Thanks to Jay for dinner at PrimeBlue this evening. Never heard of it, but it was a fine meal. Too much food was ordered but we’re both at fault. I absolutely am learning to loathe iDrive as it sucks ass. It’s clearly the “Microsoft” design philosophy: counter-intuitive at every turn. But I mostly like my […]
I am now officially a member of the Umbrella Hat Society. You can see my initiation photo here. I am member number two, and when we’re famous those low numbers are going to be legendary*. You can join easily. You just need a digital camera and an umbrella hat. I might even loan you my […]
CAR I have insurance. Yay. Tomorrow, I begin regular use of my new car. My MDX has been turned in after its inspection (passed just fine). I put the HAT TRK tag on the X5 though it’s still technically registered to the MDX. One hopes BMW is making haste with that transfer. (I have a […]
It’s here. In my driveway. Parked next to my MDX which I will turn in after I get it inspected Monday (perhaps the idiot will show up this time to do his job). Special thanks to Adrian who drove to my house at rush hour, picked me up, and drove me all the way down […]
So much to report of little to no merit. First, I wish to make you all aware of a particularly insipid piece of reality television called The Two Coreys which, last year, I watched one episode of before giving up forever. The show is, at best, a train wreck. It stars Corey Feldman and Corey […]
I love hockey. George Carlin did not. His priceless rant on it was “Hockey is not a sport. Hockey is guys trying to beat the crap out of each other while playing with a puck. In that sense it is a higher form of boxing, but it will never be a sport because of the […]
This video, which had gone viral earlier on YouTube France is scary. It’s now here for you to see. Yes, you saw correctly. You can pop popcorn using mobile phones. That bodes not well for them being next to your ear. Yeah, I’ll still use my phone. Thankfully I use hands-free BlueTooth most of the […]
Virtually all Windows PCs ship with IE, giving it a 72% share of the browser market. Firefox, which is typically downloaded rather than factory installed, has a 17% market share, followed by Apple’s Safari at 5%. This is a nice improvement over the old days when IE was well into the 90%. Firefox is slowly […]
I have switched to roman numerals for the random posts effective with this post. I know you don’t care. New photos on my Flickr photo blog again. That should clue you in my hard drive is back and mostly checked out. There will be more details later. I have made a car decision as of […]
Stupid Ass Company Number One (MacWorld Magazine): I got my current issue of MacWorld (my subscription expires September) informing me I’d been signed up for Automatic Renewal Privileges. They gave me a list of these and it’s mostly stuff that benefits them and not me. Neither here nor there. The renewal rate is $34 per […]
