John Gruber's rant back at Cory Doctorow has once again painfully reminded me how stupid otherwise intelligent people can be. Not John, but Cory - who brain farts so hard he's got to clean the bowl. Cory's like this sometimes, too. Bits of brilliance mixed in with some of the dumbest commentary you've ever seen. […]

I'm no longer an Apple employee, so I can tell you that all of these are true, along with a bunch of other things. Yes, I spent some time in south Florida as a part-time Mac Specialist at the Wellington Green store. I got discounts and a chance to get out of the apartment - […]

Question: For what purpose do you use your mobile (cell) phone? My Answer: For calling people, answering calls, and taking about ten pictures, ever. That's it. I don't browse the Web, I don't use a PDA, and… that's about it. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments […]

When I was in Florida, I had a nice little 49cc, 1.9 HP scooter. It went 45-50 MPH and got right around 100 MPG. Florida law said that you could use a standard driver's license if your scooter was < 50cc and < 2 HP. Several shops rented scooters to beach-goers and vacationers, because they […]

Question: What's your favorite kind of beer? My Answer: Guinness, Killians Irish Red, or Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, in that order (roughly). I'm far from a big fan of beer, and really only drink it when I must. That works out to about three times per year. You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]

Question: What is your favorite activity? My Answer: Playing golf. When I can't do that, I enjoy writing about golf. Of course, I prefer anything that involves Carey more, even if it's just watching a movie, but for my own sake I've defined activity as more a physical activity and not simply anything you "do." […]

So, apparently, the titmouse is a bird and not a mouse at all. You know people are gonna call that nub the nipple. It's just bound to happen. You can't avoid the inevitable.

They say that getting married and buying a house are some of the most stressful things you can do. Carey and I eliminated the stress in getting married by doing it on the cheap and easy, but we knew that the whole "find a house, buy a house, move in, take care of a house" […]

The dog park I mentioned back here is still not open. It really makes me re-consider doing this.

Question: What do you think of the Mighty Mouse? My Answer: I like it. If it would optionally come standard on the pro models, that'd be great. It won't make me give up my Logitech MX-700, though. I have too many buttons programmed for too many different applications, and I rarely - if ever - […]

I've signed up with O'Reilly Connections. If you'd like to do add me as a "connection," go ahead and do so. The five people I tried to locate weren't on the service yet.
