Fun Safari Tip
Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Here’s a fun tip for Safari users that I learned by reading my new OSX book…

If you are several directories down in a site and would like to go “up” a few levels, instead of deleting text from the address bar and pressing enter, just hold Command (the Apple key) and click on the title […]

QotD: Cook
Tuesday, February 24th, 2004

Question: How often do you cook dinner for yourself or others?

Answer: I generally don’t cook much of anything. My lovely wife will usually make something simple like pasta or some sandwiches. If I’m on my own I make macaroni and cheese and hot dogs and cereal most of the time. Occasionally we’ll cook together if […]

Question of the Day
Tuesday, February 24th, 2004

I’m going to start answering Erik’s Question of the Day on here because I’d like to post more, but don’t always have anything to say. So this way I’ll always have at least one post per day, and maybe that will help me find other things to talk about as well.

Random iPod Playlist
Thursday, February 19th, 2004

This has been going around on a few blogs lately (I found it via Blue Plaid Shirt)… You put your iPod on Shuffle (I always do anyway) then make a list of the first 15 songs, no matter how embarrassing! I don’t think much of my music is that embarrassing, but we’ll see what happens….

1. […]

OneWord: Switch
Tuesday, February 17th, 2004

My wife’s parents came down to visit this weekend, and her dad helped fix the lighting in our kitchen/dining room. For around 6 months we haven’t had light in either room except for the light above the stove. Turns out we just needed to replace the lightbulbs! Actually one of the lights really didn’t work. […]

Honda Element
Friday, February 13th, 2004

My wife and I picked up our new car yesterday, a 2004 Honda Element 2WD EX. It’s our first ever brand new car, so we’re pretty excited about it. We traded in the other two, as both had high mileage and were requiring a lot of repairs. Especially my wife’s Jeep, which had major transmission […]

OneWord: Breathing
Friday, February 13th, 2004

I love the little pulsating light on my Macs that lets me know they are sleeping. It makes it look like they are calmly breathing as they sleep, all happy and cozy… Yes I’m aware it’s just a computuer, but Macs are a whole lot more personable than a Windows machine. You can’t really […]

OneWord: Late
Wednesday, February 11th, 2004

Late fees are a thing of the past now that I use Netflix, just like the marketing says! It really is quite nice to just queue up the movies you want to watch and have them delivered a couple of days after you send one back. Then you can keep it as long as you […]

RSS Feeds
Tuesday, February 10th, 2004

If you happen to subscribe to my RSS feeds, you will notice that I changed it to include the full entry, because it seems like the cool thing to do these days. So sorry if you just got all excited because there were suddenly a dozen new entries in your Newsreader, only to find out […]

OneWord: Bike
Tuesday, February 10th, 2004

The first bike I remember having was one that I got in Florida while my family visited my grandma. I think she bought it for me. It was a white and red and black BMX bike. I learned to ride it on the flat roads of Florida after my dad put on the training wheels. I rode it a lot, crashed a lot. Had that same bike for years and years until my dad got me a Bridgestone MB6 mountain bike, which was pretty nice. Until it got stolen out of the fenced patio of his condo a few years later. I missed it. Haven’t owned a bike since then. I just can’t bring myself to replace my old MB6… Sniffle… :)
