I just read this and thought, “Who really neeeds this?” For all these so-called tips and encouraging to make yourself into a pain in the ass for nursing homes everywhere, one’s missing. It should be obvious. Why are they discussing leaving Mom or Dad in harm’s way after they brought you up? Why are [...]
Good on the IRA and all involved in this.
Now, will the Loyalist paras do the same? They’re every bit as much terrorist organizations as the IRA. I’ve never understood why they’ve never been called by their true name and even go by the much more righteous-sounding “loyalists”. But as thisop-ed piece says, the IRA [...]
She’ll be here Saturday. And all people can think about to complain about at work is gas prices as if that were the biggest disaster to ever strike humanity. I’m a bit tired of the anti-government blame game as well. The persons to blame for this are every person who’s ever created any iota [...]
They came in today at my local Mac Specialist. They called my cellphone while I was at the coffee shop after work. I hurried down to 22nd Street just before 6PM and picked it up, my new iPod Nano. I haven’t succumbed to another iPod since my early adopter behavior of the original that came [...]
It’s kind of nice to have one of these again. It opens doors I didn’t fully appreciate when they were open. Vast library resources are suddenly before me. And it’s kind of nice to know my work ID will get me into the main library year round, though I still can’t borrow books with it [...]
It was a pretty neat trick there how Bush managed to nominate Roberts to Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Neat trick, being in the midst of a huge natural disaster and the press that’s gotten. Neat… and obvious. It drives home how Bush never takes his eye off the prize: his own [...]
What a day I’ve had. It’s a bit of a convergence of the latest news for me and nationally.
Thursdays are conference days at work so that’s how it started, with a coffee and English muffin. It’s the only day of the week I don’t need to scarf something down at 530AM. So I sat [...]
This is a test run to see how this desktop blogging software works.
Taking a page from this guy’s blog, here are 10 Mac apps not on a regularly shipping Mac that rock my world. And this is freeware or shareware as well:
Transmit: FTP and file browser by Panic that looks as great as it works. One of the reasons I dropped Dreamweaver. I use it every day [...]
I have just made my first screen saver for the Mac with Quartz Composer from Xtools. Of course since I have never written a line of code in my life, I had to use one of the templates. It isn’t a very good screen saver since I don’t know what more than half of the [...]
Firstly and mildly, this site is dedicated to sharing skins that make Windows apps look like Mac apps . That’s sad. It reeks of such an inferiority complex.
An even sadder commentary on humanity is the violence and sniper shooting going on in New Orleans. The story of snipers shooting at docs trying to evacuate [...]
