Welcome back to the Dive Into Mark show! We got a Roomba, the dog is in hiding, the kids are asleep, and I finally shaved. Mmmm… smooth.

In local news, the police installed a speed trap right outside my house, just in time for July 4th weekend. Hey, thanks! Unfortunately for them, the tens digit is broken, so it shows “Your speed: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…” I feel safer already.

Last week, Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing.net announced that he was also switching to Ubuntu after 22 years of servitude to Apple. I think I see the pattern. Cory Doctorow is such a hard-core Mac user that he actually has a Sad Mac icon tattooed on his bicep. And I thought I had migration problems.

In response to last week’s show, Dan Ridley writes, “Okay, I feel totally gypped. I downloaded your video, watched it, and at no point during the video did I actually see bunnies.”

Did I mention we got a Roomba? It’s totally awesome. It was actually a birthday present for my wife. Don’t look at me in that tone of voice. It’s what she asked for. I tried to talk her out of it. We’re still trying to decide what to name it, but my wife has announced that it is definitely a boy. She says she knows it’s a boy because of the way it waggles its butt when it goes back to its home base.

I went to BJ’s this weekend to buy a ridiculous amount of everything, and I parked next to a car that had a bumper sticker that read, “Sorry I missed church, I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian.” Apparently, this has been a popular bumper sticker for some time, but living in North Carolina, this is the first I’ve seen of it.
