All I wanted to do was make short recordings. Sometimes, it’s the cat, so that P. can share in the joy that is his needy, scream-y, pathetic, attention-starved kitteh when kitteh decides it’s high time for deh-day to be home. Sometimes, it’s to force P. to actually listen to the reason I’m up all night, […]
The spam filters on my ISP mail account are so strict that they’re only slightly short of a whitelist and everything else straight to the trash. I never give out that address, but other morons do, plus the sonsawhores at Charter sold our addresses, and then there’s the drooling mouth-breather who accidentally gave my address […]
I shouldn’t get too upset about these because there is a sort of logic to the error, but it still makes me cringe to read them, especially first thing in the morning, and if people would look a little closer, it would make sense and they’d get it correct. Good old apostrophe “s”, the simple […]
P. used to say it drove him crazy when people would send him stuff from the Internet because he’d seen it all a thousand times before, but that’s no longer true. He spends so much time with Matt Drudge and mAnn Coulter now that he’s lost touch with pop culture, and especially Internet memes (which, […]
Oh thank Christ! Aside from the fact that having “mob” in your company name sounds more like you’re going to put a horse head in my bed or break my knees than simply annoy me with advertising on my mobile phone, I hate AdMob. I clearly understand that stuff costs money, and that if I’m […]
Apparently, Windows 7 has some new functionality that had historically required additional software (apparently, something called Unlocker would do it, and there were others mentioned as well). Instead of just refusing to rename or move or delete (or whatever) a file and leaving you to click “Ok”, it’s actually going to tell you what application […]
When I heard the sound for a new text last night, I glanced at the clock and wondered who’d be sending me a message so late. Curious, I picked up the phone to look, and I was immediately pissed off. One. I pay for wireless service, not ad-supported wireless service, and I pay a lot […]
I love my iPhone. That said, like most cameraphones, it performs rather poorly in dim light. I already knew the 2.0mpx camera was only so-so, but didn’t care because the point of a cameraphone is that you’ve always got it with you; it’s not supposed to perform like a Nikon D90. If I want to […]
There was a topic on Reddit this morning that said, “Write this joke: Ben & Jerry create ‘Yes, Pecan!’ ice cream flavour for Obama. For George W., they created ______.” If what I read is true, then Ben & Jerry’s really did rename their Butter Pecan ice cream to “Yes Pecan!” for Obama, which is […]
It’s a small world after all…celebrating a (three days late) Mexican El dÃa de Reyes (complete with Baby Jesus baked into sweet bread, courtesy of Adalberto) with an American and a Canadian, plus copious amounts of Swedish vodka and German beer, Romanian pop and Bulgarian chalga. Christ…now I’m gonna have that goddamned Disney song stuck […]
