Either my MacBook Pro with sketchy RAM (which only reboots about once every two weeks now) or the 10.4.7 update screwed me over. During the update it rebooted and hosed the OS.

A long time ago I ran across an awesome real-time flight tracker website and never could find it again. Usually whenever I tried googling for it, I usually found sites that were trying to sell me tickets or give me arrival times. I finally found what I was looking for, Flight Aware. It’s a website […]
