Holy crap do I have a lot of tabs opens! And for that reason I’ll start by pointing out one of the awesomest Firefox addons - Session Fix. All it does is ask me if I want to save my session when I close down the browser. No more worrying about losing the 30 tabs [...]

Enter Year Five

To quote my blogiversary post from last year:
Crap. I was sure I would get my “blogiversary” right this year. It’s at the end of February - the 26th, to be exact. Not that difficult to remember. Of course, I kept forgetting what date I am currently living in, which is why I just noticed that [...]

Hello?

Oh, and in case you actually didn’t watch the Oscars last night, you probably missed out on this gem of a commercial:

I have to give credit to Apple on that one, very clever.

I would NOT like to thank the Academy…

I don’t think I ever actually plan on watching the Oscars, it just sort of happens. I understand the concept of Oscar parties and pools and all kinds of wacky hijinks that surround the event, but I usually forget it’s even on. And then I just turn on the TV and POW! I’m watching it [...]

My brain is mush

I forgot my cell phone at home today. In order to call Lisa - who has had the same cell phone for longer than I’ve known her, whom I have been with for over 4 years now, whom I call just about everyday - I had to look her number up in my Gmail contact [...]

And that’s why they call it BETA

Way back in the fall I switched my desktop machine to Windows Vista. Of course that was the first release candidate and, in Microsoft terms, that means beta software. The system is just above bargain basement purchases, so I knew I wasn’t going to get the greatest WOW! experience out there. However, I did like [...]

Boy oh boy

Has anyone else seen the commercials for Black Snake Moan? It’s the story of an older man who finds a young lady and chains her up in his house. Wacky hijinks ensue.
Seriously, that’s what the movie is about - at least according to the commercials. Checking out the trailer you’ll at least figure out that [...]

Painted into a closet

Today’s the kind of day that I wake up, look at my clothes, and decide to put on a nice pair of jeans and one of my favorite concert tees. Then I go downstairs and think, “What am I going to do today? That’s right, I’m painting the closet. Well, no reason to change out [...]

I’m sure Mark can agree with this post on How To Tell If You’re Watching A Bad Nicolas Cage Movie - although I do have to say that I enjoyed Trapped in Paradise. (via Jess)
In the “falling into an open manhole is funny” category, we have a guy getting shot when mistaken for a river [...]

The highs and lows of Lost

A commercial comes on the TV reminding us that Lost is actually going to be on tonight. It would be pretty easy to forget at this point, normally we get one new episode a month. But that one commercial can provide such emotional drama:
Commercial: Tonight on Lost…
Lisa: Oh yeah, that’s right.
Commercial: …an encore presentation of [...]
