College
Sister: What are you taking up in college?
Mom: He's taking up time and space.

I’ve seen a lot of people quoting and linking to Jason Calacanis’ recent article, The Case Against Apple—in Five Parts, in a positive light. But I can’t. It’s ridiculous.
Marco makes all the right points (and I highly encourage reading the full post), but I’d like to add just one small observation:
[…] if Microsoft made the Zune the only MP3 player compatible with Windows....
Enjoy your weekend people; as usual, mine will be nothing short of miserable.
I just realized that I’ve owned my bike for nearly three years.
I’m Skyping with my friend in LA because I can’t fall asleep - this dizzy thing is killing me.
Heh. I’d almost forgotten I was following @glennbeck.
I remember when having a “guestbook” on your website was all the rage.
Evening all.
Never a dull moment. This is me, ROFLMAO-ing.
Is it just me, or was it just Monday?
I am totally not feeling well today. Constant dizziness. Almost vertigo, but not quite. #sick
Still dizzy. I have a feeling this will be a bed-ridden weekend.
Good night people.
Finishing up the Crank series.
I just opted my Comcast service out of the idiotic “Domain Helper” service. It was easier than I expected, and I learned something useful.
That Windows cursor seems foreign to me after nearly three weeks of Mac.
Hopefully that was the end of MultiClutch. Cool features are not worth a buggy system.
Running Software Update so I can get me some 10.5.8 goodness. Can’t wait for Snow Leopard.
Wow. Connecting over Ethernet is certainly one way to speed up your day. Wowzers.
Good, it looks like I’ve gotten rid of MultiClutch. No more stupid lines in Console.
Listening to some awesome A Cappella music right now.
Why does this happen every time I reboot? http://yfrog.com/10dupp (And it gets progressively longer each time.) #mac #spotlight
I just cracked the delete key on my Mac. I think I have anger issues. (via @skydiver) LMAO - I totally see myself doing this! :)
The UPS fairy left me a little present today: http://yfrog.com/5ghtykj - My three new awesome @threadless shirts! :)
Is it just me, or does @Rackspace have a thing for their employees standing in front of whiteboards, explaining things? http://tr.im/vNAi ;)
Just finished updating to Leopard 10.5.8. http://yfrog.com/b5277p Took the time while it was downloading to AppZapper a few things. :D
Yay, all up to date! http://yfrog.com/0gajqp #mac
If your site needs an FAQ, you have failed. (via @dcurtis)
I like how I am consistently leaving out words in everything I’ve been writing recently. My apologies if I’ve confused you.
Why does Joe Biden look eerily like Tom Zarek (of BSG fame)?
Anyone have any recommendations for a low-cost external drive for use with Time Machine? I only have a 250GB HDD. #mac101 (@marcoarment?)
Oh, look, Twitter’s back. I’ve been away.
I just went through my mentions list and blocked a whole bunch of RT bots and spammers. Feeling oddly powerful. Muhaha. #evillaugh
Testing out Brizzly. YouTube integration.
Good night.
Going to work on some actual work now.
I think I’m going to rewatch Iron Man. Can’t wait for the sequel! :)
And just like that, I’m not going to the game. I won’t see you there.
It seems I’m going to the Phillies game tonight. See you there.
Morning all.
