This is hilarious because it’s true.
One of the biggest reasons I use a Mac– or at least the one that’s easiest to explain– is because of how they look. Someone cared enough to make them pretty. Their caring, makes me care for my machine. Cheap PC terminals are so ugly, so clueless in what I [...]
I had to work Sunday. Working weekends is the worst, not only because of the weirdness of being at work when everyone else is off, but because they’re only 12 hour shifts (to cut down on the number of people who need to be there) and everything is unscheduled. You either run all daw or [...]
In iCal, I had written an event for myself to remind me that the NetFlix trial was to expire tomorrow. I set it to send me an e-mail by way of alarm. And then I forgot about it.
I got home today after work and set my iPod nano on my desk while I read the [...]
I just got back from the bookstore where I got my latest LP Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Another book I saw there on the rack was a small volume entitles The History of Italy. What in all the world? Where do you begin a history like that? The history of Italy is that of [...]
I hate when I get it, a hankering for something new even if I don’t need it. I bought a new iMac last May and I did need that. I’d been planning a new computer purchase for a while since I’d been living off a 12-inch iBook G3 as a primary computer.
Now that I [...]
On a day the suburbanites stayed away, city folk were out in the frozen streets and having snowball fights in the parks. I guesstimate 6-8 inches fell overnight in the city proper.
This is what was bound to happen, comments like this. It’s just an award, get over it. What makes you think you deserved it so much that you have to come up with excuses on why you didn’t. Shut up! Having a so-called comeback and helping the academy name the nominations doesn’t by definition make [...]
The night belonged to the world’s biggest, best, and greatest rock band. I didn’t expect them to win Album of the Year because usually someone I hate does (this year the winner of the most hated category is surely Mariah Carey). Remember that Ray Charles fiasco last year? But I’m glad U2 got it. Kanye [...]
I just bought a new external drive, 320GB worth of space. Along with my existing 250GB, that’s a lot of space. But DVR etc is the future and it’s only a matter time before we can record easily from the television to the computer directly. Rumblings from Apple sound like something may be in the [...]
A lot of work later, the layout is almost once again as I want it. I changed the header picture, figured out how to include a title in the php but made invisible in HTML, reordered the sidebar, reincluded the RSS link, reformated the byline, and brought back the calendar. The last thing I need [...]
This sucks. It really does. Essentially, it’s the weekend. But at any time, at any moment between 7AM and 7PM, that phone could ring and it could be people at work saying I have to come in to do a case. If called in, you could be there an hour, you could be there 12. [...]
I updated the blog without thinking about it closely and have now lost a lot of the layout I had worked so hard to get. I hate when I do things like this. The worst part is the newer Word Press handles layout files differently, in theme clusters. It’s supposed to avoid this exact [...]
