Keith’s Complete Waste of Time

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…

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 [...]

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 bought a [...]

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.

Loretta says she can get it for me in Japanese; I obviously know it in English, and I know these as well:

Canadian: “I did not vote for him, eh? Please accept my apologies.”

Australian: “Crickey, I did [...]

My thought was: Wow. Finally, someone has decided to go after the vast “Sinner” constituency. Most politicians act like they’re above sin; finally, one has decided to embrace the sinners and get all of them to vote for him.

My suggestion, though, is that the guy should put his name on his yard [...]

I mean, a month and a half since the last post?

On the other hand, I could have been dead. Did anyone call me to check that I was alive, even though I hadn’t posted in a good six weeks? SIX WEEKS! We fricking invaded Iraq in less than six weeks; that’s a [...]
