When Bill Met Steve (A Computer Love Story)

Right, this isn’t a love story. I’ve misled you. Sue me. But this is about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs of Microsoft and Apple Computer respectively and the first time they shared the stage together in over two decades. It was a relatively pleasant meeting in which they both praised each other, joked around, and […]

ACLU Launches Nationwide Action Against NSA Snooping on Americans’ Phone Calls

Don’t Spy On Me is the message from the ACLU. Follow this link, read the article, and then click the big telephone icon and add your name to the list of pissed-off people who don’t think our government should be spying on us. It’s illegal, yes, but more importantly it’s immoral. Frankly, my phone conversations […]

Guy Kawasaki

Hey, I just wanted to give you all a smile and a laugh and a good life lesson. Guy Kawasaki (he the evangelizing author of Macintosh Way) has this on his site. It’s his speech to a graduating high school class. It should be required reading. Not only is it amusing, it’s damned fine. Have […]

Miami Tops Auto Club List for Rude Drivers

I know this will come as a surprise to absolutely nobody who has ever been to Miami, but we’re now famous for drivers worse than New York and Boston. Worse? That doesn’t even seem possible. Excerpted from BETH RUCKER of Associated Press on May 16, 2006 3:53 PM EDT: Stressed Miami drivers speed, tailgate and […]

Wow, OJ really didn’t do it.

Well, we’ll never know for sure. But here’s the case: First, the Dallas Observer, has an article on 4-12-01 explaining some troubling inconsistencies with the case.

TMJ, Clicking, Tinnitus, and Roofers Redux — Eclectic Isn’t It?

Wow. What an eclectic mix of subject we have in today’s update. First, I went to the dentist yesterday because my tooth was hurting (tooth #3 if you’re counting). Not a big deal, really. Went in. They took an x-ray, saw it was infected, gave me an antibiotic and told me to come back in […]

Rob Barry’s Blog

I often visit Rob Barry’s Blog because he’s a little weird like me — which I mean in a good way of course. You should go there. Today’s gem is a reference to a letter to Dr. Laura entitled “Why can’t I own a Canadian?” It’s hysterical. And if you love the bible, you probably […]

I have roofers!!!!!!!

Yes, indeed, today the roofers finally started. So, after six months of waiting I now have less of a roof than I did after the hurricane. I am certain this is a good thing. They are removing what’s left of the old roof (except the underlying particle board) and hauling it away. They are going […]
