strangely entangled

As I mentioned previously, UPS nailed me with an excessively large brokerage fee on a jacket that I recently purchased from a US company. So, I was happy to hear that I’m not the only one, and that a Vancouver law firm has launched a class action lawsuit against UPS Canada.

From what I’ve learned since, UPS only charges these brokerage fees on ground shipments. Somehow, items shipped by air are mysteriously exempt. I hope these guys win. Charging $79 to import a $130 jacket is insane.

We went out for dinner last night and walked past an episode of Smallville in the making, just two blocks from our place. I overheard one of the crew explaining what was going to happen during the shoot:

First, we’ll stand around and wait while they decide what they want to shoot.

Then, they’ll start to shoot, change their minds, and discuss it some more.

Next, there will be a lot of standing, followed by a lot of waiting.

And just when you think they’re ready to go, there will be more standing and waiting.

I’m looking for a good time-tracking/billing program for the Mac that supports multiple users. Does such a thing exist? Most of the solutions I’ve seen out there are for single web developers. I’d like something that would allow Nat and I to log time spend on projects in one location.
