Question: What's the email you most regret sending? My Answer: My previous post details one of mine (I shouldn't write email past 2am, I suppose), but it's not the "worst." The worst was one I wrote to blow off steam and accidentally sent to an employee a few years ago. Needless to say, on emails […]

Question: Have you ever eaten food off of someone else's body? If so, what was it? My Answer: I must admit that I have, in fact, consumed small quantities of chocolate syrup and whipped cream from the bodice of another. I don't even particularly like chocolate syrup. You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]

Question: What percentage of your MP3s (or AACs, or whatever) have their metadata (album, artist, year, etc.) completed? Partially completed? My Answer: 100%. Except for some album art I've yet to get, of course, because that involves the tedious process of using wal-mart.com to get the images, selecting all the songs in that album, dragging […]

Question: Do you defragment your hard disk(s)? Regularly? Ever? My Answer: Never. Though erasing, installing a new OS, and drag-copying my old files back over is a pretty effective way of doing so. Then today I read this: While we're talking about the not so well known/hidden new Panther features: while digging through the kernel […]

Question: What's the toughest age? My Answer: I'm watching Try Seventeen right now, so I'm tempted to say 17. However, I'm going to go with 21 or 22. You're new to the world, you're new to life, you're new to a new location, you're new to working for a living. You're born again, in a […]

Question: Has the use of the Internet harmed your "real-world" or "meat-world" relationships? My Answer: No, it's strengthened them. I use the Internet in two modes: information gathering and communication. They're very similar, but you can also think of them as "readnig" and "writing." As an information gathering device, the Internet is great. I can […]

Question: What's the strongest feeling? My Answer: I think I'm going to go with hate. This is both a highly personal question, and an odd one to be asked, because I'm trying to give an answer that's not at all personal. I've been in love, I've come close to falling in love, and I think […]

Question: What's the lamest sport? My Answer: Auto racing. Drivers piss themselves because there are no restroom breaks and the real "athletes" are multi-million dollar cars. Yet they call it a sport. It may be a race, but it's one that requires substantially less effort by the human than the machine. I don't consider any […]

Question: For what do you think this decade will be remembered most? My Answer: The downfall of the music industry as we know it. Of course, that may be wishful thinking, but we'll see. I couldn't think of much better. The 90s are known for the Internet age, I think. It may be too early […]

Question: What's your favorite oxymoron? My Answer: Today I heard the phrase "critical praise" and it just sounded odd. Not a true oxymoron, because by "critical" it means "from someone or a group of someones who is/are critic(s)," but it still sounded odd. My absolute favorites are often computing terms that pop up from time […]
