And this, because I seem to have busted something.
I’m not sure how, but when I attempted to post the last two entries, their titles tried very hard to run away from me. I don’t like that.It looks intact now, but let’s see what happens after a run through the post creation machine. I may be titling it again, … Read the rest

In which life says hello, and the blog takes a back seat.
This is what happens when life takes off at full speed. The blog tends to sit over here and do several different kinds of collecting dust. Newyears resolution: correct this malfunction, immediately. Thinga have been happening in wicked fast pace here, which naturally means I haven’t actually been even keeping … Read the rest

Think of this post the next time I feel like mocking Quebec.
This probably only applies to those Canadians who read this thing. For everyone else, there’s google–or just ask a Canadian. Remember all those jokes–half of them probably not quite joking–about the way folks over in that other province not far from here like to drive? And by drive, I mean … Read the rest

When in doubt, just do it yourself. Or, how about, not really.
I want to start this entry off with a comment like “Only in America.” or something to that affect, but I don’t even know anymore. Still, this one’s from California, so do with it what you will. A Glendale man decided, rather than wait for a date with the nearest … Read the rest

Reason number 8792 why not to buy your electronics at Staples.
Generally speaking, I don’t buy my equipment from your typical big box store if it can be helped just on basic principle, and because you don’t have as much flexibility when doing that. But I’ve been known to on occasion. This might just change my mind. Staples has been slapped … Read the rest

A tiny little note on post-migration oopsies.
When moving something like a WordPress blog from a server run by crooks to a server run by yourself, who is at least twice as cool, it helps to not be a moron and actually remember to move over your geekily hacked together .htaccess file along with it. Unless, that … Read the rest

Job application fail.
You are a manufacturer of computers. Most if not all of those computers will be running Microsoft software. Yes, up to and including Internet Explorer. There are techy type folks who still use Internet Explorer–mostly because what they do doesn’t yet fully support those other browsers (damn you, industry standards). … Read the rest

Just when you thought all the Weiner jokes were getting kind of old.
Remember this guy? Yeah, that one. US Congressman Anthony Weiner (I can’t even type that with a straight face). After being caught showing his off on Twitter, he’s been under some pressure to get help, probably resulting in some kind of medication, and give up his position–something he’s not … Read the rest
