Question: Have you ever punched a wall? My Answer: Only the padded ones in gyms, and only very gently. I get upset sometimes, but my anger manifests itself in verbal outbursts, and even then they're usually under my breath (particularly when playing golf or in the company of others). This question comes about because I […]

Question: Which of Microsoft's six new fonts do you like the most? Why? My Answer: Like Todd, I like Corbel and Calibri. I think they'd make excellent text for websites (like The Sand Trap, which currently uses Trebuchet MS), if Microsoft sees fit to release them in a way that guarantees at least 50% of […]

Question: If you print your digital photos, where do you get them printed? My Answer: Wal-Mart recently dropped their price to $.19/print, but I'm not sure where I'll go to get 8x10s and 5x7s and things. A local photo store? iPhoto? I don't know… The only prints I've ever had done I ordered through iPhoto. […]

Question: For those with digital cameras, do you shoot in RAW? My Answer: I would do RAW+JPEG, but the XT's ".CR2" files are currently unreadable by Lightbox, iPhoto, and Photoshop. So for now, it's JPEG only. Harumph. 🙁 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on […]

Question: How often do you "Send to Apple" the crash reports that appear when an app goes down? My Answer: Never. I'm still hoping Apple provides a away for an application to provide contact information for the developer so that we, not frickin' Apple, get the crash reports. What the heck do they care if […]

Question: Do you go mad in March? My Answer: Yeah, from all the friggin' basketball on TV. I've often said that I'll play any sport, but basketball is just about the only sport I won't even watch on TV. I'd rather watch bowling or curling. I don't watch NASCAR (but then again, I don't consider […]

Question: Here's a situation. You're pushing a cart to your car after shopping at Wal-Mart (or anywhere). Next to you, a woman empties her cart. She's carrying only her purse and has no company, and certainly no children. She pushes her cart in front of her minivan and turns to get into her car. The […]

Question: How much time do you estimate you spend "on hold" in a given week? My Answer: About 30 minutes. When placing or checking on orders, when talking with customers and clients, when trying to figure out what the hell Florida is doing about my license. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the […]

Question: If you could create any (reasonable) Dashboard Widget, what would you have it do? My Answer: I don't see myself using Dashboard much, actually. Everything I need is already in the current layer. The calculator will come in handy, but that's hardly imaginative. Perhaps a very simple and effective to-do list with reminders of […]

Question: Do you have a driver's license? If so, how's the picture? 🙂 At what age did you get your first one? My Answer: Yes. Picture's fine. But I'll be getting a PA one soon (more on that later today). Do foreign countries even have driver's licenses, or is licensure handled differently? I obtained my […]

Question: How many domains do you own? My Answer: I just wanted an excuse to link to this one: picking up expired domains. But I will answer the question: 27. All of which have been used for their intended purpose at one point or another, and some of which obviously still are. Some are defunct […]

Question: What period of American history would you most like to visit? My Answer: The Industrial Revolution had to have been cool. New millionaires were springing up left and right, optimism was everywhere, and business was booming. Imagine the impact you could have made if you had just one great idea? Or the impact you […]

Question: Are kids today dumber than they were 20 years ago? 50? My Answer: I'm not sure they're dumber, but they sure as heck act like it. Whether it's a lack of work, crappy education standards, or what, I don't know, but Carey graded some tests today that were simply amazing… in the wrong sense […]

Question: Have you talked to anyone in the past month who wanted a Gmail account and doesn't yet have one? My Answer: I think I have about 110 invites right now. It's ridiculous. No longer can Gmail be called an "invitation-only" kinda gig - invites are everywhere. Heck, Carey has about four Gmail addresses. 😛 […]
