Busted! I Have No Business Giving Mac Advice


It was not my place. The last Apple product I owned was a Mac SE with one mg ram.  At least Adam was amused:  

"In a usergroup dedicated to troubleshooting of a particular software app, one frustrated user posted a note titled,
'Can't get it up on a Mac!'
The immediate reply, I felt, was on target and priceless:
'Red wine and a Barry White album might do the trick.'"

First Entry in the Isn't There a Word for This Category


"So I'm off to the dentist today for a major upgrade of the architecture....I wonder if there's a metaphor, or an axiom, in this situation -- like, maybe, do it the strongest way the first time..."

The Wire - Is Anyone Else Hooked? I Need to Discuss Episode #10


Are there any fans of HBO's The Wire out there? Tonight's episode was absolutely off the hook! Shakeema Greggs was the glue of that department and a central character of the show. Taking her out of commission once again validates the courage of David Simon and HBO to shape the story with complete independence from the ratings needle.

The rumors of no second season aren't so hard to believe now. How could they possibly write another 13 episodes at this caliber?   (commentlink will go here when I figure it out...)
