The Many Trials of Buffy

I just conjured up a memory:  I had bought Buffy, the Bondi Blue iMac in 1998 with the help of my brother.   He was kind enough to buy the iMac for me since I didn’t have a credit card with as high a limit as I needed.  All I had to do was make payments [...]

Update on Spike

Well, after thinking about it and really wishing (wanting) a new iPod, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a replacement battery for Spike with a replacement kit.  I am getting it from ipodjuice.com, which seems like a fairly good company (so far).  I’ll let you know once I’ve completed the surgery.
After much consideration, I [...]

Impending Death of Spike

Okay, maybe that’s a little melodramatic.  But, that’s how I feel right about now.  I’ve had Spike, my 20GB 4th generation ipod for almost 4 years now.  This is the one that came out right before the color screen ipods, also known as the U2 special edition, came out.  I still have the grayscale screen [...]

For the last, I don’t know, maybe 2 and a half years, I had been avoiding using my old Bondi blue iMac.  And it wasn’t because I didn’t like Buffy.  Yes, I call her Buffy.  She has been a great computer.  I got her in 1998 and for the life of me, she still works [...]

Rain

It’s raining and the weather person says that it will continue to storm throughout the night and into the weekend.  Well, that’s a find how do you do, isn’t it?
I’m fine with rain.  I actually like the rain.  I just don’t fancy being caught in the rain and the wind, to boot.  There’s nothing less [...]

The Aftermath…

Is this what we have to have in front of the animal exhibits?  I mean, isn’t it common sense that you really shouldn’t tap on the glass, cross barriers, or throw anything into the exhibits?  Afterall, when a kid comes to the zoo, usually (s)he did not come by him/herself.  Don’t kids usually come with a school [...]

The A-Ha! Moment…

I knew those two brothers were punks.  Now, investigators are stating that one of the brothers had an above the limit alcohol level and all three of the men involved in the tiger attack had marajuana in their system.  Does that excuse those men for their actions?  I don’t think so.
NOW, the  father of the victim [...]

A Foggy Day…

In Oakland town…  Check it out!
It was like this all morning long.  When I was on the train to go into San Francisco, I couldn’t see very far because of the fog.
Now, I won’t get started with MacWorld.  Okay, I will.  Please excuse the use of all caps in the following paragraph:
WHAT THE HECK DID [...]

So Much for That…

I promised myself that I would be really good and not spend as much money on frivilous things, such as unnecessary purchases from the store, things I don’t need, etc.
Well, I guess that was a lost battle even before I started.  I say this because I just purchased a few songs from iTunes.  I know [...]

Where is my Brain?

I swear, I really don’t know where my brain is lately.  I must be distracted or something because I’m never this forgetful. 
First of all, I forget my cell phone charger up in the motel in Sacramento yesterday after my test.
Second, I realized just this morning, approximately 12 hours after I had done so, that I [...]

I had the day off today.  It wasn’t a vacation, mind you.  Rather, it was a day for me to go up to Sacramento to take a test for work. 
Instead of going up early in the morning in potentially horrible rush hour traffic, I decided along with R, that it would probably be easier if [...]

Sniffletown

I think I got sick.  Yesterday, I was so out of it, coming home from the city that I just couldn’t concentrate.  Even if I wanted to sit still, my head just didn’t want to comply.  I ended up staying up a little later than I should have in order to prepare some food for [...]
