Question: Does your mom still exist in living form? My Answer: Yes. Though I must say that unless I consciously think of it, I picture her as being 40 and not {her-real-age}. It's very odd how we remember people in spite of the passage of time. 😛 Happy Freakin' Mother's Day! You are encouraged to […]

I've got phone book groups for Friends, Family, Hotties, Work, and General (i.e. everything else). I'm now faced with the burdensome task of trying to decide which custom ringtones to assign to each group. Friends are, quite obviously, friends. They're people that I care about quite a bit and acquaintances are in "General" or "Work," […]

Question: What's the most powerful song you can think of? My Answer: Either of the songs I mention in a post I've made here: "Hallelujah" or "I Don't Like Mondays." Both of them from West Wing, yes. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

I watched the The O.C. season finale today (while I was without internet access for seven hours) and at the end they played a song which had previously been in West Wing when Mark Harmon's character was shot. Like a Tori Amos song I've written about before this song, the cinematography, and the story combined […]

I brought home my Motorola v600 last night and attempted to set it up with my Mac. I've waited quite a while for this phone, so I was quite eager. Unfortunately, Mac OS X 10.3.3 and iSync 1.4 greeted my eagerness with this chilling reminder that not all is always well: Hrmph. Scott pointed me […]

Question: Why should marriage be a legal issue at all? My Answer: The only reason I can appreciate is that there has to be some way to legalize and enforce the health benefits of spouses. It seems to me, however, that if that could be worked out, reverting marriage to a purely religious undertaking may […]
Oddly, I've found a problem with TypeIt4Me today. A lot of our software display a "join our eList" dialog at launch time. If TypeIt4Me is installed and active and you click "Cancel" or press escape, this nearly always results in a crash. Switching back to "U.S." or another language as your input method yields proper […]

Question: Did you watch the final episode of Friends? My Answer: Shamefully, I admit that I did. The gal wanted to see it, and I obliged. But it was put on the TiVo and we skipped the commercials, dammit. I wonder how much NBC was able to to get for those slots… You are encouraged […]

Women's lib took a gigantic step forward today: the Playmate of the Year: has naturally brown hair didn't bleach it blonde has natural breasts! Sadly, the "has an IQ over 100" may have been left off the list once again, but three out of four ain't bad! P.S. She's smokin'. And I wouldn't have to […]

Question: Is it safe to say that, if you've been good friends with someone for three years (maybe even slept with them a time or two), that your other friends are aware of this first friend's existence? My Answer: Seems like the way it should be to me. Guess that's not how it works for […]

Question: Have you replaced the tires on your car? My Answer: I will be now. After 36,000 miles, the left rear tire shredded itself and is now down to the belt in one large section. I guess I'm buying new tires soon! You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in […]
In Mail, when you drag a message one way, the drawer opens on that side, and vice versa. There's a bit of a "dead zone" in the middle where a drawer doesn't open at all, but clearly that depends on the initial location of the click-down: towards the side of the window and the dead […]

I'm going to Georgia to visit my friend Kate Tuesday through Friday of this week. I haven't seen her in two years, and I owe it to her not to check email, go online, or in any way be "connected." I will be calling Brad daily to check in on PulpFiction, but our bug count […]

Question: What's the furthest you've travelled by car to be with someone? My Answer: Six hours. Tomorrow that'll be seven. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.
Just a quick note, given that I'm getting TrackBacks like this: Still no word on the beta of the new rss reader for OS X, PulpFiction. I never said there'd be a public beta. PulpFiction entered beta testing a few days early, in fact, and we've got less than 40 bugs remaining in our bug […]
