I just read the preview and I'm excited! The use of the controller seems to be pretty great.
Oh when oh when I can get my pre-order in, dangit?

Just wondering… if one were to recreate PulpFiction (i.e. all that it was and then some on top of that), what would you name such an application if you were in charge of naming such a product?
Assume for the sake of argument that "NetNewsWire," "PulpFiction," "NewsFire," "Safari," and all variations and others not named here are not eligible names. 😉

I wish to convey in no uncertain terms my frustration and puzzlement regarding Mac OS X's default keyboard list selection behavior.
You're damn right it's screwy.

I ask you: does this portion size of mashed potatoes - not even a special order, but one of the normal choices of side dish - look a little small to you or what?
Carey mentioned it to the waitress and she said "no, that's pretty normal." Then, thankfully, she brought me another small dish. Carey's baked potato, meanwhile, was probably the size of both of my portions of mashed potato combined.
If you go to Texas Roadhouse, and you order mashed potatoes, are your portions this small?

Is it just me, or does Stephen Colbert look a lot like Bob Saget?
Oh yeah, an interesting story, too.

I hate shoddy reporting as much as the next guy. Apple (and its products) seem to attract a disproportionate share.

I think my 404 search broke because I lost some code along the way. Now I am trying to get it back.
Update: Okay, all better.

And this just about sums up why using only the past few days as evidence.

Scorecard 1.0 - an application a year in development (well, in calendar time, if you get the drift…) is now available. I've worked with Brad on this project for quite some time, and have been using it for months to keep track of my golf statistics. It works beautifully.
There really are no comparative products on the Mac. The other golf stats apps out there are hideous to look at and use. Hell, they're why we created Scorecard. Head on over to Brad's site at cynicalpeak.com to get Scorecard today.
And yes, we're still looking for a Windows developer.

Brad, formerly of Freshly Squeezed Software (I now even refuse to link to the site) and I have been working for awhile on a golf statistics application called Scorecard. It's set to release very soon.
We're looking for a Windows developer to port the 1.0 version (and subsequent updates) to Windows. Ideally, such a developer will be able to use SQLite to make the database files cross-platform compatible. We'd likely work out a deal whereby the Windows developer would be responsible for development (and testing) only, yet would receive 50-75% of the gross sales of Scorecard for Windows.
If you're a Windows developer and you're interested in working on this project, get ahold of me, preferably via email. Information is in the sidebar (see "Contact Info").

Carey and I just got a letter from Time Warner Cable saying that they'd bought Adelphia in my area. I don't know what this means for me, but when I type my zip code (16506) into http://twcusoon.com/, a site they told me to visit in the letter, the resulting page says "Ohio" and resides at "/Sites/cleveland/Default.aspx."
That's not a good start.

Question: Why are "No U-Turn" signs most often found in the places where people are most likely to want to u-turn?
My Answer: Hell if I know.

"If you let half a torso balance on your giant penis, be sure to point exactly where you want them to cut it off with their cleaver."
If nothing else, Ze Frank sure has me looking at commonplace signs in a whole new way. And I don't mean those "Slow children playing" signs, either - those are too easy. I mean signs like the one to the right.
Now I'm just filling up space here so my entry wraps below the image. It's tough work, but I'm too lazy to type <br style="clear: both;" />. Oh wait, I just did.
Am I there yet? Okay, now I am. Whew!
