I got a call from my wife this afternoon at work; she was very distressed. She had stopped off at Walmart on the way home, and while she was inside someone stole a package out of her truck that my parents had sent us. As today was our anniversary we both assumed the worst, and that someone had made off with our anniversary present. She called my mother when she got home, and found out that the package contained a pair of pants that I had left at their home a few weeks ago on a one night layover on…
“Quote Me!” macro? I posted this idea on the RU discussion group.
“Quote Me!” macro? I posted this idea on the RU discussion group. When you see a weblog post that you want to quote, you can simply click on the “quote me!” link after the post, and it takes you to your own RU desktop, with the text of that story (links, graphic links and all), placed in the text area for you to edit and comment on before posting to your own weblog. Just one more way to make blogging a bit easier, perhaps? Greg is not too fond of the idea, and offers an alternative. Hmm. Yes it is…

I just saw my first Hawai’i CD adorned with a sticker that said “Will not play on PC/Mac.” Of course I did not buy it, and would encourage others to boycott it as well
I just saw my first Hawai’i CD adorned with a sticker that said “Will not play on PC/Mac.” Of course I did not buy it, and would encourage others to boycott it as well. Fortunately it was one of those compilations that I abhor, and contained nothing that I would have wanted anyway. Wake up guys. Once a single person figures out how to crack these encryption schemes the songs will be up on Morpheus and whatever Napster replacements are out there, so all you are doing is pissing off people like me who do buy CDs and like to…

We picked up a DVD player recently, and it contained a free trial for Netflix, so we decided to give it a shot. Three weeks have passed and I still can’t figure out if I like it or not. You make a list of your 10 most wanted DVDs, and they send whatever DVD is available from the top of your list. They seem to be pretty quick with getting the new releases, but the cycle takes getting used to. They advertise “All all the videos you want for $19.95 a month.” Well, you can have three videos out at…

This is a test post to try and get the Instant Outlining coffee mug. Hmm, I’m getting the OPML mug, but cannot subscribe to my own outline. Compared the URL under my graphic to Dave’s, and see there is a difference. Here is the link to subscribe to my outline.
This past Sunday, St.
This past Sunday, St. Patrick’s day, marked the start of the three month countdown for our trip to Ireland. How appropriate. I’m thinking of using RA as the journal of our trip. Things have been so busy around here I really haven’t been able to much thought into it. What do you do when you have one of the world’s coolest technologies at your fingertips, and no time do do anything with it? I’m off to Monterey for a language conference tomorrow.
