woo hoo

You’ll need Quicktime to enjoy my latest silly movie.

I went to the Tigard Mac Store today and with the help of Erick I picked up a MacMice Mouse and a MacMice SightFlex. The mouse is nice – It is a little loud when clicking, and due to how they implemented the two buttons, when you pick it up to reposition, it drops away… Continue reading Two MacMice products I got

Original GarageBand music

My friend Coreen created this really cool song in GarageBand using her guitar, voice and some percussion loops. Very cool!

Hay! Colin!

Elizabeth took me to see Colin Hay of Men At Work fame last night in a very small setting at Artichoke Music on Hawthorne. Less than 50 people fit in the room and the man was a hoot! Very fun, great music, much fun was had. Colin has had a solo career since Men At… Continue reading Hay! Colin!

Spam Count

I use a program called SpamSieve as my spam filter on the Mac. I turned off Apple’s Mail.app spam because I like SS better, as it is updated more, it works with many email clients and has statistics. Since 1/26/04, I have received 1233 good emails and 10,000 spam. In other words, 90% of the… Continue reading Spam Count

Hooters arrives in Oregon

Yes, it has happened.

Goodbye Pronto, hello Harmony

I’ve been a Pronto user for many users now. I loved my pronto, but I didn’t love designing screens, the lack of hard buttons nor teaching people how to use it. So when I heard about the Harmony, I waited for awhile and then finally picked one up. Pros Anyone with a home theater, or… Continue reading Goodbye Pronto, hello Harmony

She Bangs

If ever someone needed a reminder that anyone, I mean anyone can make it in this country with a little courage, honesty and determination, William Hung’s popularity, whose life expectancy is unknown, is that proof. Close to signing a record deal, police escort, clogging the streets of Berkeley to get a view of this guy… Continue reading She Bangs

I suck

I was out shopping with Elizabeth last night and bought a bottle of Pepsi, which I thought was a winner – Wrong. I suck! LOL

Change!

It was suggested to me that I needed a little more color in my bathrooms, so color I have now, in the guest bath at least. At the same time, I have always hated how unorganized my bathrooms were, so a couple of trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond and I have all new shelving,… Continue reading Change!

Great gifts

So Simeon was so awesome and got me a 20th Anniversary Apple poster and shipped it to me, so I framed it. Then while out shopping with Elizabeth she hauled me into the going out of business KayBee Toys and I found the most awesome ornaments! I didn’t really have any of my own since… Continue reading Great gifts

Fun weekend

I had a couple of dates with the same woman and it was a lot of fun to get out after a week inside. We went to Jenn’s tap group dance program which was thoroughly enjoyable. I have no idea how they remember all of those steps, it has to be millions! People could not… Continue reading Fun weekend

Ack

Went to the optometrist today. $360 later, I’ll have new lenses. My right eye is actually getting reduced one notch. I paid for an Optosis eye scan, is a new device, takes a 200 degree high res photo of your eye, laser enhanced. It showed a periphery degeneration in my right eye, which he said… Continue reading Ack

I really like iTunes Music Store

I just purchased my 132nd song since the store opened. Much more than I normally buy in a year, and these are all songs I like. I just saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch on DVD and loved the music, so I launched iTunes, did a search and yes, a partial album is there. I… Continue reading I really like iTunes Music Store

Update on moi

Life has certainly been interesting as of late! On a personal note, I’ve had some really fun dates, I have been exploring myself more and more, taking more chances and have been pleased by what I have learned. I am on new meds which actually seem to be working – I’m finding it easier to… Continue reading Update on moi

Finally

The trailblazers finally traded away Rasheed Wallace. Yay! I can finally start to like this team. The old blazers were a bunch of self-involved, excuse making, trouble making players – These new guys appear community centric and maybe can give the kids someone to look up to.
