The worst thing about Detroit
The worst thing about Detroit isn’t the guns or the violence (although they can be bad at times), it’s the stupid behaviour of the city council. Drew and Mike replayed bits and pieces of the event, and quite honestly I’ve lost all respect for anything good coming out of that group. The amount of catty [...]
Evening news explained
News: Forget the cake and ice cream, [story about an older lady jumping out of a plane teaser before commercial]
J: I hope she made it
C: Of course she made it. It’s the bottom of the hour.
J: Yeah?
C: Yeah. If the didn’t make it: top of the hour. If she did make it: bottom of the [...]
Never thought I’d ever say this
In the list of companies I thought would “get” Open Source software, never did I expect Novell to top that list. And top it they have. Netware will now run as a service on top of their SuSE product. Also Novell is planning a corporate-wide move to Open Office. Perhaps corporations are finally realizing that [...]
Congrats to Bob Seger and Prince!
Yeah, it’s a bit late, but congratulations to Bob Seger and Prince for their recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course it would be nice to see another band get into the hall of fame, since they practically influenced every working musician nowadays.
Just my luck
I bought some CDs ths past weekend at Birch Run. They were Trio disc sets, with three CDs each of Mendelssohn and Mozart. Unfortunately I wasn’t as sharp as I should have been, because the mendelssohn package contains two of the second disc! ARGH! This isn’t the first time this has happened to me. When [...]
Spring?
Spring is supposed to happen on Saturday, but of course during the week before spring, we have snow and 30F temps. Gotta love midwest weather. Winter is like a bad guest. It never comes when it’s supposed to, and it never leaves when it’s supposed to. Shoo, winter!
Starbucks Music
Great, maybe Starbucks can do for music what they did for coffee. “No, sir, you’re not ordering it right”. Choice quote of the article is of course from Vivendis Interscope chairman: “Companies like this can move an attitude. This is where digital music will take off.” Uh, no sir… digital music has already taken off. [...]
Anyone have experience with bettas
Marty, our betta, is now sporting something of a fish pot belly nowadays. I’m not sure if it’s the sign of something like dropsy (which I don’t think so, because his scales are still flat against his body) or if it’s because I’m overfeeding the little pig (twice a day, sometimes more when he’s dancing [...]
There’s a sale at JCPenney’s
It’s bad enough that I get lots of SPAM, but it’s even worse when that company is a well known company. JCPenney has taken to spamming me. What’s even worse is there is no wat to get off of this list. The links for removal are broken, and e-mailing them is impossible. I’ve stopped shopping [...]

- snapl: @t3knomanser: I would like the ability to delete a post, only because sometimes it posts twice.
