New Apple Store

Jamie notes the new store.apple.com. She's a bit polite with "I can't say it's much of an improvement." I would tend to agree. It looks a bit cluttered. I hope that customers will find it useful, but I miss the big blocky "click me!" icons for each of Apple's four main hardware products. At least […]

Ugh

This may be the only entry I post today due to, well, I'll get into it later. Update: Here's a retelling of what's happened. It all began back when my Interland server/hosting account was moved from a Freedom to a VPS account. The move went fairly well, and I had my old server, with an […]

QotD: Old Age Ailments

Question: If you could avoid one physical ailment in your old age, what would it be? My Answer: I would avoid arthritis. I do not want anything to hurt when I sit down, when I get up, when I sneeze, when I uncap a bottle, when I drive, or when I hug my wife extra […]

Bending it Like Beckham

Last night I saw Bend it Like Beckham with my friend Jen. The movie, nearly two hours long, offers nothing terribly new from a macro view: character struggles to overcome adversity, tradition, and a well-meaning-but-misguided family and succeeds in the end, maturing as an individual. However, zoomed in a little, flecks of originality abound. The […]

iChat and AIM

Tom Coates talks about iChat and some improvements he'd like to see made. First he talks about how iChat lacks groups (something I use in Adium and simply require of an AIM client), and how iChat might manage groups with different windows. He goes on to say… … then I started thinking about the other […]

QotD: One Additional Holiday

Question: If you could add a holiday to the calendar, what would it be and why? My Answer: I would add a silent holiday - a day in which you weren't supposed to talk to anyone, or say much of anything. Radios and televisions would go down for the day, and people could use the […]

OneWord: Reflect

Reflect is the OneWord for today and I like to reflect on my life. I'm in a new quasi-relationship, I'm starting a new job, and my Cherry Coke isn't quite cold yet. I reflect in more than mirrors (if I didn't I suppose I'd be a vampire or something). Ponds too. Jamie uses Ponds face […]

As if the world needed more, the discussion following the commentary on Dave's CSS rant shows what an immature ass the guy is and always has been.

Four Movies with Jen

For a so-called movie fan, I sure as hell don't seem to know much about the movies. For example, Jen asked me which of the following four I want to see with her tonight> Bend it Like Beckham Lilya 4-Ever Better Luck Tomorrow The Young Unknowns God help me but I've never heard of any […]

Safari Window Sizing

Annoyed that Safari sometimes forgets your preferred window size? Here's an AppleScript (great for ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari) and a bookmarklet that will resize your browser windows for you.

Today I was trying to find an entry today in my blog's "back end." I typed a search term in the top box, hit my keyboard's enter key, and found 0 resuls. So I typed a different search term into the search box provided in the search/replace page. Shortly thereafter the word FUCK came forth […]

Comments in Feeds

Steve, who shouldn't mind that I'm "laying the smack down" on him since he lists this as something he likes to do in this same entry, asks me to put comments in my RSS feeds. No!

My Top 10 Safari Issues

I, like many, have been using Safari for some time now. I've compiled a list of my top 10 feature requests and bugs. It's reassuring to know that many of my top features/bugs are also on the list of most duplicated bug reports/feature requests. Is Safari still a beta? Yes, simply because Apple says so. […]

QotD: Tombstone

Question: If you could decide what will be written on your tombstone, what will you have inscribed? My Answer: I want to be cremated (why would I want to take up space? I'm dead for crissakes), so perhaps I'll have this put on my urn: "Instant Erik™ - Just add water." You are encouraged to […]

OneWord: Actually

Actually is one of those words that people use when they want to be snobby and correct someone. "Actually, you are wrong" they say. "Actually, it's 42%" they say. "Actually, I'm quite good in bed." Ha, okay, so I wanted to have something that was a little provocative. After all, the rain did arouse me. […]
