I have been listening to Christmas music non-stop at my work now since the week before Thanksgiving. I work a mandatory 10 hour day, and at Christmas a 6 day week. I am an auditory guy. I like to use my ears. I am an unknown number of songs away from [...]

I get a kick out of what names companies are struggling to come up with to name their products. Red isn’t good enough anymore, and hasn’t been so for probably 80 years or more. That’s a longtime to keep having to rename a color. So, here’s a list of product names at [...]

My CD-Rom drive works OK. Seems I have a drive conflict perhaps related to my chip set and should contact my computer manufacturer post-haste. This is according to the diagnostic tool Ipod provides. This also explains why my wife’s previous non-Ipod software locked up our computer. It had the same problem. [...]

Allow me to expound ever more slightly on the adventures (and misadventures) of owning an Ipod. Well, first let me talk about Apple computers. It has been opined that Apple PCs are for techies, that they can be hard to use, that they are more for the electronically savvy. This has possibly [...]

Mooooo. Or is it baaaaaaaaaaaa?

I have purchased an Ipod. Actually the wife purchased it, I sorta experienced the event in a second hand fashion. I have joined the masses, I have willingly allowed myself to float on the river Fad and become a part of the pop-culture masses that worship at [...]

Every night I log on I check my Comments section. Not because I expect there to be a long list of comments from a wide variety of new and interesting people (though that would be nice) but because my comments area is full of the wildest, most outrageous sickening spam you could imagine. [...]
