The last two weeks have been filled with work, travel, and a lack of blogging.
We returned from Cincinnati yesterday, and I’m getting back into the normal rhythm of home again. Hopefully I will keep you entertained better going forward.
Weblogs
Waxy has a great post with links to superb mixes from the 80s. Absolutely kick ass stuff.
Martin has changed his blog to maximum annoy factor, knowing I hate cicadas.
Squidly has a copy of a hilarious Apple Switch Ad. Mac Lover or Hater. You’ll laugh at this.
Alex at Handcoding has a recipe for Peanut Butter/Honey/Bacon/Banana sandwiches that I much try. It’s like a chokersandwich on steroids. Don’t tell my wife.
Politics
Looks like President Bush is starting to take some heat for a wrecked economy and an overseas quagmire. It’s about time. This election looks to be a humdinger of a slugfest. No centrists allowed. In an article at Salon about the election I read these tasty bits about the Democrats and thier feelings toward Bush.
It’s not just his harebrained ideological nostrums for how to reorder America and the world. They hate him and it’s personal. They hate his frat-boy smirk, his phony fly-boy act, his cringe-inducing mangling of the language, his born-again sanctimony, even his Texas twang and his godforsaken, tumbleweed ranch where only someone as fence-post-dumb as W. would hole up in August.
Hell, yeah. Let’s get this tussle started.
I’m sorry, but thses things really bug me. The video is ALMOST clever. He tries, it’s a good effort, but if you’re going to mock Apple you have to do it regarding things that Windows doesn’t do worse. For example, he complains the force-quit APPLE-PERIOD-ESC or whatever is difficult or unnatural for the hand. OK, I accept that. But is that any different than ctrl-alt-delete? And in Windows, COPY and PASTE give me arthritis. The ctrl key is too far away from the C and the V. Which do you use more often, force quit or copy? Nice try, but he needs to refine his ranting.
Giving praise to the almighty blue apple was good though.
Ctrl key too far from the C key? WTF? Are you Johan the tiny handed boy? Do you juggle grains of rice for entertainment and struggle with their girth? Seems so. 😀
Mac users are in denial.
