Why I Really SHOULD Be A Writer…
And Why I Should NEVER Be A Doctor… My current day job has me listening to lectures for medical students. I keep making bad (mental) puns based on random medical concepts – which are important to us all, but sound really funny when taken out of context or you have no idea what’s really being […]
Calling Comic Book Guys, iTunes, and Other Work
Calling all Comic Book Guys out there… and Independent Publishers. I’m in need of recommendations for a printer which will do digest sized (8 X 5.5) perfect bound chapbooks in small print runs for reasonable amounts of money. My project is about 60 pages with a full color cover. Want to keep “retail” price under […]
2009 Year in Review? Sort of.
It’s New Year’s Eve and everyone seems to be taking stock of their lives today – and the decade. Wow. Another DECADE is gone. Who would’ve thought it would go by so fast? But overall I have to say, it’s been a really good decade. A majorly life-changing decade, but a good one. I mean, […]
Snow and Productivity
My theoretical last week of work has started inauspiciously. Monday I had a stomach bug. Today, we were cut loose early because of impending snow (which is actually is at our house now). Yesterday, I managed to do some business. Today, I’ve posted this week’s StrangeWords.Net article. So I am using my time for Good […]
Under “Things I May Later Regret”
On a silly whim, I’ve decided to download and try out the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta (it’s free). As much as I’m not a fan of Office 2007 (and the first thing I did was change the “save” button back to .DOC format not .DOCX – never DID understand that). But I think it’s just […]
Merry and Bright?
It was a busy and fun Christmas. Great hauls all around. Saw Avatar in 3-D yesterday – and WOW. And it didn’t really mess with my head all that much. Low level headache afterward, but there are a number of reasons for THAT. FINALLY – iTunes is working again (at least once). And all I […]
SPOKE WAY TOO SOON
Apparently I spoke way too soon last night after getting iTunes to FINALLY work again ONCE. This morning? Not so much – back to loading and freezing/not responding in 1 second flat. The only “solution” iTunes seems to have is to create a new Windows User Account to see if THAT fixes the problem. Don’t […]
Apologies to Microsoft and Apple
For being cranky at Microsoft and Apple for my current iTunes woes… I apologize. I was wrong. The particular issue I had where iTunes froze upon opening wasn’t your fault. It was NOKIA‘s fault. I recently went back to the Nokia N75 that I won in a raffle when my Motorola RAZR stopped charging. Decided […]
Merry Christmas and Waiting Game
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL – AND TO ALL A GOOD DAY… Here’s hoping you and yours have a wonderful and safe Christmas. As for waiting… there’s been no movement on Facebook’s end to let me know if/when I get my old Facebook account back EVER or if I have to create a new one and […]
Windows & ITunes
Just to hit a slightly wider audience than Twitter (still trying to get Facebook back…)… My iTunes and Windows 7 Home edition have decided they don’t like each other. ITunes will load but won’t run. It freezes up on launch. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled twice. The iPod Touch charges, but doesn’t sync because iTunes is […]
