He did a loooooooong interview with Colbert Friday night and, although he seemed about as uncomfortable as most really great musicians are when reduced to speaking mere words, he came across as a great guy.

I know the feeling.

So, instead of doing something sensible, I went into show business. Yeah, that worked. [snark, snark.]

You want to feel less dispirited? Go watch the video of Barack Obama opening the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Just went up.

Mandatory viewing. Hope restoring, even.

4 mos here. Took the time to breast feed every day before dropping her at the sitters. One day she nursed, saw the bottles for the day on the nightstand, reached for one and when I gave it to her, drained it. She still expected me to feed her and would not feed herself, so we did still have closeness. And I read to her too, more closeness. She started picking out her own books at the library when she was 18 mos, based on the covers and pictures.

Well, yes and no. "Classic" referred to the mechanism by which OS 9 and most OS 9 software could run on top of OS X. It was a combination of an OS X application which provided a sandbox, a modified installation of OS 9 which ran inside the sandbox, and un-modified OS 9 applications which ran on OS 9 within the sandbox.

Gory details here.
