QotD: iTunes and iPod

Question: Do you feel that iPod sales drive use of the iTMS or that use of the iTMS drives iPod sales? My Answer: It's probably a bit more of the latter, but in my case, neither drives the other. I haven't bought an iPod in close to two years (the Shuffle I picked up was […]

QotD: iTunes Price Increase

Question: If record companies forced variable pricing on iTunes, how would you react? (NYTimes.com) My Answer: I'd stop buying music from iTunes. $0.99 is just the right price. Record companies make something like $0.65 per track downloaded from iTunes, last time I checked. Screw 'em. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day […]

QotD: Children’s Movie

Question: What was your favorite children's movie? My Answer: I didn't really get into too many movies, largely because VHS was still a pretty new thing when I was a kid. I liked watching Santa Clause (The Movie) as an adolescent, though. But favorite children's movie? Fantasia, maybe? You are encouraged to answer the Question […]

QotD: Favorite Toy

Question: What was your favorite toy as a child? Do you still have it? Do you still play with it? My Answer: Without a doubt, Legos. I still have my Legos, but I don't play with them. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: Spelling

Question: Do you consider yourself a good speller? My Answer: You betcha. I may have an occasional typo here and there (in other words, there's no need to go back and try to find mispellings here on the ol' blog), but I typically know how to spell just about everything. I rarely hear a word […]

QotD: Teacher

Question: Who was your favorite teacher, and why? My Answer: I had two, and both were in chemistry. It's no wonder that I went into medicinal chemistry in college, I suppose. Ed Koster and Phil Sarver were both very different in their approach to teaching, but I respected both (despite how I may have behaved) […]

QotD: Stalker

Question: Have you ever had a stalker? Or been a stalker? My Answer: No. I've had some mini-crushes, but I was a bit more the "that's me in the corner, losing my religion" type of guy than the "must know every detail, be everywhere, see everything" type of guy. And I'm fairly certain nobody's ever […]

QotD: Pop Tabs

Question: Have you ever collected pop tabs? For what purpose? My Answer: When I was in college, a local beer distributor offered a free keg for a gallon jug full of pop tabs. Rob and I collected them, then didn't have time to drink a keg (or throw the party), so we figured they must […]

QotD: Buying Books

Question: Where do you buy the majority of your books? My Answer: A local Barnes & Noble. I get 10% off (now 20%, because Carey's a teacher) and I enjoy the "immediacy" of having a book in my hand and not having to wait for the mail to deliver it (i.e. Amazon.com). You are encouraged […]

QotD: Seagulls

Question: Have you ever given a seagull an Alka Seltzer? My Answer: Nope. I can't imagine it'd be a whole lot of fun, really. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Finder

Question: How do you primarily use the Finder: Column, List, or Icon view? My Answer: I typically have one window open in column mode (six columns wide and a skinny sidebar). When I need to work with images or "drag and drop" type things, I'll open a second folder in icon view to provide easier […]

QotD: Retirement

Question: Do you plan to retire? My Answer: Probably not fully, not ever. Unless of course I can play golf every day, all day. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Dumb Right Foot

Question: While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. The question is: how many times do you try this before your foot stops changing directions? My Answer: It took me six […]

QotD: Volunteer

Question: When was the last time you volunteered? Doing what? My Answer: I'm currently the volunteer assistant golf coach for my old high school, North East High School. Go Pickers! 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Bed

Question: What size bed do you have? My Answer: A double (extra long). Carey and I like it, though prior to meeting me she was used to a King for two people. But we fit comfortably. Flint, sadly, is no longer allowed on the bed at night, though he's snuck on the past two evenings. […]
