Answering @moonfrye – One Living, One Dead
Soleil Moon Frye wants to know: If you could have dinner with one living person and one who has passed on. Who would they be? I have two answers for this. Gandhi and my wife. Gandhi because I have so many questions for him: how do you apply satyagraha in 2009? What should happen in … Continue reading

Security app for Blackberry users: https://www.smrtguard.com/index.jsp – I’m using it, highly recommended, many useful features. # Had to close comments on http://pect.us/hollister because NOBODY can top Maribel’s “fuck u. go die.” diatribe. # Rocking a Yana Batyrchina type hairstyle today. # See here. I feel like e-mailing this lady and telling her how badly she … Continue reading
10 Years
It just occurred to me that I’ve passed the 10-year mark for chronic urticaria. It started in mid-February 1999. As far as I know I still have it, though I’ve cut back on my allergy meds significantly for financial reasons and it hasn’t come back. I have a few hives here and there occasionally but … Continue reading
Macbook Pro, Please
What gadget is at the top of your wish list?Don't have an iPhone yet? Or maybe you're ready for that flat-panel TV? What piece of circuitry and plastic will make your life better and why? I'd like to answer this with "a teleporter" but I'm going to assume that the question was written to focus … Continue reading

Quicklinks for 2009-03-25
This post was auto-generated by del.icio.us, which I’m using again. I don’t think I like the way it came out, and I definitely don’t like that it posts every day because I probably won’t have more than one link for many days. I’m going to see if I can find a weekly batching plugin. Anyway, … Continue reading
Morning Choice
I missed my geography class this morning. The reason is that I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and while I was driving to school, I was literally falling asleep on the road. I knew it wasn’t safe, but I pressed on for a few more miles because I felt I must go to class! … Continue reading
Where can I park my Prius?
Hybrid Prius or Escalade with gold rims? Sensible or extravagant? Sensible, of course. For one thing, as expensive as the Prius is, it's not as much as an Escalade would be. It's better for the environment, and although there is definitely an element of status symbol to a Prius, it's not as grotesque as the … Continue reading
Postal Spam
Well this is amusing…I got chain mail spam in the mail, don’t know how they got my information. The person’s name was Nellie Trice at 12638 Hackberry Lane, Moreno Valley CA 92553. So I googled for Nellie Trice; no results. I googled for the address and turned up a map of registered sex offenders in … Continue reading
Testing CellSpin
I’m testing posting via CellSpin. So far it doesn’t have any of the Blackberry’s autotext features, you can’t even double-space to put in a period. It’s the first blog client I’ve seen for the Blackberry, so I’m very interested, but so far it’s cumbersome and also SLOW – it can’t keep up with my typing … Continue reading
