QotD: Fetish

Question: Do you have any sexual fetishes? My Answer: Not really. I don't have strong feelings towards anything except most of the bizarre, way out of this world stuff, and those feelings are more along the lines of "not for me" than anything else. I don't obsess over any one part of a woman, I'm […]

QotD: Obesity

Question: Is obesity a disease? My Answer: Said Jim Carrey in a Playboy interview (March 2004): Playboy: But you're a wealthy movie star - you're in a position to deny yourself comforts. Most people don't have that many comforts to begin with. They have overdue bills and abusive bosses. Carrey: That's denial man. That's like […]

QotD: Cook

Question: How often do you cook dinner for yourself or others? My Answer: Once a week, if that. I'm terrible. If by "fix" dinner you don't mean the fast, easy stuff, that is. I eat in about three times a week (still terrible). You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself […]

QotD: Fish

Question: What's your favorite fish to eat, if any? My Answer: Trout or, a new favorite, redfish. The prior breaded, the latter blackened. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Taxes

Question: Have you done your taxes yet? My Answer: No, but I'll be doing them this week I think. I hate doing taxes, but this year I should come out ahead. Maybe. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Rock Star for your Blog

This blog's sidebar supports a nice new feature: my current Rock Star top score and ranking. I've done so with a simple little JavaScript (and an accompanying PHP script): <script src="http://freshlysqueezedsoftware.com/ products/rockstar/hiscores/username.fss? username=Erik%20J.%20Barzeski" type="text/javascript"> </script> You too can embed this in your Web site or blog to let the world know how big a Rock […]

48 Hours

John Gruber says: Recommended reading, even if you wind up disagreeing with more than 1.5 of his criticisms. And so I shall: Matthew Thomas' list of faults found while "enduring" Mac OS X. As if the title alone didn't get you, the list surely will. Some are right, some are wrong. Let's have a look.

QotD: Least of X

Question: What is your least favorite thing about Mac OS X? My Answer: My overall opinion is clearly very high. I had to stretch a little for my least favorite answer, but here it goes: the inability to run the installer from the CD while using the computer to do other things (and install onto […]

QotD: iPod mini

Question: Did you get one? My Answer: I think I'm going to get a green one. I'll listen to it while I'm on my kayak. They're TEEEEEENY! It'll easily fit in my shirtpocket. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Plain Text vs. HTML

Question: Email: plain text or HTML/styled? My Answer: Plain text, dammit. Plus, so much spam is HTML that my filters may be biased against HTML email. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Applications

Question: How many items have you got in /Applications? My Answer: 165. I'm going to be deleting some today, though. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Promotion

Question: Have you ever been promoted (and I don't mean from counter clerk to fry master)? What was your increase in pay? My Answer: I was promoted last May, and I'm looking to be promoted again. Of course, within my own company, there's really no way to go in any direction. 🙂 You are encouraged […]

QotD: Restaurant

Question: Have you ever worked in a fast food restaurant (including Denny's, IHOP, etc.)? My Answer: The programmer in me wants to say "yes." So "yes." I used to work in a Boston Market back in, uhhh, 1996. I was hired in January at $4.25 or whatever minimum wage was back then, was promoted a […]

QotD: Judgmental

Question: Are you judgmental? My Answer: Nah. I know what I would do, I know what I'm comfortable with, but I don't force or impose my values on others. You wanna be gay? Go ahead. Wanna smoke? Go ahead. If you're blowing smoke on me or trying to hump me, then that offends me and […]

QotD: Holidays

Question: What's your least favorite holiday? My Answer: I think that Labor Day is my least favorite holiday simply because it's so bland. Presidents, Columbus, mothers, fathers, independence, lovers, turkeys, and Jesus all have their own days. Labor day? What's that? Blah, that's what it is! I don't dislike it, but it's my least favorite. […]
