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 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.

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 […]

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 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 […]
