Logical Conclusions

So, if Republicans are correct and lowering tax rates always leads (in the long term) to the government taking in more revenues than it would have at the higher tax rate, isn’t the logical conclusion that the tax rate should be 0 and that would lead to the government taking in the most possible tax [...]

My Woot Bag of Crap!

So, after a couple years of trying really hard to get a mythical Woot Bag of Crap, and cursing every time the stupid server of theirs would go down the instant the bag of crap came up for purchase, I’d given up hope.  But, a few weeks back there was a Woot off, and I [...]

My Peggy 2 clock idea

I’m a bit of a clock guy, and I’ve got a bunch in my house and in my office.  I’ve got bunches of regular analog clocks.  I’ve got my grandparent’s mantle clock that they were given for their wedding in the early 1930s, which we wind with a key and which chimes on the hour [...]

I rode 25 miles and didn’t die!

 

As some of you know, because I emailed you and asked you to donate to the American Diabetes Association for my ride in the Napa Tour de Cure.  My friend, Mark, had organized a team, and because I had the same kind of bike as he has he asked me if I’d like to join [...]

ARGH!

I’ve been playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on my Wii ( and having fun ), but somehow I never thought it would get Lord Vader on my case…

The view from the stage at Stump the Experts, at WWDC 2008

Every year, one of the sessions I’m involved with at Apple’s World-wide Developer’s Conference is called Stump the Experts. Ostensibly, it’s a “game” show, where the developers are suppose to ask trivia questions about (mostly) the Macintosh, and we answer them, because we’re all experts and know pretty much everything. I’ve been on [...]

What I spend my evenings doing…

I’ve been a Lego addict for, well, forever. The need waxes and wanes — as a child I played with my Lego so much that the school had me meeting with a psychologist who was concerned that I didn’t have any friends. At least I assume that’s why I was seeing her.

Anyway, I’ve [...]

Signed by Steve Wozniak Memorabilia

So, back in January, at MacWorld, a guy out in front of the center handed me a flyer. Anyone who has been to MacWorld knows that folks are constantly trying to hand you brochures and information sheets, and occasionally glossy pictures of strippers. Most of the time I politely refuse, but I took [...]
