When Palm released the Centro a little while back, I had just purchased my Trēo from eBay. I was satisfied with my purchase, but certainly not thrilled, in part because it looked like Palm had just let their OS languish. It did what I needed it to do (sometimes well, sometimes badly), and no more. Granted, I pushed the device, but only because I expect a lot out of my hardware. When the Trēo crapped out, I started looking at purchasing the Nokia N810 internet tablet. It’s an attractive little piece of hardware, to be sure, but upwards of $400 is ...

NB: I wrote this on the train on Saturday, then found that Blogger doesn't work on mobile devices. Typical. It's really out-of-date now, but I will do a further update soon. Not immediately, as I am exhausted from a *really* complicated weekend...!Ha. So my aim of posting nearly-daily has, um, not happened. To be fair, I lost my computer for a week due to a software problem. (It has now been returned to me relatively unscathed, thanks be to God and all Her angels. We all know what life as a disabled person without a computer is like. I don't ...

I love awards shows. So I’ve created another awards category for this site called the Golden Short Bus Hall of Shame. Induction into the Golden Short Bus Hall of Shame is very difficult, because induction is reserved for those whose comments about gays and lesbians have managed to reach a level of stupid that was believed to be unattainable, so gaining admission into the Hall of Shame is very prestigious. A couple of weeks ago, Tila Tequila took credit for the California Supreme Court’s decision to un-ban same sex marriage. I didn’t post the story on Grace the Spot ...

George Carlin dies of heart failure at 71 Oh, what the hell…71 is not that old. What’s he doing, dropping dead like that? :-( I think it’s safe to say that the world is definitely a little less jolly today. ...

Whenever those opposed to gay rights begin randomly talking about our Brave Soldiers Fighting For Our Freedom (tm), I have to admit that the hairs on my neck stand up. Also, it cues me to think of Fred Phelps and his reprehensible message that "God hate fags" and, because (some) of America accepts fags, then God also hates America.Thankfully, Phelps, a bona fide member of the asinine for attention club, isn't taken very seriously by pretty much anyone anymore. In fact, I give props to Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth [sic] About Homosexuality for calling Phelps out on ...

I made a second attempt at those water shots...I still think I could do better, but it was still enjoyable doing them. Take 3: maybe tonight or tomorrow.This morning I woke up to the alarm and tutted to myself thinking: why on earth did you put the alarm on when it's Sunday. I was about to turn it off and go back to sleep when the day & time was announced on the radio and I realised that Sunday had already been and gone. Time is going by far too fast. ...

That's what it cost me to fix our downstairs toilet.Woo hoo!It's been leaking since before we went on vacation and Joanne kept threatening to call a plumber. The last time we did this it took him all of fifteen minutes and he billed us over $100.So, last night (after she went off to work and I had the house to myself) I went into the bathroom, lifted the top off the tank and peered into the murky innards.The handle looked okay.The floatie thingie looked okay.That little boat in the middle was the trouble. It was the only thing ...

I got it into my head to change my login and logout sounds this evening. It really ought to have been a simple enough exercise: install Audacity, chop the sound clips to my liking, save as WAV files, drop in /usr/share/sounds, select in preferences, and enjoy aural happiness every time Sage reboots. However, I’ve been plugging away at this for a little over an hour now, and aural ecstasy is still eluding me. The specific problem, stated simply is this: something, for some reason, doesn’t like the file I created with Audacity. I love Audacity to death…it is the most powerful ...

The Girl and I each measure in at five foot three. So we were quite pleased this evening when the two people who sat down in front of us at the Comcast Center (fka Tweeter Center, fka Great Woods) were an equally heighted (or perhaps less) couple. Finally, we'd be able to see a show without doing the constant back and forth head rock in order to see various parts of the stage.Imagine our distress when the tiny couple were told they were in the wrong seats and they had to move over two. The bearers of this sad news ...

We're back! Had a lovely time in the mountains.One question: Does good baby bird karma cancel out bad snake karma?On our last night in the cabin Joanne and I were taking the dogs out to potty before bed and there was a big black snake sliding along the hand rail on the porch. She saw it first and jumped back into the house. I kind of froze and watched it for a second. This guy was huge!Well, he was like three feet long and a couple of inches in diameter. He looked at me and I looked at ...

El martes es Sant Joan en Catalunya, y se celebra de una manera muy especial: Comiendo Coca (un pastel plano con frutas confitadas, crema y mucho azúcar), tirando petardos y cohetes, bebiendo cava y haciendo hogueras. La noche del lunes al martes se celebra la fiesta más movida del año. Como cada año, algún niño perderá un dedo con un petardo en mal estado, algún idiota beberá más de la cuenta y matará a un pobre que pasaba por allí con el coche, y puede que incluso algunas chicas se enamoren en una discoteca de un chulo piscinas. Por el otro lado, algunas ...

E-A-D-G-B-E. E-A-D-G-B-E. That can’t be so difficult to remember, right? I mean, I took piano lessons when I was younger, so I really *ought* to be able to learn how to play the guitar, yeah? But, anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes later (depending on how committed I am to learning the guitar this time), my fingers start getting uncomfortable. Gosh, pressing on those strings sort of cuts into your fingers a little bit, doesn’t it. Shouldn’t people wear leather gloves when they play these things? It’s normally the combination of discomfort and remembering what fingers are supposed to go where when ...
