On the iPad, Daring Fireball, and other crap that undoubtedly is of interest to no one but me
Earlier today, I had reason to reference an old John Gruber article, Windows: The New Classic, as I have several times since that article first appeared at Daring Fireball back in April 2006. In addition to providing a terrific explanation of why Boot Camp was important, what segment of the market it would appeal to, [...]

You can’t just ask customers what they want…
You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.

FFRF blasts USPS for its plans to issue Mother Teresa stamp
Even putting aside the FFRF’s complaint that the move violates postal regulations prohibiting the honoring of “individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings”, you just gotta ask yourself why Mother Teresa?
No really. Let’s just say that Mother Teresa was no saint! You do your own research and your own thinking on this [...]
Gotta have one, I just can’t yet explain precisely why…
…which I’m going to have to be able to do before “running it by my wife”. At least I’ve got some time.
Call me an Apple fanboy if you must (and that’s fine, I make my living as a “Senior Windows Developer” so it’s not going to phase me one bit), but I just have to [...]

If you think an innocent man doesn’t need a lawyer…
…then consider for a moment the fact that nearly one quarter (25%) of the cases of DNA exoneration in the United States involve a false confession. Remember that the next time you say to yourself that you (or your kid) would never confess to something you didn’t do…

My wish for the upcoming Apple event
What, only one? Well, this will probably surprise any Machead reading this, but it has nothing to do with the “tablet-thingy”. My wish? Take the AppleTV to the next level.
Personally, as someone who’s been waiting a long time to see the AppleTV become something more than just my iTunes library on my TV, I’d like [...]

Gee, if only…
…someone would post a comment telling me how I could obtain affordable insurance, or how I could get in to the exciting world of online gaming, or how to obtain real–or generic–Levitra® or Cialis® or Viagra®, or for that matter, Trazodone or OxyContin®…
Oh, if only…
10 New Year’s resolutions every photographer should make
Better late than never, right? Good advice–even for the serious (or semi-serious, like me) amateur.
Gay teen worried he might be Christian
Hellacious hilarity from The Onion:
LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He’s a member of his school’s swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A [...]
Penn Jillette on paranormal phenomena
Paranormal phenomena? I don’t believe in it. The word “paranormal” itself means it doesn’t happen. When you say something’s “supernatural” or “paranormal” it means the person saying it doesn’t believe in it. If it really happens, it’s “normal” and it’s “natural.” Anything that’s real is “normal” and “natural.” When someone says “paranormal” or “supernatural” they’ve [...]
American Red Cross: International Response Fund

What is an atheist? Fuck if I know, but everyone else seems to know perfectly well!
Allow me a simple rant… I really just can’t stand it when a Christian*–or anyone else for that matter–tells me “what an atheist believes”.
Judging by the frequency that the “atheist blogosphere” writes about this topic, I’ll go ahead and venture a guess that I’m not alone in my frustration; there have been some very [...]
