Question: What do you think of the new PowerBooks? My Answer: Great. The trackpad bit is nice. The Sudden Motion thing is nice. Anyone thinking these would be G5s was simply out of their gourd. Bluetooth 2.0? Who'da thunk it? Built-in wireless is a good thing. And 17 inches for $2699? When these things were […]

Question: On average, how much "free time" do you have in an average day? Free time is defined as time with no obligations to work, significant others, or friends, and unless we're talking about luxurious baths, it doesn't include time for showering, bathing, dressing, cleaning, etc. My Answer: About 30 minutes. Startling. You are encouraged […]

Question: When was the last time you were romantic? What did you do? My Answer: I'm posting this question not because I have something in mind, but because I'm spurring myself on. It's been too long for me. So, I'm backing out of my own question, yes, but I'll gladly hear your answers. 🙂 You […]

Question: What do you like most about Pages? Dislike most? My Answer: It seems to export its styles in a format Word can understand. We may just be able to use it for the book after all. I wish the styles sidebar had a way of hiding unused styles. Keep them available for when I […]

Question: What is the biggest limitation of the Model-View-Controller paradigm? My Answer: I just wanted to use the word "paradigm." 🙂 No, not really. The largest issue I have with it is that it's somewhat complicated by some classes in Cocoa, and sometimes it just feels so easy to do something "M" in the "V" […]

Question: Ignoring things that are cached, how much do you download in an average day? My Answer: Counting email (mainly the attachments), around 125 MB. Most of my downloading is done via Safari or FTPeel, of course, and there's an occasional odd day where I download a Tiger seed or something (what, 3.2 GB or […]

Question: Shania Twain's "Up" album: red disc or green? Or, sadly, none of the above? My Answer: Red. That's the pop one, right? Red. (A reader suggested this question, or a variation: which version of "Party for Two" do you like most [red for me]. Thanks, Ruby!) You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]

Question: What are your Super Bowl XXXIX predictions? How about your Super Bowl XL predictions? My Answer: Patriots 27, Eagles 17. Steelers 27, Falcons 10. It's appalling the quality of play in the NFC - I can't see anyone pulling out a winning season except the Eagles and Falcons. It will obviously happen, but I […]

Question: What's your most memorable snow day? For those who live in areas without snow, what's the most memorable school cancellation? My Answer: Can't say. We never had one, not a single one of 'em. One time, in high school, we had three feet of snow dumped on us overnight. I was sure we'd have […]

Question: What is your middle name? Do you care to change it? My Answer: Joseph. And no, not really… Goodness knows I use the "J." enough. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: Should Apple offer colored Mac minis? My Answer: Sure, why not. But something tells me they're going to have a hard enough time keeping up with production here with just one case option. As someone who watched the iPod mini rush first-hand, I can say that color complicates things. People "settling" for their second-choice […]

Question: Stamps: how many do you use per month? My Answer: About five. Crappy QotD, but today was a busy day. Get PulpFiction 1.2, mmmmk? 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: Will the 'rel="nofollow"' idea work? My Answer: It's a step in the right direction, but I've gotta agree with Chuq: I don't think it's going to be economically damning enough to comment spammers. Furthermore, it hurts authentic commenters who leave their URL on my blog. If they're contributing, why shouldn't they benefit from some […]

Question: Got Bluetooth? My Answer: Yeah, but besides transferring a few pictures or MP3s to my phone (which actually hasn't worked in awhile), I don't do a whole lot. I should use my Bluetooth headset more, though… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

Question: Did Apple position the Mac mini appropriately (i.e. well enough to avoid a "Cube" debacle)? My Answer: I think so. I agree with codepoet's assessment. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.
