I have made a decision to switch to WordPress because Blogger Beta pretty much bites ass. It’s slower and has too many quirks. All my e-mails to tech support resulted in a 100% response rate: zero. And all of the bugs remain and now they’ve announced they’re coming out of beta and going live. It […]
Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t . — Old TV Commercial (Mounds & Almond Joy) Well I came across this on someone else’s blog. Now, I can’t remember whose blog it was so I can’t give them credit. However, this item of clothing is so cool, it is noteworthy. Yes, a bright […]
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, there came a dripping at the ceiling’s tile. Right. Enough Poe, I agree. So about six months ago, I found a small water-stain in my living room ceiling, about the size of a nickel. It looked old, so I ignored it, and then finally […]
I am writing this to see if anyone out there among my friends, colleagues, or random blog-readers may be able to assist me in locating two items at regular price. I don’t want to go to e-bay and bankrupt myself buying this stuff at auction — I’ve seen those prices, I’m not interested. I’d much […]
I have not had much to say in public, but I’ve had lots to say in private as my friends know. Anyway, thanks to Jose, I have this link wherein SCO was officially and legally flamed yesterday by the judge and told to stuff it where the sun don’t shine. The dance is pretty much […]
Here’s an e-mail I sent today, with the name removed to protect the innocent. Hey 🙂 So I got your holiday card today. And it’s really funny on two levels. First, it’s the type of lowbrow humour I enjoy. You know I like to make fun of the Hellidays, and this year was no exception. […]
The subject says it all. I woke up sneezing blood. That prompted me to fax the doctor at 6am “Call me when you come in!” I now have antibiotics for my sinus infection coupled with bronchitis. I also have a side order of laryngitis, but that’s just a bonus ailment: contract two, get a third […]
The whole article is here, but I am going excerpt from it. Yes, the long rumoured move is about nigh! The Beatles come to your iPod. And that may prompt me to buy another iPod. I had one, you know, and then I sold it on eBay. Well, you’ve all seen the cool black U2 […]
(No spoilers) Let me first start by saying I read all of Fleming’s Bond books some years ago, and was dismayed at what Bond had become. This is not to say I didn’t think Brosnan wasn’t a great Bond, he was. However, the Bond they wrote for him did not have the true spirit of […]
This is a double-review of both “Young and Revolting” the (apparently) last Nick Twisp book and “Revoltingly Young” the story of Nick’s younger brother. CD Payne has an interesting style, and if you’re reading this review, I can only assume you’ve read the original “Youth in Revolt” which is an utter classic. Nick Twisp begins […]
