We owe oldest Americans an apology →
Well, don’t mistake me. I don’t mean this to sound like I dislike old people or something. I read this article and can’t help but feel like we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.
It seems like every time I read a new article or go to a news site… I should feel bad about a new thing and a new group of people who are offended. I should apologize...
I’m sick and tired of hearing “no time” as an excuse for why you can’t be great....

Apple Eliminates Plastic Bags. →
This is stupid. Why not switch to some awesomely, uniquely Apple paper bag? They’ll hold on to your shit or carry it to your car? That’s just stupid.

Cool Flash Tricks! →
Alright, so you’ve gotta print out this PDF, but for a nerd like myself trust me when I say this… it’s worth it!
This is a pretty cool example of what Flash is capable of.

Circuit City Closes Down After 60 Years. →
Does anyone really care? I always hated going to Circuit City. It always sucked ass. Even before the internet, Best Buy was always the better choice than Circuit City. Good riddance.
Nutbag's Publicist Quits! →
I have to be honest here: I haven’t been this entertained by a complete disaster since McCain/Palin.
I feel like this lady needs to be locked up for being completely irresponsible with human life. It seems like if I can be arrested for driving drunk (regardless if I get into a wreck or not), why doesn’t she have any consequences for her actions? 14 kids? You’re telling me she...

A really good article about grids. Enjoy!
Known Limitations For Google Sync With iPhone. →
So, this is kind of interesting. One of my biggest gripes is that I can only seem to get one calendar to sync when I’ve got multiple calendars. However, this says everything should be fun up until 5 calendars?
** Edit: Alright I got multiple calendars up on my phone, but it took some effort. I had to use the super secret page that is only accessible on the iPhone (you can’t go there...

Firefox 3 overtakes IE6! →
Fucking finally. The decline of IE6 soon enough.
Though… I’m still kind of shocked with IE6 being old as it is… that many people still use it. Either way, IE6 is finally on its way out!

US Air Force
I’m not going to go too deep into this right now because I’m about to head out of work. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking here lately, and I’m giving some serious consideration into joining the Air Force. Because of ROTC, I can enter at an advanced rank. I’m having a hard time seeing the downside anymore, too. According to the paychart, I’d be doing pretty well...

A blog dedicated to companies rebranding. :) It’s really cool!

Amazon Silences The Kindle After Pressure →
I played around with Will’s Kindle at work, and the text-to-speech feature is really cool! It’s actually really impressive, too. It still sounds kinda… 80’s mac clasic, but it’s very good at pronouncing names and things that have traditionally had TTS stumbling.
Normally, I’d have no interest in this story but having wanted a Kindle for about 4 days now…...
Octuplet Mom Admits More Children Were A Mistake. →
Yeah, we all knew that… but now those kids dumbass mom told the nation they were a mistake. Haha. This lady fills the hole Sarah Palin left.

Three-in-one Web Browser →
So, Chrome and Safari use WebKit, IE uses Trident, and FireFox uses Geko. This (Windows only) program lets users choose which rendering engine they would like to use. I’m still not clear why this hasn’t found its way to mac?
10 Ways To Make Chrome As Good As Firefox →
Personally, I use neither. I’m satisfied with Safari, but I’d really like to have Chrome on mac.
10 Open Source Photoshop Alternatives. →
I’ve only got mild experience with GIMP and Photoshop Express. Both were pretty cool, but I had a kind of MS Word vs Pages kinda feeling going on. It’s going to be hard to dethrone the king.
I support withdrawing troops, my friends. →
Oh, that John McCain. I guess it’s good he supports it, hopefully it will soften up his supporters to Barrack Obama.

20 Brilliant TV Show Title Sequences →
Some of these I expected to be on there, some of them I was kinda confused why they were on there, and the rest I’d never seen. I keep hearing all of this praise about the Sopranos intro - I’m really not that into it.
The Year In Hate →
This may be the most ridiculous ‘year review’ type article I’ve ever read.
50 Powerful CSS Techniques For Effective Coding →
This is a really cool article that goes into a ton of useful CSS techniques. They’ve also got an article written last year covering 53 more popular techniques (though I don’t know how up to date it will be - still worth checking out).
Apple Prepping OS X 10.5.7 →
Developers familiar with the new build report that Apple has made nearly 70 changes in the update, with many of them focused on syncing and networking improvements. A number of preferences and widgets have seen tweaks to address performance issues, and Apple has also addressed several issues related to RAW image handling. Also of note, Apple has addressed an issue with Safari not accepting certain...
Oh, Jerry... no! →
I thought this was going to be the other side of Seinfeld (married life vs. single life), but it’s all fucked up.

Amazing. This kid is the hottest shit of all time. Make sure you watch it all, he really starts breaking it down.

Smart people make my life better.
Just living the iPhone lifestyle.
So, I can’t get rid of these stupid ass icons. I think I’m going to give it a go… if the icons are forced there must be a reason. Unfortunately I started with the stock application. I have started to use that and notes a lot more. It’s the only the end of day one and I feel like these applications should be deletable if only because they were so terribly made. Surely they...
