A few weeks ago I mentioned that the Logitech Harmony 520 caught my eye. A friend of mine mentioned that he could get me the Harmony 880 for about the same price as the 520. I took him up on the offer. Unfortunately, I may be returning it soon. The remote set up easily, but […]

Carey and I did a little "remodeling" in the master bathroom this past weekend. After several (several) weeks of delays, and after using another bedroom as a bit of a dry run (we painted it green about a month ago), we finally got around to redoing our master bathroom in a "honey wheat" color. The […]

The Steelers played arguably the worst team in the NFL (the Bengals and the Cardinals can breathe a sigh of relief, as can the 49ers) today: the Houston Texans. Every time David Carr looks like he's about to break through, he gets slammed on his back. Something like 151 sacks in 45 games. The Steelers […]

Question: Have you ever crashed a wedding? My Answer: Yep. I was leaving another wedding ceremony, had four hours until the reception I was going to, and saw a wedding and reception just starting down the street. So I went, sat on the groom's side, and helped myself to some of the food at the […]

Question: Without looking, what would you guess the 125th best player on the PGA Tour earned last year (125th on the money list)? My Answer: I know the answer.

Upper Peach Street is, for all intents and purposes, the consumer-centric portion of Erie. It has "the mall" and "the movies" and "the restaurants" and it's everyone's destination on Friday nights. (Of course, this is Erie, so everyone is gone by 10pm or so.) An area south of "the mall" (Millcreek Mall) has been, for […]

Okay, so more than one giant computer company has a sense of humor. Sun shows us some of their rejected ads and Microsoft foists Office 12 with brushed metal and Aqua-like components on Windows users. The difference? Sun is laughing with their customers, while Microsoft is seemingly laughing at them.

Question: Do you think that the iMovie Store (or iTunes Movie Store) is coming? My Answer: I do, but not until mid- to late 2006, though. And, truthfully, I hope that iTunes is not forced into service as the client app, because that'd suck donkey balls. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the […]

I've spent hours, weeks, and months creating this new logo for NSLog(); and nslog.com. I call it the "NSLogo." (Get it?) It's truly original. Really, it is. I swear. I didn't copy it from anything, and I've done it all on my own. See, the color even matches the blue links and everything. Scottish Arts […]

You know, maybe it's just me, but isn't this pretty ineffective advertising? That girl is ugly!!! She looks she's part man, part monkey. Now, I'm not saying I'm hot shit or anything like that, but nearly everyone I've shown this ad to has made an unprompted remark about how odd the chick looks. She ain't […]
