Annabel: George! What does CBB stand for?
George: Not now, I'm busy!
Dad: George, tell her!

Some games, like first person shooters, are better with a keyboard and mouse.
Others, like football, tennis and bowling, work best IN THE REAL WORLD.
It seems that I can’t simply stop using technology and go to sleep these days; rather, I have to make a slow transition.
First, I turn off the Mac Pro, get into bed and start using my MacBook Pro. Eventually, I turn it off as well and migrate to my iPod touch. Once I’ve finished checking up on Twitter (or writing a blog post, as I am doing right now), I can set my iPod aside and fall...

20 Things That Happen In One Minute →

Why I Ditched Safari
Safari asks whether you want to save your username & password before you find out if they were correct
Safari requires you to dig through your history to find tabs and windows you accidentally closed

I can brag...

I will be heading off tomorrow for a week long holiday at the Gold Coast. If all goes well, I’ll post on my blog through RSS through Twitter through SMS (yes, something is bound to go wrong!) and keep you updated on my misadventures.

“Apple is also working with the major music studios to develop a new album format, delivered over iTunes, that will include liner notes, artwork and potentially mobile ringtones and music videos in a unified software package that the labels hope will boost sales of albums, instead of just single tracks.” - SMH, 27/10/09
That’s an excellent prediction, Mr. Moses, but iTunes LP...
I’m sorry I don’t blog enough, I’ll try to post more in the future!
It’s fun to watch avid bloggers twitch and squirm at these overused words.

Finally, an easy and free way to design stripboard prototypes on the computer. It’s a Windows app, but I’m using it with no problems in CrossOver for Mac, and it should work with Wine on Linux as well.
Optus bitches next door are installing cable. They cut the street’s power accidentally for about 10 seconds while up a telegraph pole. Now my computer won’t start up. Just when I was saying something good about their Internet service to Lachlan. How ironic.

Sony creates a range of notebook computers that run the same operating system as the others do, uses the same parts as the others do, and nobody cares about its enormous price tag.
Apple creates a line of genuinely unique computers running a unique operating system with unique parts (does the Adamo come in a precision unibody enclosure?), and people complain that there’s an Apple tax.
