The times they are a-changin'

''When you want to turn your mind on, you go to your computer. When you want to turn your mind off, you go to your television.'' - Steve Jobs, 1984

“Now users can enjoy YouTube wherever they are — on their iPhone, on their Mac or on a widescreen TV in their living room with Apple TV” - Steve Jobs, 2007

A skateboarding dog doesn't turn my mind on.

I saw an ad on Slate this morning for Cisco. The text of the ad reads "The human network fixed the Fray".

How many times do I have to validate this thing?


Let me get this straight:
  • Microsoft sells me a product riddled with security holes.
  • Microsoft has to release patches to fill the holes.
  • Every time I want to actually apply one of these patches, Microsoft makes me install and run some type of validation tool. Every time.
Exactly whose 'advantage' is it?

Ray Crock

Is there anything left in the universe that doesn't have Rachael Ray's friggin' face on it?

Mmm boy... that's some fancy parkin', Elvis!

Mystery Food: Episode One


I found this in my Three Delights dinner last night. Not sure which 'delight' it is, but it sure bears resemblance to a particular part of the delight.

Paris derrière des barres


I saw this ad, and it made me wonder: Didn't Paris only spend 3 nights in jail before she got out?

Then I saw "Virgin Vacations" and realized it can't be THAT Paris they're talking about.

Today's forecast: eeeeevil

Will Satan's weather stay with us for the weekend? Full forecast at eleven.

Speaking of: those weather teasers during commercial breaks drive me nuts. "Will we seen the sun this weekend? Stay tuned after ER for the weekend forecast." In that time, the weather weenie could have TOLD ME what the damn forecast was.
