I’ve had an iPod Touch for almost a week now, and aside from driving people on Twitter nuts by exclaiming how unbelievably awesome it is, I have some thoughts on how it could be better. Nothing groundbreaking, I’m sure, as anyone who spends time with it will likely come up with a similar list.... »
Turns out the feed for my blog decided to bork about 4 days ago. David sent me a kind note (as he always seems to do about 5 minutes after fecal matter impacts spinning metal) but I couldn’t find wtf was wrong. A few days later, and it’s bugging me, and FeedBurner is choking... »
MacOSX 10.5 added some bling, possibly to "catch up" with Vista. The transparent menu bar sucks. Completely. Please, someone at Apple, fix this. I've got my desktop picture set to cycle through some of my photographs. Most of the time, it’s not a big deal, but occasionally, one comes up that causes my menu bar... »

Although I shoot a fair number of photographs, and at least partially identify myself as a... »
I just tried to navigate around in my Time Machine backup, only to find that it was woefully out of date. I’d set it to automatically back everything up, and had assumed that it would, you know, automatically back things up. It hadn’t been doing it. Since December 5, 2007. Over a month ago. And I’d assumed that... »
I just got my signed travel request approval to cover my pilgrimage to Lotusland for NothernVoice 2008. I mean, I was already planning on going, even if I had to stick the trip on my Visa card, but it’s nice to know I can go with blessings The moose is loose! As I’ve... »
