Well, it's official: the real Red Hurt Machine arrived today from Dell. It took 2 delivery attempts and another phone call to Dell before I judiciously decided to have it picked up by a friend who works near the UPS store and was gracious enough to do it for me. I feel like I should post a picture, but I don't have one, so just imagine it's the laptop-equivalent of this much coolness:

Or maybe even just a little bit cooler.
Now after almost 3 hours of configuring it to my own personal standards of impeccable technological...ness, it's ready for a trip. I'll be in Cincinnati for the next 10 days celebrating the 4th with in laws. I'll probably be able to post some from there, so don't stop checking back just because I'm not at home.

Prospective thieves: someone is staying in my house. 2 someones. And they know Ninjitsu.
