iTunes Tuesday: New This Month

iTunes Tuesday: New This Month June 30th, 2009 @ 6:23 am PDT

Sometimes you just want to be able to quickly get to the new stuff. That’s why I have a Smart Playlist called “New This Month”. This playlist contains all the tracks I’ve added in the last month, and I keep it synchronized with both my iPhone and with my iPod Nano. I always have all […]

(Almost) Daily David

(Almost) Daily David June 29th, 2009 @ 7:02 pm PDT

There is no such thing as “dolphin-safe tuna”. I can’t decide which is more fun: The Lyttle Lytton Contest or the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. Fans of conspiracy theories will absolutely love the MeFi thread on pharmaceutical companies, the WHO, UN officials, the Russians, Barack Obama, and the recently-deceased, single-white-gloved whistle-blower … Michael Jackson. Swedish civil […]

Weekend Links

Weekend Links June 27th, 2009 @ 2:44 pm PDT

General Stuff My dad continues to regularly post some of his amazing photographs from Portsmouth, Bristol, and Newport, Rhode Island. When browsing Craigslist you will often find items that are not (quite) as advertised. The International Space Station took some awesome pictures of an erupting Russian volcano.

Only Old Men Wear Colored Socks

Only Old Men Wear Colored Socks June 25th, 2009 @ 7:29 pm PDT

This was one of those truths that I held to be self-evident for the first 35 years of my life. Wearing colored socks was a clear sign that you had gotten “old”. Only old men wore anything other than white socks. Dick Van Dyke and my grandpa wore black socks. Guys in suits wore black […]

There Are Places I Remember

There Are Places I Remember June 25th, 2009 @ 7:27 am PDT

There are places I remember In my life … though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments … I miss my grandmother’s house sometimes. It’s interesting (to me, at least) because I’m not normally one to “miss” anything or anyone. People come, […]

WordPress Wednesday: Pithy Quotes Plugin June 24th, 2009 @ 6:15 am PDT

If you look at the top of this page you’ll see that there is a short quip displayed in my header. Every time you visit any page, it changes. I have about fifteen little quotes in my database and they’re set to display randomly with each refresh of the page. I wrote a plugin which […]

General Stuff I followed a link on Hidden Los Angeles and found a killer list of film locations in town. (I’m going to go out on a limb and assume LA has a lot more of these than most cities. Sometimes I forget that I am living in what has to be the coolest city […]

How to Delete a Recurring iCal Event

How to Delete a Recurring iCal Event June 22nd, 2009 @ 4:12 am PDT

I have finally resolved an issue with my Mac OS X 10.5.7 iCal calendar that has been annoying me since I converted from PC to Mac almost exactly one year ago. For some reason I could not delete my birthday! Because I’m now using Address Book birthdays — instead of having unique iCal “events” for […]
