QotD: Hygiene

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. I mean, you don't sweat much typing right? And heck, I often forget to eat and sleep too. You are encouraged to answer the Question […]

QotD: Word of the Year

Question: What was your word of the year? My Answer: Carey. Love. Erie. Love. Carey. Take your pick. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Note-Taking

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. […]

QotD: Nintendo DS

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 […]

QotD: Pen

Question: Pen or pencil? My Answer: Gosh I don't like pencils. The scratching, the sharpening… give me a thick pen every time. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Thin Walls

Question: What's the strangest thing you've ever heard a neighbor doing? My Answer: My neighbor in Florida seemingly once tried - I emphasize tried - to sing opera. He was a 60-year old, beer-belly, balding white dude. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: Survivor

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? […]

QotD: Board Games

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. […]

Ads in Feeds

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. I don't believe they will, though. As I scan my subscriptions list, I find that only about 5% of my feeds are maintained by more than […]

QotD: Car Tunes

Question: What do you listen to in the car? My Answer: My iPod. Occasionally a CD… but almost never the radio. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Persuasion

Question: Given that online petitions have what seems to be a 100% failure rate, has the Internet performed in a lackluster fashion in informing or persuading masses of people, and effecting change on the intended targets? My Answer: In cases, it has been a failure. Petitions have a huge failure rate (I'm guessing it's near […]

QotD: iTunes Totals

Question: What does the shorter version of your iTunes status area say when you're viewing your library? Your "Purchased Music" list? My Answer: 9839 songs, 34 days, 56.60 GB. I've purchased 573 songs, 4.1 days, 3.05 GB (about 1/3 of which were free - my total iTunes store spending has been less than $200). You […]

QotD: Fink

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 […]

QotD: Mouse

Question: How many buttons does your mouse have? Don't count the scroll wheel as more than one button, and don't count "chording." My Answer: Eight. The Logitech MX-700. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Spamments

Question: I'm going to call comment spam "spamments" now. This new word securely embedded in your vocabulary, today's question is: how many spamments has your blog blocked? If you don't have a blog, how often do you see spamments on blogs? My Answer: Here are MT-Blacklist's stats, which go back to about… uhhh… Let's say […]
