A week or so ago I told you about the iMac we took in. I’d described it as another one of the original Bondi Blue models, to go along with the other two we have already (one that works, and another that’s fried, but we keep for parts). Cheryl brought it home after getting in late that night and we put it on the only horizontal space available: the desk in Adam’s room.
Adam woke the next…
The Onion:
WASHINGTON—In an unexpected reversal that environmentalists and scientists worldwide are calling groundbreaking, President George W. Bush, for the first time in his political career, openly admitted to the existence of carbon dioxide…
Many of those whom Bush has long considered to be his most loyal followers, however, have expressed disappointment with the development.
“There is…
I like to be busy. If I happen upon a day at work that isn’t, minutes feel like hours. When there’s plenty to do the time flies, and that’s how I know I like my job.
This week has taken busy to a new level. No, I’m not putting in long hours, so my sister will have no sympathy. On the other hand I’m not asking for any, so it all works out. This entry is not a plea for pitty, it’s a…
It’s not what many would consider winter, but it’s often as close as we get deep in the southeast. Last night a “strong” cold front moved through, spawning the usual collection of high winds and tornadoes (ho-hum). We hit our high of 70 this morning (chills you to the bone, I’m sure). Still, the air feels much drier than usual, giving us a brief taste of cool, crisp air.
I’m sitting…
Beth and I finally made it out to Honeymoon Island for a good hike. I’d been waiting to take my new camera out to the park to hunt for some good pictures, and by golly, today was an excellent day for it. We had a high around 80 with a nice sea breeze to mix up the air a little… what you might call a chamber of commerce kind of day… one for the brochures.
I posted a bunch of the pics on…
How’s this for a testimonial:
“I’d sign over my next paycheck to these folks, if my wife didn’t have any say in it.”
Fat Cat Software and their little app: iPhoto Library Manager saved my bacon this evening. My iMac did something to me that an Apple computer hasn’t done to me in years: it crashed.
It’s been so long I didn’t know what to do. If I was at work, toiling away on the…
As I mentioned yesterday, until recently I haven’t worried very much about global warming. It’s been in the back of my mind, like any good liberal, but I haven’t done much about it. Like many folks, I was shaken a bit by the Al Gore movie; but a certain blog gave me an extra push.
I’ll admit that I hadn’t read much on the topic for more than ten years, back when I’d read (among other…
