I still have no time to post, but I did want to squeeze in a quickie regarding yesterday’s WWDC news (or lack thereof). Needless to say, count me among the underwhelmed. A usual, we were all expecting big things, but this seemed like WWDC 2006 reheated. Leopard looks nice, but hardly revolutionary. We’ve been waiting [...]
I’ve determined that approximately 75-80% of all technical questions can be accurately answered with the response, “Because you are a dumbass.” Examples: Q: Why isn’t my computer working?A: Because you are a dumbass.

The weather’s been insanely variable ’round here for the past couple months. Recently I took this screen shot from WeatherDock. Seriously, Mother Nature, what are you smokin’? Insanely Variable Temperatures: Good Day for Layers(click image for larger view)
Hello out there, oh loyal, faithful readers. All three of you. Just wanted to pop in and say hi. It’s been a solid month since I’ve posted anything, and that’s pretty unusual. I’ve even stopped responding to comments, which is almost unheard of. Unfortunately it’s been somewhat out of my control. Both work and life [...]

Steven Frank recently wrote: “Despite recent dramatic price drops across Apple’s line, I still hear from beloved but uninformed [...]
del.icio.us has suddenly, and for no apparent reason, begun sorting my bookmarks in reverse order. Of course the sort order always seemed completely arbitrary and impossible to configure anyway, but still I got very used to clicking things in that certain, screwy order. And now it’s backwards.

Period. And here’s why: Anytime someone screws up and even makes the tiniest attempt to try and shift the blame, it’s tacky. It’s poor sportsmanship. It’s poor form. Since everyone is spouting analogies, here’s mine: Let’s say I throw you a can of Coke. You know, you’re thirsty, and I go, “Here’s a can of [...]
Warning: Many of the links on this page are annoying as shit. Please click with care. Or at least with a sane, popup-blocking browser. Every time I click on your ad in my browser, and a popup window with some dumbass Flash presentation starts loading, and I’m sitting there waiting for you to give me [...]
This is stupid, I know, but it’s been bugging me for a long time, and I just can’t hold it in any longer: Is Apple ever going to change that tab bar at the top of their web site? ‘Cause, dude, it is so, like, Puma. So iMac G3. So Pinstripe. Ugly-Ass Tab Bar: Time [...]
