Eugene Glover The Freedom From Religion Foundation’s “Imagine No Religion” billboards have gone up in a few places around the Phoenix. One of them is near Indian School and 23rd Street – which I happen to drive past each and every day – and had never seen it. My friend, John, and I were even in the … Read more
My Apple TV did something very strange today – something that I can’t recall that it has ever done before. I think it crashed. One minute it was showing my flickr screensaver and the next moment I noticed it was asking me what language I wanted my Apple TV to operate in. I choose English … Read more
This is why you don’t drink the water out if the drinking fountain at my wife’s school.
I mentioned that I got my new Mac Mini to replace my antique G4, but what I failed to mention was that I still had an older Cinema Display that’s still gorgeous (if not wide screen aspect) but it uses the older, proprietary ADC connection – which not only supplied power to the monitor, but … Read more
Hit tip to Little-Storping-On-The-Swuff for bringing to my attention that these much-anticipated Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates Commercials had begun to appear. Unfortunately, I haven’t see it on the air yet, but that’s probably because I’m not in the target demographic and don’t watch the Home Shopping Network, anyway.

If you’re like me and you’ve watched a lot of British television you’re bound to have seen references to Biggles (that’s Major James Bigglesworth to you) – the quintessential British air ace. Biggles is a fictional boys-adventure series of books spanning from the 1930s to the 1950s. However, if you’re American, even if you’ve heard … Read more
I can’t do the smile in a blog post, but… despite it still showing up on my shared computer list, Liberator, my first Mac (Dual 1.33ghz, G4 PowerMac) is dead. The naming convention doesn’t make much sense, but our second Mac was Scorpio, my wife’s eMac, now replaced by an iMac (hence the snazzy iMac … Read more
No, we didn’t go to Legoland. However, while visiting the Apple Store at Chandler Fashion Mall I learned that there is a Lego Store in the mall. How cool is that? So, as James is really hot on Lego Indiana Jones, we thought it might he time to graduate the kids up to Legos. After … Read more
