Remember that period of time in blogging history when we all shared our playlists? Scripts and applications that maintained our "most recently played 20 songs" online were all the rage. I even wrote a few of my own. Now, not so much. Incidentally: Erik is listening to "Monday Morning" by Fleetwood Mac from the album […]

It happened again. And by "it" I mean that Rivet stopped showing images properly. The screenshot to the right shows the media browser in Pages ((The same browser can be found in Keynote and a few other Apple apps.)). Note that images made after the Cinci Zoo album don't show up. Lovely.

A few days ago I took in the new Bond flick and came away severely disappointed. Very little dialog or character development. No gadgets. Fast-paced, quick cuts that simply caused confusion. This was most evident during the many fight scenes, but was even evident when they were touching, tapping, and twirling things on a computer […]

I just wasted well over an hour upgrading The Sand Trap to WordPress 2.7. The problem appeared as most WordPress errors do: I had a blank page. The twist to this one? Only the home page was blank. Other pages worked just fine. I could set my "About" page to act as the home page […]

I spent several hours playing with this blog's comments. I used this post as a guide and, in general, had things working quite well. In the end, I've reverted back to my WordPress 2.6 comments template. I simply didn't like the fact that the actual comments block - each comment - was output in pre-defined […]

As I write this, Mike Komisarek and Andrei Markov still lead the NHL All Star voting for defensemen. Carey Price is still the leading gaolie. Three Habs still occupy spots 3-5 for forwards, only recently being overtaken by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The game's being held in Montreal to celebrate a centennial, so I […]

This blog is now officially six years old. I've posted every day in those six years. Some posts, like this one, were lame. Others were not. My focus has shifted a few times through the years, but one thing has stayed the same: this blog is for and about me. When did you start reading […]

I'm off to Myrtle Beach today to test some golf equipment. I'd call it a fun trip but it won't be - I'll fall behind on some other work, miss my family, and will endure some fairly lousy weather. I'll be back on Saturday ((At which time I'll post this - I don't post about […]

Last year I played with a Garmin Nüvi 200W. This year, my in-laws bought a Garmin Nüvi 200 for me for Christmas. Last year - with coupons - I paid something like $250. This year, the unit's free (or, if you're an opportunity cost kind of person, it cost me "$100 in other presents"). For […]

Brad and I will soon be pushing out a free iPhone application, a companion to the desktop Scorecard software. Because it's free (and a bit of a trial balloon), we plan to immediately start work on Scorecard 2.0 ((SC2 may or may not use the same icon as 1.0.)), and it's a "companion" application, we […]

At one point today I typed "homedepot" into my browser's location bar and hit return. I was annoyed, then, when RoadRunner gave me their usual "oops, that's not a valid domain" page: http://ww23.rr.com/index.php?origURL=http://homedepot/. It's the same thing I dislike(d) about OpenDNS and my dislike has not subsided. Fortunately, I noticed today that you can set […]

If you're a Mac user and you've got a PS3, and you'd like to beta test some software that helps tie the two together, please leave a comment with your preferred email address ((Which is not available to spammers, just me.)) below. And yes, if you'd like to put 2 and 2 together, be my […]

What's the best forum solution written in Ruby on Rails? The best blog solution? By "best" I mean a good combination of "fully featured," "robuts/stable," and "extensible/modifiable."

Today, after wasting a little time thinking that my Safari installation had gone awry, I tracked down a bug with CoolIris 1.9.0.16396 and Safari 3.2.1 regarding the latter's phishing/malware protection. The bug manifests itself in a bit of an odd way:

You read the title correctly. Now, if you have half an hour, read the rest. That is simply one revealing fragment. This film is cheerfully ignorant, manipulative, slanted, cherry-picks quotations, draws unwarranted conclusions, makes outrageous juxtapositions (Soviet marching troops representing opponents of ID), pussy-foots around religion (not a single identified believer among the ID people), […]
