Forbes Field Forever

Today, I saw a poster next to Michael Rowley’s desk and I asked if any of the baseball fanatics at Plaxo knew which stadium it was of. Nobody did. I mentioned that I thought that it looked like Forbes Field to me. Given what I remember of the remains of it (the right field wall […]

hardware problem

Overheard today: J: “I have this hilarious but really debilitating hardware problem.” R: “I know these pills I got from Mexico that will fix you right up!”

Aperture 1.1 out

Aperture 1.1 was released as a free update today. If you own Aperture, see Software Update. (My comments about it are here.) In my original review of Aperture, the only real complaint I had was the price, which was too close to PhaseOne CaptureOne. I felt that Apple should undercut them like Final Cut Pro […]

A difference of one letter

Redgee likes to joke that his relatives are all in jail or the military. He told me a few months ago that he heard from them that they are being told to gear up for a war in Iran. Now with a recent New Yorker article I read, this rumor is getting some play in […]

CA-50 is dead to me

Today is the day of the California 50 special election. The purpose of the special election, like that of the one that will occur in Delay’s district, is based on the premise that Republicans are more likely to vote when voter turnout is low.

Minikiss

Blake just sent me this article about a dispute between two all-dwarf KISS tribute bans over who owns the concept. Blake’s subject title was “I love the world.” Truely.

Cloaking myth with math

In light of my last post, I thought I’d bring up that while those people’s bashing of Caitlin was ill founded, they are expressing an underlying problem that exists in any endeavor based on technology or science. Too often, people use technical mumbo jumbo to cover a basic lie.

The industry doth protest too much, methinks

Caitlin’s new (incomplete) website design seems to have hit a nerve. It’s a fun read made funnier by the fact that nobody answers the poster’s simple question, which is basically: “Is this stuff true, or false advertising?”

Plaxo eCards adds borders

It looks like another point release of Plaxo came out. Again, I forgot what was in this release, but one feature I want to highlight is the new borders on the Plaxo eCards site.

Picturewall

I recently purchased a picturewall in order to add some accents to my otherwise boring apartment. It’s been on my to do list forever and now that I own a couch, hanging up some “fotografs,” as Caitlin puts it, was my next priority. A quick run to Costco today allowed me to add a few […]
