Question: How far do you live from an appreciable source of water? What's the ideal distance? My Answer: Like most apartment complexes in Florida, mine has a pond. If that doesn't count, a slightly bigger "lake"* is 1/4 mile away, and the Atlantic Frickin' Ocean is about three. I'd love to live right on the […]

Question: What's the silliest thing you've ever convinced anyone was true? My Answer: I'm not certain. Many of my friends (not I) smoke pot now and then, so it's pretty easy to convince them of things when they're high. Just today, for example, I convinced a friend of mine that if you searched Google for […]

Question: What would you do to the head honchos of the RIAA if you could get away with anything? My Answer: Death would be too easy. I'm a creative guy, but I think I'd have to spend some time coming up with a real game plan here. Perhaps it'd involve making the executives listen to […]

Question: Should Major League Baseball implement a salary cap? My Answer: Hell yeah. I don't think they ever will, though. The player's associate is too powerful. I'm a small-market (Pittsburgh) fan, and these days, I'm wondering how they ever managed to win three pennants in a row as recent as the early 90s. You are […]

Question: If you could date your high school sweetheart again (pretend you're single), would you? My Answer: I would. We never dated the first time, and she's got a kid now, but she's still the same girl I remember. More digging is required to determine what's changed. Y'know, aside from the offspring. You are encouraged […]

Question: Do you use a router at home? Wireless? Wired? My Answer: I've got both a LinkSys 10/100/1000 4-port router as well as an AirPort Base Station (Extreme). The LinkSys seems to be dying, so I may replace it soon. It randomly kicks me offline every few hours. The past few days I've had the […]

Question: Match.com asks you to choose among the following choices when picking your "ideal date." Which would you choose? My Answer: I'll list the answers in the extended entry. I will say that they were missing the best choice: "Good Company: doing anything so long as it's with someone who's unique and cool." I don't […]

Question: What monthly payment do you hate making most? My Answer: My scooter payment. I need to sell my scooter for a small profit, pay this off, and apply the rest of the money to something else. I rarely get out on the scooter anymore. Anyone want a $2500 scooter with less than 500 km […]

Question: Which rumor do you wish was actually true? My Answer: I've left this open-ended, though I expect most answers will deal with Mac-related things. I haven't got any rumors I wish to be true. I don't need a PDA. I don't need a new portable. I don't need a new display. I don't need […]
