Wallace
I met an old guy named Wallace today. I'd guess he's about 65, so not too old. But still. He smelled of alcohol and had an ear deformed from something traumatic. He wore one of those little latin-dude mustaches. I'd guess he was Cuban or something, though he didn't have an accent and his name was Wallace, so maybe he's white. Again, I didn't ask, ( Read more... ) -
Apple AirPlay
Music is a tricky thing for me. Sometimes, the sound just annoys me. Other times, it gets in the way of receiving phone calls. Not so noticeable now, but playing music on the computer always annoyed me due to the extra strain on the processor when I'm trying to get work done ( Read more... ) -
Joplin, mo
I'm in Joplin, visiting my mom. Usually, I come in May. Last May, I didn't come. Then, there was a giant cluster tornado that came through town and area bunch of houses, 18,000 cars, the hospital, the elementary, middle and high schools, churches, home depot, walmart and so forth.

Step One:

Father's Day
I have a friend who is a reviewer. Last weekend, she was reviewing a mountain lodge up the street from me (no, really, I can get a dose of 8000' weather and air any time I want with a 30 minute drive up the hill. It's like Telluride in my back yard. I almost never take advantage of this resource though, because it's usually a parking disaster and ( Read more... ) -
Netflix suggestions
I got Adrienne Netflix for her birthday. We've been watching it non-stop ever since. The most challenging aspect of on-demand media delivery is content discovery. Netflix has a LOT of content, but it isn't the most carefully curated collection. Fortunately, their instant download collection expands every week. I don't use them for DVD's at all.

Twitter Update!
- 10:56 @ kattkahr Optima batteries are even more, but totally worth it, IMO. #
- 10:57 @ AlyxMurder out of Twitterific, Echofon, Tweetdeck and Twitter/Tweetie, I prefer the latter. #
- 11:29 ANTZ is such a bad movie. I'm pretty sure there's no reason I'd ever want a middle aged Jew talking about his sexual fantasies in a cartoon. #
