This is probably going to be really short.I had a dream last night where I got to see the Apple Tablet that is supposedly being announced tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I expect that it will be announced, but I have no idea what it will be. In my dream, the tablet was pretty lame. It didn't do anything that a Mac or an iPhone couldn't do. I was ( Read more... )

I think I've known it for a while now... The grade-school holiday play is dead. I don't mean the Luke 2 play. Only Private schools do that, and public schools have had people shouting about it for more than half a century. I mean the pseudo-denominational plays that are Christmas plays. When I was in 2nd grade, I played "Tony the Pizza Man" in a ( Read more... )

I started having problems with my computer earlier this week. The file system would be very slow, then everything would hang, and I'd reboot, and it would take a LONG time to reboot. It booted a couple of times, but then it wouldn't even get that far. It would load the system, but not the Desktop, Finder, etc. Fortunately, I still had an in. I ( Read more... )

I know. You're thinking "How can you have a favorite show already, we're hardly into the second week of the season." The show that I'm thinking of though has apparently run it's season already. It feels like one of those shows that didn't quite get it's start right, and tragically feels like it may end up in that set of shows that hold a special ( Read more... )

The title was initially something along the lines of "The lag time between kids and parents". I realized that that didn't really address what I wanted to say, but only exemplifies it. by now I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of sexting. Any time a phenomenon like this happens, there's always a lot of public outcry and "How could this happen!?" ( Read more... )

I wanted to write about two things, but I don't think I wanted to write two posts, so I'm being a bit lazy ( Read more... )

I don't have a lot of experience investing. I'm not a day-trader, or even a week-trader. Hykel and I made a decision a long time ago that we weren't going to play the stock market as a gambling machine. It's a matter of thinking, studying and then buying. This is because Stocks can be a little maddening. If you're too attached to your stock prices ( Read more... )

So seriously, if you haven't heard about Amazon deleting books from Kindles remotely, you're way behind the times. Here's the short version, in the least biased terms I can offer:

Last week, Amazon was told by a certain publisher that that publisher no longer wanted to sell their books for the Kindle. It turns out that that company didn't have ( Read more... )

If you didn't know this already, I'm a pretty big fan of the internet. Like "fan" as in it's proper root "fanatic". I'm glad it's here. It's tremendously useful, and I really being able to access the vast amounts of information available.

Anyway, I've noticed something over the years and it's really started to bother me. It's about questions, and ( Read more... )
