Hey, movie folks, listen...
Officially tired: zombies, vampires, serial killers, and stupid people that walk into obvious traps.
Can we get some Halloween fodder that’s a little more original and, perhaps, smarter? Pretty please with zombie juice on top?
We spend $600 a year on U-verse cable. We could buy copies of the same shows we watch once for only $300 a year.
I’ll be cancelling tonight.
I suggest everyone else ponder the same. Is “getting it live” worth $300? Is it worth a monthly bill? Is it worth just seeing it once?
And yes, you can live without reality TV. It won’t kill you. And if it will, it’s...
I really hate iPhone OS 3 (3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.1.1, and even 3.1.2). It’s turned my phone into molasses. Swipes between home screens take forever and are jittery. Every app randomly pauses for several seconds. It won’t wake from sleep half the time and I have to wait several minutes for it to finally respond or to reboot to get in. There’s a minute-long pause after taking a...
The first FORTRAN Programmer’s Reference Manual was published today in 1956. And, sadly, the language is still in use today…

Looks like the wingnuts took over the comments for the app and left smears about people that disagree with them rather than actually rating the app.
Well, that’s professional.

So, you’re in a movie you don’t like, and your backup movie is about to start. What do you do?
You and your movie-going companions leave, one-by-one, and go to the restroom. Each person should wait a random amount of time from one to five minutes, long enough to do the deed, but also to be forgotten. Then, simply leave and enter the other theater instead. It’s unlikely...
So, status updates on Twitter, media/comments on Tumblr, photo sets on Flickr, long items on HG, and Facebook pulling it all together, but only for a select few. Feels a bit spread out an inaccessible, IMO. I really need a way to bring it all together without running the whole show myself again, or at least do so in a maintenance-free way. And I greatly dislike FriendFeed, for some reason. ...
Duka duka duka!

Me: That was momma calling. She's on her way home.

There’s nothing cuter than a kid running around the house screaming and holding a stuffed bear approximately his size. Nothing at all.
I swear I just bought screws from Dale Gribble.

Oh God, and these people are coding for the phone professionally?
Forecast for the weekend? Rain. Past two weekends? Rain.
There’s a conspiracy here preventing me from mowing the lawn. I’m sure of it.
Little do they know, I enjoy the rest. :)

“Why won’t this iPod work after the restore?”
“Oh. Wait. Was that an expired beta of 3.0 I restored to? … Crap.”
And back to DFU mode we go.
Just learned how to go to iPhone OS 3.0 from 3.1: DFU, or “recovery mode”.
It erases the device and renders it unusable until you’ve installed an image on it, but that’s how you go back. Connect the device to a computer running iTunes then hold Home and Sleep for 10 seconds, then release just the Sleep button. When iTunes tells you it sees a device in recovery mode,...
I don’t remember David the Gnome being so … preachy and depressing. I’m not sure if I want to show this to Asher after all.
“Why do you come into our forests with your guns and kill our friends? Oh, I know it’s not you, you’re little, but maybe you can talk about it.”
Uhh… say WTF? I think I’ll skip that episode and see if the fun comes...

I never thought I would actually use the word boo-boo. Ever. Oi.
