Obligatory update

So, the house buying process is proceeding with only a few minor bumps. The bank sent their appraiser on Friday, and there was a termite inspection today. The only thing left that I have to help coordinate is the HOA inspection, which I just found out today actually has to be set up by the home owner, or at least he has to empower me to handle it.

I’m driving down to LA on Saturday, and it appears as though I’ll have a passenger, at least for the drive down… Lynda… but she’ll be doing homework. The last few times I’ve driven down, I’ve used my laptop as a very large iPod, basically, with powered computer speakers plugged into a power inverter… the whole apparatus resting in my passenger seat. With the passenger seat going to be occupied by a human this time… I wonder what I’ll do…

Oh, I know! She’ll bring her TiBook, right? I’ll set mine up in the back seat, start up iTunes 4, and host a local Airport network. Then, she can use her laptop on her lap, plug that into the speakers, and use Rendezvous sharing in iTunes to listen to my MP3s! It’s brilliant! It’s geeky! It’s perfect! It’s… overkill.

Oh well. Maybe I could just buy an iPod before Saturday.

Nah…
