I haven’t used a laptop on a regular basis for 7 years. My primary computer has always been a desktop, and aside from my one year using an IBM Thinkpad, my only computers have been desktops.
Not long ago, we replaced Cindy’s aging Apple eMac with an Intel Apple MacBook, which she lurves, and has named […]

Yes, yes, yes. We all know you’re a much better person than I am. We get it.
“‘Charlie Rose’ by Samuel Beckett“ — Ha! Samuel Beckett, indeed.
E-Mail From Aunt Accidentally Opened — More all-too-true fake news from The Onion. We laugh because it’s true. We cry because it’s true.
Patton Oswalt: Death Bed — I have […]

Okay, I’m not likely to use the iPod Touch for blogging, but I had to write at least this one post with it, just to test it out.

It doesn’t have any games, or Internet capability, or even a great screen. That is, it’s missing everything that could distract me from getting down to the business of writing. I’ve only been […]

I knew this was going to happen, but I had forgotten all about it…until I tried to visit one of my newest favorite sites, Pandora.
Hi, it’s Tim from Pandora,
I’m sorry to say that today Pandora, along with most Internet radio sites, is going off the air in observance of a Day Of Silence. We […]

One of my favorite lines from Scrubs (and there are many) is something Dr. Cox said: “I’m fairly sure if they took all the porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called “Bring back the porn!”
