The Mac guys start calling Vista names already:
MacDailyNews starts the name calling already: “Microsoft’s Windows ‘Vista’ promises similar features to Apple’s already-shipping Mac OS X.”
Oh, really?
<snipped several defensive statements that don’t really have anything to do with the fact that Vista is not here yet. Go ahead and read the rest.>

Tactical decision:

Q: So what do you call a Macintosh with a Pentium inside?
A: ICBM (Intel-Chip-Based Mac)

Nice!

Dell hell, continued: Self-service:
I was thinking about this service process, in which Dell and other computer makers make us suffer through service with them. They take some S&M glee in making us wait on hold and talk to their people for hours (costing them money, by the way).
<…>
But with computers, we are expected to suffer [...]

I was just amused at myself today, thinking about some of the things I’ve set up for security on this blog. For example, I have a new plugin on Wordpress (my blogging software) called Bad Behavior. I just installed it this morning. You can see it in the Statistics section of the sidebar. It is [...]

SD stands for Software Dilletante. Yet another attempt at a software program. This one is an old tried and true program I’ve used for a while when it was free, called MacJournal.
Pardon the hell out of me if I like to try out programs before I go to using one permanently. I’ve tried Ecto, MarsEdit [...]

A quote from one of my favorite blogs, BuzzMachine:
Stupidity averted
: So the filibuster meltdown option is avoided. And a good thing it is. I don’t think the peopel [sic] would have tolerated political war and a congressional shutdown.
(Via BuzzMachine.)
Personally, I don’t think anyone would have noticed a congressional shutdown. I think it’s always a good [...]

Yes, I’m a software dilettante. I’m trying out yet another weblog editor. This one is called MarsEdit. It seems pretty good, but I wonder what I think I’m missing in MarsEdit that isn’t in ecto. I think it might have something to do with preferences that I set in ecto that I don’t seem to [...]

I just found some new programs I’m going to try and use for a while. This one is called ecto. It’s a blog client that lets me write my blog while I’m offline and then post it whenever I want.

This is me before I found out about ecto. Note the fearful gaze, the lack of [...]

Some amazing sandstorm photos.
