These web sites should be put in the dog house or sent back to obedience school
While editing some images in PhotoShop this morning, my home iBook (2002 vintage) went belly-up; the screen went to vertical bars and all attempts to restart produced no startup screen, no spinning of the drive. Realizing it is likely a significant hardware failure, I checked my AppleCare warranty and saw I had only 7 more […]
To add to my list of burps in the Panther-Tiger upgrade: I seem unable to print any web page from Firefox… its infinite beach ball spin, and forced quit to escape. I can print fine in other applications. I rarely print web content, but its not too much to ask for. Finder sidebar disappearing icons… […]
Ah a bump in the Mac OS X Tiger upgrade — my vopy of iPhoto is toally stuck in spinning beachball land. I’ve tried rebuilding the library, renmaming, extracing photos with iPhoto extractor, etc. It is still hosed. I might have to get a copy of iLife now and start over. I had a huge […]
I am now grooving to the tunes of the station at the bottom of the FM dial – thanks to the arrival yesterday of my new DLO TransPod. As advertised, it is simple to set up and use, and now in my truck I am listening to the tunes and talks from my iPod Shuffle […]
If there is one thing more vile than unwanted spam, it is the automated phone menu trees one is forced to navigate to deal with so called “customer service”.

Can the level of tasteless go any further down the crapper? This is “reality”? Yikes. I’m saving my pennies to purchase an uninhabited South Pacific island, off the grid. Good luck to the rest of you.
Over at Learning Circuit Blogs, Clark Aldrich pulls out the stereotyping brush and paints large swaths of badly mixed paint in “Schools hate businesses, businesses hate schools”. I will not even dignify it with a pull quote, but please jump in on the comments and send the guy some light as he is lost. Yechhh. […]
A conversation overheard in my inbox as Thuunderbird chomped through the latest flux of meaningful email: Filters: “Smell that?… Do you smell that?” InBox: “What.” Filters: “Spam, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that… I love the smell of spam in the morning… Ya know, that gasoline smell… It smells like… victory.” Just […]
Dredged from combing the junk filter folder is evidence that shows some folks have been spamming since 1938, which would be long before Al Gore’s father handed down that Internet idea to his boy: Wow, that old spam sure smells bad! It’s a good thing Thunderbird can spot it from a mile high.
My wife rightfully chided me the other night for a junior high school habit of issuing a loud yell of “bulls***” at the same time I sneeze. I have almost the same reaction when I read cruft like “Free Website Content – The Future of RSS is Not Blogs”– the claim being the majority, the […]
