Very upset about the new PowerBook lineup. They bumped up the processors to 1.33 GHz and 1.5 GHz, which only serves to rub in my face how slow 867 MHz is. The new PowerBooks can handle up to 2 GB of RAM (the 12-inch can handle up to 1.256 GB), have FireWire 800 ports, and Gigabit Ethernet. And the price remains (semi) affordable! The iBooks have been revised, too, which means that my sister might get a better laptop than I have. *sigh*

I have so much work to do this week, it's not even funny. Syn-Tech is pushing to have their site finished this week, or at least something close to finished, which means I'll be putting in overtime tonight. My usability group is presenting on Thursday, which means I need to make all the changes for our last iteration sometime today so they can see it in-class tomorrow. I have a Content Management Systems term paper to write before Monday of next week, and it has to be one of my best papers for two reasons: (1) I wrote an amazing project proposal and I have to live up to that proposal in order to get a decent grade, and (2) since the professor is also my faculty advisor, it would probably be a good idea to impress the guy.

All this on top of my regular job, which I need to start working on now. Busy, busy, busy.
