My favorite holiday is only a little over one week away, so this link is to help you prepare for it in case you forgot: talklikeapirate.com September 19th! I see from the 2008 local observances list that my former co-workers over at AOL are observing the day with big plans; prepare to be boarded!
Senator John McCain is telling lies for personal gain. That shows a lack of integrity. Integrity is the most crucial moral characteristic that every holder of high office must have. Clearly demonstrating a lack of integrity means that not only should McCain be disqualified from running for President, he should also be forced to resign […]
A couple of friends asked for this recently, and I had not updated in a while – so I made the list into a page and updated it, and it is available at: https://blog.scottnolan.org/essential-mac-os-x-applications/ I’ll take suggestions and add them once I figure them out.
I have a rather large AddressBook on my various Mac computers, it weighs in at 1679 entries, though many of those are goofy duplications of email addresses that showed up when I botched an upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.5.1. Both MobileMe and .Mac have done an excellent job of keeping the AddressBook application data on […]
I have dumped Sprint/Nextel service, which leaves me with a very good phone I no longer need. So, would anyone like a Nextel branded Motorola i580? This thing is rugged. Toughest multimedia flip phone on the planet. You can literally throw it out a 6th story window and expect it to be fine. It can […]
We’ve been getting heavy rain for several hours now, generated from a storm that is still over 300 miles away. That’s pretty impressive when you stop to think about it. Look at the map below, and rain is already hitting people all along Long Island Sound; I am just impressed. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200808_sat.html Update: Bailey, our Maine […]
I used to love Sprint. When they were an underdog long-distance provider competing with AT&T and MCI for your long distance plan on a land line they were fascinating, cutting edge, and competitive. Prices were attractive, and for a while I had Sprint as my long distance provider on my phone…. I carried an AT&T […]
Senator McCain talked a lot about change last night. He claimed to be the agent for change. So, Senator McCain, I have two questions for you that you mysteriously did not include in your long winded speech: 1) What exactly are you planning to change? Hell, what are you offering to change that you probably […]
The more I think about, the more sure I am that McCain’s choice of Palin for running mate clearly shows us all exactly how much thought he’ll put into future Supreme Court Justice nominations and cabinet nominations. Who would he pick for Secretary of Defense? Who would he pick for key ambassador positions to countries […]
Isn’t it funny how the liberal media the ring-wing noise machine keeps ranting about simply does not exist? Crooks and Liars has an excellent analysis of the foiled attempt to shoot Barack Obama, United States Attorney of Colorado Troy Eid’s attempt to portray this as a minor threat, and the media (all networks) simply not […]
