, dark castles, or creaky houses always manage to raise the
goosebumps on my arms. It's a satisfying feeling especially alone in
your darkened house snuggled up in a blanket underneath the glare of
your reading lamp. Yet, for me the spookiness of ghost stories was never translated well in
movies. I like watching them but the fear or excitement isn't the same.
Mainly, I can't look at them, but I can't look away unlike in reading
where the haunting tale focuses me to the words unwilling to look
around.Today's link take you to a marathon of blog posts. Click through and
read Arbogast on Film's January posts for some reviews and of ghostly
movies. Makes me want to watch some to get spooked out. Then, it makes
me want to read some in a cold, dark corner of my house. What's that
coming up the stairs?http://arbogastonfilm.blogspot.com/2008/12/coming-up-in-new-year.html

I wrote about my gripes of Windows v OS X yesterday. It's great and all
for the operating system to conform to your way of working and/or
expectations, but what happens when applications start going their own
way? Adobe seems to be the main culprit at making up new UI schemes,
because of trying to bridge their applications to two OS platforms. In
making their lives at porting easy, they've made some users unhappy.
I've purposely avoid Microsoft applications on my OS X machines. After
looking at the screen captures at today's link, I'll do the same with
Adobe. Plus, it's another reason to hate Flash. Is that thing dead
yet?http://adobegripes.tumblr.com/
