The full article is worth reading, but if you're the type who just wants to skip to the end here you go: Perfect French Fries - Serves Four Ingredients 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 large), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch by 1/4-inch fries (keep potatoes stored in a bowl of water) 2 tablespoons distilled […]

Alex King has a list of Inevitable Truths for Mature People. I've always liked lists like this, though I can't come up with them on my own. Of the ones I liked the most: - Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. - There is great need for […]

I've gotten a few IMs from people who are kind enough to point out that my blog posts here are a month or so behind and that I should check my server settings or something. Unfortunately, they're not behind. I mean, they are, but the server settings are fine. I've just been so busy that […]

Hmm. I like it.

It almost never fails - when I'm uploading a lot of files (typically I see this when I'm uploading a vBulletin update) - my server will eventually boot me out and refuse to connect for 10 to 15 minutes (or longer). Nobody's ever been able to give me a reason why or tell me how […]

I type in "apple" to go to apple.com and the stupid thing auto-completes a news story from CNN about Apple. Or I type in "directv" and I get a URL on dbstalk.com about DirecTV. The URL should always take precedent, I think. I rarely want to search the way it wants to - by keywords. […]

I downloaded an application called "Watts" from Binary Tricks because I was hopeful it might help me to solve an issue I've been having with my MacBook Pro. Basically, my battery will get to about 75 or 78 percent or so, then shut down. Not go to sleep - just die immediately and without warning. […]

Yes, please. Every app with a text field should be able to email, tweet, blog, print, transmute, translate, and read aloud the current selection. Every app with an image view should be able to rotate, crop, set as wallpaper, save to Dropbox, post to Flickr, and upload to an SFTP server. Of course no single […]

I'm digging the world of Safari Extensions. There's a good site at http://safariextensions.tumblr.com/ that's likely going to be the go-to resource ((Though I do wish they had more infrastructure so that I could, for example, compare one YouTube extension to the others to see if there's one that includes all the functionality I'd like.)). However, […]

I ask this question only because I've been told a surprising number of people aged 25-45 still do: {democracy:74} I thought most people stopped smoking pot when they left college. Who still does it? Why? For the record, your answers are completely anonymous, but I'll go on record with my answer: no, I don't, nor […]

I've made a few posts on my blog about my search for a decent burger. Thus far, the list includes In-n-Out, Five Guys, and even Fuddruckers. But none tops Lindburger in Delray Beach, FL ((They finally have a website! Only been about five or six years, minimum!)). Turns out I can add Red Robin (yum!) […]

From here: There's a well-known survey in sports, known as the Goldman Dilemma. For it, a researcher, Bob Goldman, began asking elite athletes in the 1980s whether they would take a drug that guaranteed them a gold medal but would also kill them within five years. More than half of the athletes said yes. When […]

Carey and I had terrible service today at a restaurant. By "terrible" I mean barely adequate - we got a bit of attitude, weren't checked in on at all, and essentially got the bare minimum level of service - she brought out our food when it was done and did nothing else. It was ten […]
