Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

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 […]

QotD: Favorite Apple

Question: What is your favorite apple? My Answer: Granny Smith. Just the right amount of sour and sweet and crunch. They're also usually pretty big, too. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Remodeled Master Bath

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 […]

Steelers 27, Texans 7

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 […]

QotD: Wedding Crashers

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 […]

QotD: 125

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. I'm curious how close the average, non-golf fan comes to guessing correctly. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the […]

Is This Progress?

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 […]

QotD: Revolution(ary) Controller

Question: What the hell were they thinking? My Answer: I have no earthly idea. None. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Survivor

Question: Did you watch Survivor tonight? My Answer: No. But the TiVo recorded it… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Sun’s Rejected Server Ads

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.

QotD: Doctor

Question: When was the last time you visited the doctor (any kind of doctor)? My Answer: I got new glasses awhile ago. Besides that, the last time I've seen a doctor was just over two years ago. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: iMovie Store

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 […]

Announcing NSLog.com’s New Logo

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 […]

Question: Will you be watching hockey? My Answer: I keep forgetting that Michael is a Penguins fan. In the post linked to just prior, he lists several reasons why he's excited about the upcoming hockey season, including: No hockey last year. Mario is playing. Those of us who know better know Mario has more skill […]

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 […]
