QotD: Church

Question: Do you go to church? How frequently? My Answer: Yes. Twice a month, and only so I can play on the church league softball team. Call it sacrilegious if you'd like, but I consider myself a spiritual person, or one who believes in "more than just life here on Earth," but I have some […]

Question: Have you ever bought songs from the iTunes Music Store and been given the wrong song? My Answer: Yes, though it was some time ago. I did notice that these songs are not properly labeled, and I assume that if you bought one or two you'd get the improper one. Where can you file […]

QotD: Mail Protocols

Question: POP or IMAP? My Answer: POP all the way. Actually, POP3S. IMAP has always been tricky to set up, tricky to move, slower, and a few other things I don't particularly care for. POP has always worked, whether it's partially retrieving messages, leaving them on the server for x days, or just grabbing messages […]

QotD: Reading

Question: How many hours per day do you spend reading? How many of those hours are spent reading something without electricity running through it (i.e. on paper)? My Answer: About five to six. I typically try to read a book or a magazine for about an hour per day. Sometimes it's job related, and other […]

There's an update to the Canon Digital Rebel XT's firmware. The update (1.0.2): Fixes the phenomenon of extreme underexposure when using some lenses. Fixes the phenomenon of auto power off function failure when auto power off is set more than 2 minutes. Fixes the phenomenon of incorrect white balance when using an external flash. Can't […]

Digital Booklets and Playcounts

I have a smart playlist in iTunes that shows any song that's unplayed and/or unrated. When I import new music from a CD or buy new tunes from the music store, it reminds me to rate the songs. Every one of my 10,067 songs is rated. Still, this playlist shows one item and I can't […]

QotD: Garage

Question: What's in your garage? My Answer: My car! This is the first time I've ever had a garage. Carey's side of the garage still has junk in it - we're not quite moved in. By this coming Sunday we should be set, though. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for […]

QotD: Cell Phones

Question: How many people do you know without cell phones? My Answer: Two: Carey's parents. In five or ten minutes of thought, those are the only two people I know without cell phones. Wow. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Adult Party

Question: Have you ever been to an adult "toy" party? My Answer: No. But someone I'm married to has. 😛 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

NetFlix Again

Now that I've got my HD TV and am somewhat settled down in the new house, I've signed up for NetFlix once again. I paid more before - $19.95 and $21.95. I rented 19 movies in three months, resulting in a pretty good savings over BlockBuster, and at the currently $17.99 pricing, it should be […]

Bosch and Sears

Last night, Carey and I had to pick up a 7½" circular saw for my mom. It's listed as $29.99, on sale from $49.99. A pretty good deal. They had none. We went back to the hedge trimmer section where they had a $59.99 Craftsman on sale for $49.99. They had none. We asked if […]

QotD: Enemy

Question: Do you have an enemy? My Answer: I've always said that I don't have the time to hold a grudge. Frankly, I've always found that it's not worth the time or effort. However, I do strongly dislike two people, and they will forever be in my mind as "evil people." I don't go out […]

QotD: U.S. Open

Question: When someone says "U.S. Open" do you think of tennis, golf, or neither? My Answer: My answer is obvious. I'm just glad that usopen.com goes to the golf version of the national championship. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Opera

Question: Does anyone care that Opera 8 for Mac OS X was released? My Answer: I don't. I was interested in using alternative browsers for about a month, oohhhhhh, four years ago or so. Not anymore. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Steve Jobs: About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I […]
