QotD: Games
Tuesday, March 9th, 2004

Question: Do you play games? If so, what kind?

My Answer: Yes, I certainly do. Though I haven’t much lately for lack of time, and probably won’t for quite a while for the same reason. I play games on the Mac, GameBoy Advance games, GameCube games, etc. I like most genres; action, role-playing, puzzle, adventure, first […]

QotD: Returns
Monday, March 8th, 2004

Question: Do you abuse or ignore return policies?

My Answer: Not that I know of. I assume abusing them would be buying a $1,000 digital camera, using it for 29 days, and returning it to the store to get a refund before your time limit is up, then buying another camera at another store and doing […]

QotD: Invest
Sunday, March 7th, 2004

Question: Do you invest in the stock market?

My Answer: No. I hardly ever have enough money to pay the bills and buy cool stuff, let alone invest my money in some silly stock market.

QotD: .Mac
Saturday, March 6th, 2004

Question: Do you have a .Mac account? Do you use it? For how long have you had it? Will you renew?

My Answer: Yes I do have one. Yes I use the bookmark and address book syncing all the time, as well as the easy iPhoto galleries. I’ve had it since I got my first Mac, […]

QotD: Chat
Friday, March 5th, 2004

Question: What’s your chat client of choice?

My Answer: I use iChat to talk with iChat/AIM users, and MSN Messenger to talk with MSN people. I’ve tried a couple of the multi-network chatting programs, but they aren’t as cool as iChat, and there is no point in using one of them just to use MSN, so […]

QotD: Fonts
Thursday, March 4th, 2004

Question: How many fonts do you have?

My Answer: On the Mac I only have 98 fonts. All but 3 or 4 of those are the standard fonts that come with the OS. And they are all really nice fonts, much better than the pitiful default selection on Windows. On the Windows machine at work we […]

QotD: Haircutting
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2004

Question: How much do you pay for a haircut?

My Answer: Around $10 every couple of years. I just buy a cheap pair of clippers and buzz my own head once a month or so. Then I buy another pair of clippers in a couple of years when the current pair gets dull and starts ripping […]

QotD: Cable
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2004

Question: Do you steal cable (or satellite service, etc.)? Have you ever?

My Answer: No I don’t, No I haven’t. We just get the super basic package along with our cable internet. All the broadcast channels, and TBS, WGN, and some shopping channel. I do miss the discovery channel and Animal Planet though.

QotD: Camera Phones
Sunday, February 29th, 2004

Question: Does your phone have a camera?

My Answer: No, our phone is 2 years old. And it has been chewed up by the dog, dropped dozens of times, and run over by a car, so it might be time for a new one when we can afford it. We can get a free one […]

QotD: Recent Movies
Sunday, February 29th, 2004

Question: What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the past week?

My Answer: Probably The Man Who Wasn’t There with Billy Bob Thornton. It was a black and white film noir type thing. I liked his character a lot because he’s very similar to me… Very quiet and laid back in person. He referred to everyone […]
