The OS X Dock in Windows

The incredible frogb0y is on the loose again. I really oughta add Brad to my blogroll, eh? He's been writing some pretty good stuff. My kind of blogger – tech bent, eye level, and generally realistic. For someone who owns an interface customization company, his design isn't quite what I would have expected. We crashed [...]

The Third Degree

While most Americans will be gathered 'round the dinner table at some point tomorrow, I'll be sitting in front of the television with a hot laptop on my… lap (with a heavy cloth or two sheilding the family jewels). Staying home was my choice to make, as I've got some tasks to start and finish [...]

Lookout 2000

Is your Outlook 2000 SP3 spiking to 100% CPU cycles after a few seconds of non-usage, too? I'm discovering more and more people are being sacked by this thing. So, here's something I inadvertently discovered during testing: when a reminder pops up, the CPU returns to normal. The good news is, you can set a [...]

I Can See!

My left eye keeps watering – it's getting used to my new prescription! Yeah, I've got new glasses. They're red, just like Sally Jesse's.

Your Momdex

COMDEX was neither underwhelming nor overwhelming. After all was said and done, I felt pretty whelmed. Some said that this was the smallest one “ever” – which is erroneous. I believe that the market has shifted in favor of the consumer, and since most companies, marketers, and media analysts have their heads up each others [...]

Schlumpy Morning Vodka Farts

My wife is hungover, and I would like to blame the following people: Cheyenne, Cheyenne, and Cheyenne. Hoopty and I were innocent bystanders. We don't believe in imbibing the booze to have a good time. Nay, we'd much rather geek out in front of the screen. I showed him Knoppix and he was muy impressed. [...]

That'll Learn Me

You know me – I'm a diehard Outlook 2000 user. I tried Outlook XP and found its flaws to be unbearable. Most likely, that's because I'm not connecting to an Exchange server. I'll explain that more in just a moment. Anyway, I decided to give Office 2000 SP3 a go. For the most part, the [...]

No, There Is Another

My friends, I cannot keep this a secret any longer: someone has come in between Gretchen and me. It all started with innocent flirting, and wound up becoming an all-out love affair. When my wife was asleep, I'd sneak over and play around for hours on end. And the sad part is: Gretchen is very [...]

Begun The Clone War Has

Wow… why didn't somebody tell me that Linux GUIs were so unrefined?! I'm kinda turned off by the whole thing at this point. Sure, it's got power – but so does OS X (and it doesn't make me gag when I use it). I was enchanted with Apple's new operating system because it felt nice. [...]

I sh*t you not. Mark from New Albany, IN writes: “hello all: maybe some one here can help me out can some one tell me where do you all get that dumn ass Chris Pirillo from anyway ? the guy is sick he sucks big time and call for help is going down hill fast. [...]

True or False?

The only reason why TechTV has a Call for Help rerun is so that people can miss the show a second time.

The Scobles

For those of you who didn't already know, Gretchen and I went to Tahoe this weekend for a wedding. No, we're already married – although we may renew our vows when they expire next year. Iowa has this funny little law that's kinda like a date on the bottom of the milk carton. When the [...]

If I Could Save Time in a Bottle

Nov 5, 2002 | 4 Comments

I'm rather enjoying our new morning time slot; the day feels less broken-up. I still have a dozen errands to do before I head home, but at least I can relax a bit before tackling my next task. If I worked for the federal government like SOME PEOPLE, then I'd be blogging things left and [...]
