Blogging at the Dohi

Hi. I am blogging from the Dohi (IHOP spun 180 degrees). I'm blogging from my HipTop. Just seeing how long this took. About five minutes, start to finish. Not bad.

Where’s Waldo?

Cabel and Steven have a little page up with photos of all most of the people who got a t-shirt at MacWorld Expo San Francisco 2003. Check it out. I spotted Phil Schiller! I spotted a few other "famous" folks too. But hey, let's have some fun with it: who can you find and name? […]

Possibilities

I had an absolutely fabulous* time with an absolutely fabulous* dame last night. I guess Friday is the next time we'll get to hang out. The girl's a keeper, friend or otherwise, because she likes steak. 🙂 Mmmmmm. We went to see Chicago, hung out here at the apartment, ate some ice cream, and talked. […]

Same Thing

Aaron: Headin' to bed, ttyl. Aaron: doh Aaron: Headin' back to work...

World’s Thinnest Phone

Gizmodo notes the release of the world's thinnest GSM phone. From a company named Haier, the phone is just 12.9mm (about 0.511417326 inches). The P5 doubles as a voice recorder, and the photo to the right is a fake: it doesn't have a color screen. More false advertising! Well, it's not a real ad. Wait, […]

Puma Pete Phoned Home

A Puma representative named Pete (I won't post his last name) from Boston phoned me this morning and asked me to take down the image I formerly had posted to my entry entitled "More on that Vodka Ad." Pete denied that the ad was an official Puma ad or that it was running in Maxim […]

The Bushies Disagree

Saw this article today and it points out that Bush Jr. and Sr. have different points of view. In an ominous warning for his son, Mr Bush Sr said that he would have been able to achieve nothing if he had jeopardised future relations by ignoring the UN. "The Madrid conference would never have happened […]

Well okay, it's called Programming Mac OS X: A Guide for UNIX Developers, and I wonder if it's any good. I come from the Mac side of things, but at the same time, as someone who's been doing Web development for a decade or three (okay, maybe just one), I know a teensy bit of […]

Inconceivably!

I hereby nominate Inconceivably.com to be the best blog of all time. Ever. For infinity plus four. Now if only the guy would send me a login key like he says he would…

Fun with Saturation

Yesterday when I came home from some work I saw the tree near my apartment in bloom, and for once I thought to get my camera. I snapped the picture to the right (click for a slightly bigger version) and some other ones. Then I used PixelNhance (no longer available - did Apple hire these […]

Idiots on Tabbed Browsing

Anyone with half a brain realizes that KHTML is a rendering engine, not a UI framework, but far be it from the less intelligent to figure that out… I think it's interesting that people are freaking out about Safari not having a tabbed interface. Tabbed browsing most probably *will* eventually make it into the Safari […]

My Ex-Girlfriend Owes Me $900

My ex-girlfriend* owes me $900. Today, while using iChat to talk to someone with a .Mac account (I typically use Adium, which can't see .Mac users), she popped online. I haven't spoken to her since shortly after I lent her $900 (about two years ago). I wonder if she'll pay me back. I IMed her […]

Fun Email: Your Server Sucks

Got this email at my Sound Set Central email address (a site which has Sound Sets for Entourage, AIM, the Finder, etc.): Hi, Your server sucks! I have been trying to download a lousy driver for my epson 1660 scanner and every damn time I go through the tediously slow process to get the driver, […]

On Using Macros to Blog

Ben Hammersley notes here that he's trying to get some macros (Update: see first comment from Ben) working for his blog. Ignoring the fact that his blog is in UTF-8 and his page specifies "content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1," I must question the usefulness of macros when blogging.

The Tyranny of Email

Based on The Tyranny of Email I've decided to make some changes to my work habits. First, I've changed my email to check every ten minutes instead of five. Second, I've turned off the "New Mail" sound (sacrilege for the guy running Sound Set Central perhaps). Third, uhhh… Well let's just see how those first […]
