Hi, Ho! the derry-o, Geren bought a Dell?
Last night (or was it early this morning), I ordered a new Dell Inspiron desktop computer. Yes, I really wanted an iMac. Yes, I said I’d never buy anything else from Dell. But, the reality is that I just can’t afford the Apple at this point (can’t truly [...]
In the past, I’ve mentioned that I like to use the Windows Live Writer tool to enter and edit postings for this site. Unfortunately, it’s not available for the Mac, so I’ve been looking for new blogging tools. Today, I’m trying one called Qumana, and one of the things that’s attractive about it is that [...]
I mentioned yesterday that I have a visiting iMac here fro evaluation, and so far I’m pretty impressed with the machine. Sure, it has a few quirks, but most are of little consequence.
The Mighty Mouse (shown at left), however, is more than a bit of an annoyance — an ergonomic nightmare, in my opinion. Sure, [...]
I’ve got a visiting computer — a brand-spanking-new Apple 20″ iMac. By and large, I really like it. A lot.
This particular iMac belongs to the church I work for. There are a few reasons I’m playing with it. First, it’s the computer that we’re going to be using to replace the aging PC in [...]
I’m playing with the trial version of Office2007. Yeah, I know. I’m Mr. OpenOffice.org, aren’t I.
Well, I heard tell that Micro$oft might have finally gotten Office right. If nothing else, they’ve certainly improved things. One nifty feature is that you can write blog entries from within M$Word. You can see a screen grab made while [...]
You may have noticed that I took out the sidebar item for the RSS feeds from our other web sites. Mostly, I did it because they were not properly updating on a regular basis. For instance, the section for Orchard Studios should, for the past three days, been indicating that the feed was missing.

Way #1 — Live in Maryland
Maryland has, for years, been known as “The Fee State.” Well, now it’s January 3, 2008, and Maryland’s new sales tax is in effect — 6% now, instead of 5%, as well as a doubled cigarette tax! At least the ciggie tax doesn’t affect me. And, fortunately, we bought the [...]
Whatever respect I had left for Merriam-Webster and their little book of words has evaporated with the announcement of this years word of the year:
w00t
What?!? It’s not even a word! It’s got two zeros in there. Words are made up of letters, not numerals. GMAFB!
At least the Oxford folks’ word of the year makes some [...]
And I’m not talkin’ closet space, here…
China’s space agency released a picture of the Moon today, taken from their Chang’e space probe.
China’s program has advanced at a very impressive pace, and some would say that they might be on track to put an astronaut on the Moon in the next few years. However, [...]
