Question: What's your worst hygiene related bad habit? My Answer: Well, working from home, sometimes it's really easy to forget to shower. One time I went three days between showers.

Question: Did you take many notes in school? My Answer: No. I certainly as hell never took notes as well-organized as those at Cornell would have had me do. Cripes! I was lucky if a 45-minute lecture yielded a page of notes. More likely I paid attention and then reviewed things myself in the book. […]

Question: Do you want a Nintendo DS? My Answer: Ars gave it a 9, and I think that eventually I might like to pick up a Nintendo DS, but frankly $150 is far better spent elsewhere. I still enjoy console gaming (though I haven't done that in over a month). Hmmm… Perhaps I'm finally at […]

Question: How well would you do on Survivor? My Answer: I'd either last quite awhile or I'd leave very quickly - I don't think I'd be a piece player at all. I would have a tremendous problem eating what they eat for 39 days, though. And half of the rewards wouldn't help either - coffee? […]

Question: What's your favorite board game (things like Pictionary count). My Answer: Trivial Pursuit - but I'm a fan of silly trivia. I like Pictionary quite a bit, but it's tough to find a fair match. I think Carey and I will give my parents and my sister and her husband a good run, though. […]

Question: How do you think advertising will affect your use of syndicated content? My Answer: Jeremy offers up his opinion - and I hope that advertisers implement his suggestions.

My Answer: In cases, it has been a failure. Petitions have a huge failure rate (I'm guessing it's near […]

Question: Do you use fink? My Answer: I don't even have it installed on my system. I did once - back in 10.1 or 10.2, I think - but I never ended up using it, so, I have simply failed to expend the necessary energy to get it on my 10.3 setups. You are encouraged […]
