Question: What is your least favorite thing about Mac OS X? My Answer: My overall opinion is clearly very high. I had to stretch a little for my least favorite answer, but here it goes: the inability to run the installer from the CD while using the computer to do other things (and install onto […]

I don't find the image to the right appealing in any way. I've never found women with 25% or more of their bodies covered in tattoos to be extra-sexy. I've never found goth sexy. I've never found entirely too much eyeshadow/eyeliner to be sexy. I'm a big fan of "girl next door" and whatnot, and […]

From Brent Simmons' list of "I'd Buy it If" tactics comes this: I just played the demo of your game "Rock Star" and I enjoy it immensely! 🙂 However, there is one feature that kind of ruins it for me… I think you should allow people to to turn off the "disappearing answer options." I […]

I own a small (but growing!) Mac software company. So do about fifteen of my friends, and about 35 of my acquaintances. I excel at writing software. Debugging. Customer support. Drafting and choosing icons. You know: all of the geeky things. However, I suck at marketing and PR. It struck me today that that someone […]

AT&T is now owned by Cingular. I wonder if that means I can get my Motorola v600 (or v80) sooner? Doubt it. Better coverage? Hope so (not that I'm dissatisfied as is).

Question: Have you ever been promoted (and I don't mean from counter clerk to fry master)? What was your increase in pay? My Answer: I was promoted last May, and I'm looking to be promoted again. Of course, within my own company, there's really no way to go in any direction. 🙂 You are encouraged […]
