Question: Are your disks partitioned? Why? My Answer: Mine are not. Since moving to Mac OS X, I've seen absolutely no need to do so, and as a Mac Genius, I never advised people to do so either. It's easier, for example, to simply use an external disk as a scratch disk for video editing. […]

An article on Slate talks about how most celebrity playlists suck. After checking out a few, I agreed. I also recalled that Michael Stipe had a celebrity playlist. Neither the standard search for "Michael Stipe" or "Michael Stipe Playlist" returned the playlist. I eventually had to navigate to the home page, find the "Celebrity Playlists" […]

Joshua has accused me of stealing and lying at his blog. The facts of the matter are simple. Joshua emailed me and asked if I had stolen or otherwise used his tab code. I checked my browser history for his site and didn't find it. I replied, basically, "nope - I never visited your site." […]

Does Google have any sort of method to put its Adwords in syndicated feeds? That would be interesting.

Anyone got a Segway they'd sell to me for $500? Now there's a flop of a product, eh? The last time I've even thought about them in the past six months was yesterday when I saw one in a movie.

My Answer: This varies depending on whose blog you're reading, but I'd have to put the rating somewhere between "not at all" and "1%." Some bloggers talk only about work, some talk only about their pet cat, […]

Brent talks about something he calls "collegiality" and which I've long called "just being a good person." Collegiality is working together for a common good. It's equal parts "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" and other good bits of motherly wisdom and common sense. It's what one of […]
