The RIAA is now threatening to cut iTunes off if Apple doesn’t raise the cost of select songs (ie popular ones that they can gouge listeners for) and give them a cut of their iPod sales! That is simply the greediest thought I’ve ever heard anybody admit to, let alone say out loud and publically!

Johnny Magic Rolling Stone has a captivating article about the rise of a geek hero, Jon Finkle. Nothing to do with computers, but cards. Not poker, but Magic. I’ve never even seen a Magic: The Gathering card, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless.
Frvade! A challenging online riddle — or really, a series of puzzles. Very […]

Killian is on the cusp of a verbal explosion! Typically, soon after children start using two word combinations, they hit a verbal explosion and suddenly, in just a few months, they vocabulary quadruples and they start using short phrases. The only two-word phrase Killy is speaking right now is “Hi Dada” (and he might have […]

Forget Serenity. This is much more exciting!
I am just floored that I didn’t know about this sooner. Mirrormask is a Neil Gaiman movie, brought to life by the Jim Henson studio and directed by Dave McKean, my favorite graphic artist of all time.

I think both of the new shows I’ve been watching, Bones and Supernatural, are strengthening. I’m still not sure enough about the potential of Supernatural to know if it’s a long-term trend or a nice short-term boost, but I’ll ride with it for a while at least. My biggest problem is that I simply don’t […]

Lately I’ve been having trouble with my laptop’s hard drive — including the click-o-death once. Very scary. I got a new hard drive last week, and after some really frustrating problems with copying my existing hard drive onto the new one, I finally got it installed.
I’ve never taken my laptop apart. I’ve taken desktop’s apart […]

This is amusing. A pro-war group organized a rally for today to counter the anti-war rally held a few days ago. The anti-war rally from a few days ago had around 100,000 people, and the pro-war group was expecting about as many.
How many showed up? 400 people. No, that’s not a typo. Only four […]

I let Jen have a “mom” vacation today, and she seems to have had a wonderful day off! I took Killy all day today (except for a couple of times when he nursed — I’m just not equipped to handle that) and we had such a good time! I don’t think he was feeling […]
