circular web
So Chris asks me how to fix panther slow boots and it had been awhile, so I whip up Google and search for “panther slow boot” LOL first hit is my blog! I had forgotten I had posted on it. LOL too funny
Fascinating
According to this story at Ars, TiVo data collected during the superbowl showed that people rewound to see Janet Jackson’s breast 3 times more than they did during any other part of the game. What interesting data TiVo collects! I could care less, honestly. It fascinates me. I only rewound twice.
YES thank you Safari
Finally, we can tab between UI elements, even popup menus, and arrow keys work, typing works, YES. YES. YES. I feel like a disheveled Windows user who finally got desktop icons working properly.
Music
I’m listening to Tom Jones and Barry Manilow. Sue me.
Timberliar never gets any of my business
Justin Timberlake, whose music I don’t like anyway, reduced himself to a coward last night. It’s not because he ripped off Janet’s breast cover. Which had a star on her nipple. Who cares. The FCC calls the act “deplorable.” Who cares. Stop making sex so god damned taboo and maybe we’d not be so fucked… Continue reading Timberliar never gets any of my business
Safari closer but no cigar
Apple released a new Java and Safari today. I can finally open up a chat at matchdoctor (they use Digichat) but the cursor is in constant spin of death and clicks don’t work. people wonder why I hate Java. Go figure.
Movies I want to see
Am going to post this here so I can access it anywhere 🙂 (Like on the road on my cell) Van Helsing The Lady Killers Troy As good as it Gets Cold Mountain Lost in Translation The Alamo Shrek 2 Mooseport
Pepsi’s iTunes ad
If you’d like to see the ad without waiting for the Superbowl, head over to: http://pepsilaw.cjb.net/ It is great! Sticks it right to the RIAA! (of course the RIAA is probably getting a cut from every iTunes sale, but it is the PR of the thing)
My Song
Ok so it’s not beethoven, but I don’t know how to play any instruments hehe. However, I, me, myself, me the geek, created this little tune in Garage Band using the m audio 49 key keyboard. Ok, so it has no rhythm, so it has no theme, but I made it, and that is what… Continue reading My Song

Happy Birthday, Mac!
It was a little more than 20 years ago that I got my first Macintosh, a graduation present from my grandfather. I’m still here, many, many Macs later, and still my favorite computer. Happy Birthday, Macintosh!
Snow Video!
Here is a QuickTime Movie of the snow and ice around my home. You’ll need QuickTime 6 to watch it.

Well the freezing rain turned my four inches of snow into one solid sheet of ice! Holy smokes! I’m not going anywhere today!

Haunted Mansion Mirror
I picked up this really cool Haunted Mansion Mirror at Disneyland. It is light sensitive and shows the hitch hiking ghosts when activated. If you have QuickTime 6, you can see it in action!
I’m home, and it’s cold!
I got home this afternoon from LA, had a really nice date and am now home in my 43 degree house. It is so cold, I sat in my chair and my vinyl floor mat cracked. No fat jokes. Oh yeah, comments are off due to spam hehe. Anyway, had a really nice day, didn’t… Continue reading I’m home, and it’s cold!
