We were wondering if you could possibly use snowflakes that look a little more masculine.

Clients From Hell : Snowflakes

I’ve been reading Clients from Hell for a few days now. I really want these clients. Just to be able to fire them.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors’ Cathedral
The church bell chimed, ’til it rang 29 times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald | Upper Peninsula Blog

I don’t know why, but the story of that fateful November night touches me deeply.

Word on the other hand… Well, sometimes it just fucks up the document because of a stray keystroke, but there is no easy, logical way to debug it because you can’t see the markup. You have to guess, try different things, hit the undo button a lot and if everything else fails, revert to a previous save. Ugh…

Lake Tahoe

So true.

I miss Lake Tahoe. I only spent a week there 20 years ago but I definitely need to go back.

When consumers are granted the ability to watch television whenever and however they want, they watch more TV — not less. That’s a simple result which could only be “counterintuitive” to an industry that all too frequently treats its own best customers like criminals.

This is a joy Windows users will likely never know.  Imagine an XP user seeing a dialogue that says “Would you like to upgrade to Windows 7 for free?   Just click here.”  Upon clicking, XP replaces itself with the latest version of Windows.  Then another dialogue pops which says “Now, would  you like to upgrade Office for free as well?”  There are days when I really, really wonder why people keep using Windows.  As opposed to those other days when I only really wonder why people keep using Windows.
