A lot of my tv watching friends make fun of me of watching this show, but really, Battlestar is a great show, much better than a lot of the other crap on the boob tube (although, there is more and more good stuff these days). Anyway, I digress.

The show is in its final season and, as I just found out from the BSG website on scifi.com, starts up again on January 16th. Also coming out this year is a BSG movie, with a spin off show called Caprica starting next season. I can’t wait!

Last Friday, Apple released iTunes 8.0.2 and let me tell you how happy I am! With the previous version of iTunes on my MacBook, I had to suffer through what felt like an eternity of spinning beach ball of death every time I opened iTunes. At first, I thought it was because I had moved my music collection to a network drive, but after speaking to Zameer and googling, I soon realized that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this pain.

After the update, iTunes loads instantly and is ready to perform any command I tell it. It is also much faster when scrolling my (medium sized => ~2000 songs, 14GB) music collection, switching tasks, downloading podcasts, etc…

If you are experiencing any slow downs in iTunes, you would probably benefit a great deal by updating.
