QotD: Loan

Question: How many loans to you have right now? My Answer: Two. School and car. Thassit. Soon will be adding a mortgage, of course, but that's a ways off. Y'know, one to ten weeks or so. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: Lease or Buy

Question: Do you lease or buy your cars? My Answer: I buy, but those lease offers: $209/month, $2,195 down look awfully attractive. I know that you basically never stop paying and that there are certain restrictions, but I once read a book by a financial guy who said "if you only keep your cars for […]

QotD: Car

Question: How long do you keep a car? My Answer: At least five to six, typically more like eight. Of course, the first car I ever owned, I kept for about a year. It was black, and that didn't go over too well in south Florida. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the […]

QotD: Bonjour

Question: Do you like the name Bonjour for Apple's former Rendezvous? My Answer: Sure. It will be interesting, however, to see how badly people mispronounce it. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Prepare for Tiger

Question: As a follow-up on yesterday's post, today's question is this: how will you prepare for Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4)? My Answer: I'll do my nightly (and complete) backup. Then I'll probably just install it right over 10.3.8. When problems arise in a few months, maybe then I'll do a clean install. But right […]

QotD: April 29

Question: Are you ready for Tiger? My Answer: You bet! You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Many Apps

Question: This one's making the rounds, and it's as valid a question as any: are you a hider, a closer, a minimizer, or an Exposér? My Answer: A hider. I rarely minimize windows - except for Finder windows - and the apps in my dock are the ones that are always running anyway. Everything else […]

QotD: Masters

Question: Did you watch The Masters today? My Answer: You bet your ass I did. Or rather, you can bet your ass that my ass didn't leave the couch for about five hours. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Mortgage

Question: Ever applied for a mortgage? If so, how much were you approved for as a % of your yearly income (i.e. $40,000 -> $150,000 = 375%)? My Answer: No, I haven't. I've heard that you can "afford" a mortgage of 3x (300%) your yearly income, but I know of people who have been approved […]

QotD: Interview Rate

Question: What's your "interview success rate?" In other words, of the job interviews you've had, what percentage have resulted in job offers? My Answer: 100%! Of course, I've only really ever interviewed for about ten (paying) jobs, and that's stretching all the way back to my first job as a concessionaire at the Erie Zoo. […]

QotD: Non-Holiday Event

Question: What is your favorite yearly non-holiday event? My Answer: The Masters. It starts today. Well, maybe. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Uptime and Load

Question: What's your computer's uptime output? My Answer: 15:31 up 2 days, 6:04, 2 users, load averages: 1.08 0.64 0.49 BTW, uptime | pbcopy is a great way to copy your uptime to the clipboard. I've found that few people are aware pbcopy. It's quite handy. Incidentally, this QotD came about as a result of […]

QotD: New Pope

Question: If you were elected Pope, what would you make your first order of business? My Answer: I'd find the room to build a golf course somewhere in Vatican City. No, I'm kidding. I'd attempt to reunite the sciences with faith, and show that the two are not mutually exclusive in any way, and are […]

QotD: Advertising

Question: Do you actively block web advertising (or do you just not pay any attention to it)? My Answer: I don't block it, but I don't pay much attention to it either. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Developer CDs

Question: Does anyone actually use the ADC CDs/DVDs as anything but a coaster or, in my case, trash? My Answer: Nope. For some reason, I have a big ol' stack of them though. I should probably trash 'em. Question inspired by Dan. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in […]
