Thin Line Between Love and Hate, cont’d

Posted in Posts, tagged , on March 26, 2009 | Comments Off

In the post below, I ranted about sync issues with my iPod touch at work vs home.  Well, the good news is, I figured out how to get that working, so I have happily downloaded about a gazillion podcasts at the office for listening while in transit for this weekend’s big Boston trip. BUT.  Don’t [...]

Thin line between love and hate

Posted in Posts, tagged , on March 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I think my iPod touch is a great device.  It sounds nice, looks beautiful, and is fun to use.  Except: 1 – when it crashes, I can’t reset it.  I have to wait for it to reset itself.  Irritating. 2 – the accelerometer is crap.  (cause of half the crashes!) 3 – I can’t sync [...]

Now’s the time to get rid of tanning oil forever!  Sunburn victims of the world, unite! It seems unlikely that fueling vehicles with cocoa butter could be achieved at a large scale—that would require a tremendous amount of chocolate or, perhaps, tanning oil—but if the men’s journey makes more people aware of the benefits of biofuels [...]

Can Johnny read?

Yes, a lot of folks stare at a computer all day, but school-age children still do most of their reading from books.  (I went to 15 different public schools and all of them required almost all of my reading to take the form of book reading.  At least 60% of my college reading was from [...]

Tchotchke nation?

I would agree with weboy (see comments), that status-endowing “stuff” isn’t really “cheap”.  I mean, I want that 16gb flash Zen but I’m not going to pay for it.  Maybe it will be in my stocking at Christmas.  That iPhone is half my rent. What about the effect on young people that easy access to credit [...]

RL Takes Over It’s been a few weeks! Of course, me being me, not much has happened. What a surprise. I have bought a new media player to replace the latest one I killed (iRiver, RIP). It’s a creative zen vision:m and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Plus, it’s pink and fabulous! I have [...]

Telecommuting, my right toenail

Posted in Posts, tagged , , , , on December 30, 2005 | Comments Off

Poor Ezra. TAPPED: December 2005 Archives: “Now, not every occupation offers geographic mobility, but assumedly we’ll all be telecommuting within 10 years anyway, rendering the middle of the country significantly more inhabitable for the folks currently unable to contemplate it.” Being only a young thing, he doesn’t realize that everyone was saying this ten years [...]

Too FLIPPING Bad

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on September 10, 2004 | Comments Off

Too FLIPPING Bad. CNET: OK, Longhorn hasn’t even come out yet, and we already hate it. First, it’s delayed interminably, then it has most of its features stripped out in the interest of releasing it, like, someday. Now, we hear that Microsoft is going to let big companies configure Longhorn to block you from using [...]
