Macintosh? Why?

Why the hell does anyone use a Mac these days. To most of us who are computer literate the Macintosh is a symbol of computer user ineptitude. The best part about the Mac is that it’s NOT easier to use, DOES NOT crash less and is far more expensive for the same horsepower [...]

Felix Grundy…

It was GREAT to see everyone at Felix this year.  It never ceases to amaze me how much everyone has changed (parenthood, work, etc).  However, in the end after all the "how’s it going", "how’s work", "how are the kids", we are all still the same people we left so many years ago.  Just good [...]

Hanoi Jane

I asked the great and powerful Manly to allow me to author an article on my own, because the subject pissed me off so much I needed to get it out there somewhere.  I read a report today that in a 60 minutes interview to be shown this week, Jane Fonda will be apologizing for [...]

There is no liberal media bias (NOT).

Take a look at how the media treats the following items from both Bush and Clinton. Bush Bad, Clinton Good – Go Figure Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia – good Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq – bad Clinton spends $77 billion on war in Serbia – good Bush spends $87 billion in Iraq – bad Clinton imposes [...]

Check out this link…

Doesn’t it drive you nuts that you have to download the supposedly “free” realplayer and quicktime to watch real or quicktime videos? I found a site that offers a free alternative to the Real and Apple players. It also has some codec packs so the installation is very easy. http://www.free-codecs.com/

I just had some thoughts that I wanted to share if anyone is listening. Observations about politics, TV and other things. So what’s up with the Apprentice this season. This show is really starting to disappoint me. Last year was good but this time it seems that it’s all about The Donald (Trump) [...]
