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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
