There may come a day this season when Tennessee looks like a poor test, but going into this weekend I was a little worried. Partially, this is because I am a worrier by nature; but you’ve got to admit, the young Gator defense gave you a little bit of discomfort in the second half against Troy State, right?
There may come a day when I regret saying this, but the Gators looked like they picked…
My last copy of iPhoto dated way back to version four. (And yes, this is another Mac entry… it’s all I’ve got to talk about… I haven’t been doing anything else.) I haven’t fiddled with any of the other iLife apps, but the new version of iPhoto has really impressed me. There aren’t a lot more editing tools, but the ones I’ve used are better. In…
I’ve been playing with the new computer, and it’s pretty cool and all; but I was looking forward to playing with the new iLife apps just as much. Here’s a few quick albums I threw together, including some sentimental favorites from a trip to Sanibel Island (FL) ten years ago.

I’m just getting started, but I’d really like to…
The first think I thought when I saw the new iMacs was, “oh that looks cool.” The second thing I thought was, “that keyboard might take some getting used to.”
Think calculator with large buttons. There’s not a lot of travel to the keys, and they’re pretty sensitive, so your fingers can really glide over the keys with little effort. However, I already miss…
Friends, have I got news for you. A “girl’s shopping day” turned out in my favor, due to the efforts a friend of Cheryl’s. After a fair bit of arm twisting, Cheryl was convinced to surprise me with a new 20 inch iMac and iPod Nano yesterday evening. (My birthday is right around the corner.) It was quite a surprise… when I received the email from the Apple Store…
My wife spends most of her time at work behind a desk. It’s that little bit of time that she doesn’t that gets interesting. It can be hard to reconcile the high school girl I met over a peeled cat in anatomy class, with the person who straps a gun on a few times a year. My wife is not in the military, the reserves, or with the police, so she doesn’t face the kind of danger many…
Newsvine – Gorillas Now ‘Critically Endangered’
“Great apes are our closest living relatives and very special creatures,” Russ Mittermeier, head of IUCN’s Primate Specialist Group, told The Associated Press. “We could fit all the remaining great apes in the world into two or three large football stadiums. There just aren’t very many…
It’s widely assumed that the administration scheduled General Petraeus’ testimony before congress on 9/10 and 9/11 to emphasize “what’s at stake,” but to me, it only emphasizes why I can’t fully trust what I’m being told.
If the administration dishonestly linked 9/11 and Iraq to start a war, if they cherry picked or invented evidence to justify the war, if…
It’s more vivid today that it was last year, after five years. Numbers don’t mean much to me, other than a means to count. Five years, six years… what’s the difference besides another year?
Today is Tuesday though, which is different because it isn’t.
Six years ago this day fell on a Tuesday too. Tuesdays have a certain rhythm, their own feel. That today was a Tuesday…
