Okay, so let me preface this by saying I get déjà vu a lot -- way more often than any normal person should. But this time, I think I'm right that this exact thing has happened before, and I'm pretty damned angry about it. Note: this rant may not be as vitriolic as you've come to expect. It's a lot more explanatory in nature, and might not be as ( Read more... )

Well, since I'm up this early, I guess everyone else is still probably optimistically sleeping. But as of now, 92% of precincts have reported 51.9% yes on 8. It hasn't been called, but it's not too early to have an effect on me ( Read more... )

Dear god. Let me just start by making something clear. There are few things in this world more unsettling to me than an unfinished story.

Shortly after update #1, I got a confirmation and a notice that Microsoft was sending me an empty box a.k.a. "coffin" for my 360. They also ( Read more... )

I'm relatively certain I've ranted about iTunes before. There are plenty of reasons to do so. The fact is, however, that the goddamned updater finally broke my spirit and I decided to give it a fair try. I still don't like the interface. It requires focus to do anything (meaning a second click), it takes up a whole monitor, and it's just ( Read more... )

This is another rant. It will likely be eerily similar to my rant about the TV Guide channel ( Read more... )

The bathroom closest to my office features two stalls and a urinal. For most people, this poses an obvious use pattern: if you only need to pee and the urinal is available, use the urinal. Otherwise (and only otherwise) use a stall. I mean, shit... that's why it's there ( Read more... )
