Question: Do you have DVD in your car? Do you know anyone that does? My Answer: No and no. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

The process is a bit more complicated than I had hoped: Buy car (in Ohio, in this case). Wait about four weeks for an Ohio title (from Ohio). Take OH title, vehicle, driver's license, proof of insurance to notary. Convert title to PA title. Pay taxes and buy license plates (custom or otherwise). Wait for […]

'Nuff said, I guess: Well, okay, maybe a little more: "Shadow Blue" with black ("Anthracite") leather interior.

Question: What's the worst nickname you've ever had? My Answer: "Brainy Smurf." Not because it's necessarily a bad name, but because of who was saying it, why they were saying it, and how frequently they said it. 😛 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on […]

Question: Have you ever called a 900 number? My Answer: Yeah, in college, because it was expressly forbidden and we wanted to see whether the campus phone system could track and bill the proper person. Of course, we did it in a friend's room when he wasn't there, and then denied all knowledge of the […]

I've spent a large portion of the past two days doing Touareg research. It seems that the early 2004s were essentially rolling lemons (and sometimes they refused to roll!), but that the bugs were squished and the late 2004s were solid, and the 2005s even more so. Never buy a first-generation product! At any rate, […]

Question: What's your favorite programming language? Why? My Answer: Objective-C, and probably because I've done the most work with it. It's easy to look at, easy to debug (relatively), and easy to write. C naturally follows right after Obj-C. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or […]

Carey and I test drove some cars today. By that, I mean that I test drove them. Carey watched Little One. I drove the X3 and it was priced at about $35k with whatever options it had. The ride was stiff and it didn't offer much - I would estimate that you're paying $5k for […]

Question: Do you know Java? My Answer: Very little. I've never had much need for it. 😛 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

I've not narrowed down the specifics of this bug, but it's affected me multiple times. The basics are this: I'm signed in to TypeKey via "keep me logged in" (for two weeks, supposedly). I visit this site and post a comment as a logged-in user (i.e. no name and email address text field in the […]

Good news: Implemented blog-level setting for basename length limit. (Weblogs that are upgraded to 3.2 are configured to use the previous default of 15 characters. New weblogs get a default setting of 30 characters.) I'm now satisfied. I had complained about this before.

I just configured the ideal Hummer H3. It includes the towing package, the Luxury package (6-disc CD changer, leather seats, and better speakers), and a few other little things (like the sunroof). Total MSRP, not counting some little things like splashguards and crossbows: $34,075. Wow, I didn't know they were that cheap. Do they still […]

Get some nice 16 x 16 buttons here. Suitable for blogs, forums, and other such sites, these icons are free and cover a variety of things.

Need some? Want some? Brad is keeping a list of CoreData Tips. It may not beat the other lists out there, but then again, that's not the point… I've yet to get into CoreData too much - far too many legacy projects - but I plan to get deeply involved in it quite soon. I […]

Question: What is your favorite flavor Pop-Tart? Or do you eschew all "breakfast in a tin-foil bag" type meals? My Answer: Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.
