Question: What's your favorite application in the "costs more than fifty bucks" crowd? Why? My Answer: BBEdit ranks up there, but that may be a ranking of familiarity and nothing else. Can Unreal Tournament 2004 be my answer? Heck, I don't have much software over $50. I like Photoshop, but it's pretty utilitarian for me […]

Question: What's your favorite comic strip? My Answer: Dilbert. I also subscribe to Wizard of Id and B.C. feeds in PulpFiction. Today's Wizard of Id was particularly funny, especially given Carey's recent "adventures" in teaching.

Question: Do you have porn in your iPhoto Library? My Answer: No. My porn is carefully catalogued elsehwere. 🙂 I'm prompted to ask this question by Playboy, who has now begun offering iPod Porn (they're calling it iBod). Basically, well, here: Now you can view individual images or entire slide shows on the go. Playboy […]

Question: Do you have any special holiday drinks? My Answer: My parents make some kind of red slush stuff with cherry vodka and some other ingredients. It's very good, but I haven't had any in a looooong time. Pre-turning-21, I think. PA doesn't allow you to buy beer in grocery stores and/or gas stations, so […]

Question: Should colleges and universities place as much emphasis on liberal arts as they do? My Answer: Click the link there for the post that prompted this question. Like the first commenter, I too would have loved to focus more of my time on a topic of my choosing. I was a medicinal chemistry major […]

Question: Would you buy colored car tires? My Answer: Yeah, if they worked just as well. Brown tires would leave true-to-life "skid marks" all over the place, yellow tires could paint new lines, and fluorescent tires would sure turn heads. How about glow-in-the-dark tires? Hmmm… Okay, so, maybe they would work as well, but are […]

Question: Do you have a digital media card reader? My Answer: I've got a purple CompactFlash Firewire card reader from Lexar. Works great. I recommend a card reader (though not the USB ones) to everyone. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: How many pictures (digital, analog, with your cell phone) do you take, on average, in a day? My Answer: If we're rounding to whole numbers, zero. I'll take 20 at a time, but once a month. I found out today that my camera (a Nikon CoolPix 950 or something) absolutely sucks at taking pictures […]

Question: Did you download the 30-day Motion trial? My Answer: You bet your buttocks! You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: I asked the question about the Nintendo DS, and now I'm asking it about the Sony PSP: do you want one? My Answer: No. The ability to play movies and, occasionally, a decent looking game is attractive. The battery life and price are not. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day […]

Question: What's the most duplicitous thing you've ever done to a member of the opposite sex? My Answer: Years ago, I failed to mention that I had a girlfriend just to see where things would go. True to form, they didn't go anywhere, which was why I knew I was relatively safe going in. I'm […]

Question: What's your favorite fruit? How do you most like eating it? My Answer: Kiwi, straight up (I eat the skin too). Cherries are second (if anyone ever made a seedless dark red cherry, it might just bump kiwi from the top spot - as is, they're just a little too much work). You are […]

Question: Do you use OmniOutliner, and if so, for what? My Answer: I don't. People seem to like it, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. I have a to-do list in my email app (my "Drafts" folder), I keep my other to-dos in Stickies. When I need to actually create […]

Question: If you were given $50 and told that you had to spend it on a present for yourself, what would you buy? Paying your phone bill is not a "present" for the purpose of this question. My Answer: I'd buy a pair of golf shirts or pants. I, being the geek that I am, […]

Question: What's the ugliest site you still visit regularly? My Answer: I don't visit a whole lot of ugly sites. The truly ugly ones are usually hidden behind an RSS feed, like this one. 🙂 Perhaps the ugliest site I visit regularly (because its RSS feed has only headlines when I last checked) is xlr8yourmac.com.
