What I spend my evenings doing…

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

I’ve been a Lego addict for, well, forever. The need waxes and wanes — as a child I played with my Lego so much that the school had me meeting with a psychologist who was concerned that I didn’t have any friends. At least I assume that’s why I was seeing her. Anyway, I’ve bought […]

So, back in January, at MacWorld, a guy out in front of the center handed me a flyer. Anyone who has been to MacWorld knows that folks are constantly trying to hand you brochures and information sheets, and occasionally glossy pictures of strippers. Most of the time I politely refuse, but I took this one […]

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: My latest business venture…

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

I know there’s been a lot of excitement in the Macintosh developer community lately, as long time Apple employees have left the company to go into business for themselves as independent Macintosh developers.

Please accept my apologies.” Australian: “Crickey, I […]

I took this picture in Nebraska a few weeks ago.

My thought was: Wow. Finally, someone has decided to go after the vast “Sinner” constituency. Most politicians act like they’re above sin; finally, one has decided to embrace the sinners and get all of them to vote for him. My suggestion, though, is that the guy should put his name on his yard signs. Kind […]

I’m horrible at this “blogging” thing

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

I mean, a month and a half since the last post? On the other hand, I could have been dead. Did anyone call me to check that I was alive, even though I hadn’t posted in a good six weeks? SIX WEEKS! We fricking invaded Iraq in less than six weeks; that’s a long time […]
