Delete key
30 August 2004 - 06:34 pmMy iBook returns, and there is much rejoicing. And some questioning as to why the delete key was detached from the keyboard.

Canadians
30 August 2004 - 09:40 amI got this Canadian quarter as change the other day. Noting the remarkable similarities in size, shape, and appearance, I theorized that this phenomenon was far from coincedence or convergence. I suspect that it is an insidious plot to destabilize the American economy with a cheap, undervalued currency.

23 August 2004 - 03:32 pmA bit of perspective from ESPN regarding gymnastics (which I do not watch) in the olympics (which I do watch):
Hamm is a male gymnast, and as much as people are talking about him now, his name will be so forgotten by the first weekend of the NFL season that not even Ken Jennings will be able to identify him.
Alex Trebec: This male gymnast won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics due to an incorrect scoring decision.
Jennings: Sorry, Alex, I have absolutely no idea.
My iBook is

meeting tommorow at 16-00
20 August 2004 - 02:11 pmThe latest ploy to get me to read spam is to suggest that I have some kind of imminent meeting, hence the subject line:
meeting tommorow at 16-00
Let me point out a couple of things to would-be spammers. First, I don’t, generally speaking, make too many meeting with illiterate people. Second, Americans, unless they are in the military, don’t use ‘military’ time. Nor do they use a dash to separate hours and minutes.
I don’t even know what these are peddling. I only see the subject lines. Apple Mail does a good job of shuttling them into my junk folder.
