Just another busy Saturday
I didn’t realize how much I had to do, personally and with my family, today, but it’s been productive. Really productive. It’s nice to have a Saturday where I can feel like something good is being done and I’m not grinding my wheels. That said, the quarter is coming to a close and I need [...]

On Improving Your Life
Not that I am or want to be a motivational speaker, but I have been working at improving how I think about and feel about life for a while, as the two tend to go hand in hand. As someone who vacillates between critical and applied academic work, it’s easy to fall into the trap [...]

MobileMac, Address Book, and Contact Stuff…
So I’m holding on to my mobileme account for a bit longer as I like the iphone interface rather well, but I have a question for any other remaining mobileme members or anyone who might have a clue. Maintaining info can be challenging, so I’d like to set up a way to let family update [...]

My iPhone
For a number of reasons, I never initially planned on getting an iPhone. The first gen didn’t move me, the second gen left me wanting more, but shortly after the second gen release, the desire sparked. Initially, it had more to do with the shortcomings of Palm and Satan’s own Mobile Windoze as well as [...]

Just Dumb.
In Florida, a kid was charged with 18 counts of animal cruelty and 18 charges of improperly disposing of cat bodies. Yes, I occasionally make cat jokes. You know… what’s the best thing about a cat? Fur, er, four drumsticks. Cat… the other white meat. But as someone who had their cat killed by a [...]

The famous last words of any researcher or writer is that I’ll start tomorrow. I’ve been saying that to myself for a while now. I’ll get on this, I’ll get on that. The fact of the matter is that I just haven’t had time. Between work and family, I’ve not had time. So I’m trying [...]
