And what about the election

And, if it makes any difference, I was for the republican governorship candidate (Crist) this election. I don’t often support Republicans but sometimes you have to go for the right candidate and not the right party. Don’t ever let it be said, I’m so stubborn I won’t vote for the other team. And how is […]

Screw The Terrorists: Kill ’em all and let God sort it out

Another bad day — at least it was for normal people everywhere. It’s stories like this that make you think genocide isn’t the worst idea ever. How on earth can someone think blowing ten airplanes full of innocent people out of the sky is a smashing-good idea? What is the mind-set for that? How can […]

Misplaced Comma costs $2.13 million dollars

Life is good. Yes, grammar has struck a blow for itself. Rogers Communications is expected to lose $2,130,000 because of a misplaced comma in a contract. Yes, the world’s most expensive comma. I always espouse good grammar and ridicule people who screw it up (normal typos excused). However this is what we call ‘priceless’ — […]

Another PC Users Bites the Dust

As everyone knows, I am slowly changing the world one person at a time. How? By convincing the intelligent ones to use Macintosh instead of PCs with Windows. The intelligent ones just get it. They may not switch right away, but with an open mind and after trying it they switch. I’ve converted a number […]

Health Alert: Acid Reflux, Aciphex, Tinnitus, and Vocal Cords

If you don’t care about me or my health, you can skip right over this post and read the other stuff in this blog. It’s far more interesting and less disgusting than this post. If you know me, you know I’ve got Acid Reflux disease. Common and not much to say about it really. I’ve […]

Friendship

My semi-friend (ex-friend?) Josh said we were doing something this morning and, as usual, he neither called nor e-mailed leaving me sitting at home with nothing to do. (And I even sent a follow up e-mail to remind him.) He’s stood me up a number of times, and that’s pretty much what led me to […]

Harry Potter Actor to Be Naked on Stage

(Newer blog entry with photos here). Wow, now there’s news I never expected unlike yesterday’s non-news that N-sync‘s Lance Bass is gay. I mean anyone who didn’t see that coming is dumber than President Bush. Not that I have plans to go see this play, ’cause I’m not sure I have any interest in it, […]

Schadenfreude and Airbus re-unite yet again

I had previously blogged this: More on Airbus Crashes: Schadenfreude Life is good if you hate Airbus. Now they’re having fuselage problems. They’re trying to minimize the publicity, but a fuselage problem is a very serious problem. Anyone who gets on one of these planes is nuts. They’re going to force that thing out the […]

Why Dell Sucks

Why Dell Sucks was my original anti-Dell blog post. So, I am now experiencing a huge, joyful rush of schadenfreude* at this news: Shares of Dell Inc. plunged to their lowest level in nearly five years Friday after the world’s largest computer maker slashed its second-quarter earnings outlook below Wall Street’s estimates, blaming its aggressive […]

The latest on my roof

Yes, there has been progress of a sort. I have the world’s slowest roofer, you know. I’m sure you’ve been reading the saga here with keen interest*. I’ve not been posting the ongoing details for fear of running off my remaining blog visitors. However, after many missed promises and delays, the base roof is done. […]
