So, I’m trying to transition over to itunes (version 9) after being a hardcore winamp user since the late 90s. Winamp’s keyboard shortcuts are the cat’s pajamas though, and I’m missing them tremendously. Specifically, the shortcut to jump to a song. Hit "J" and just start typing in a title or band and it dynamically [...]

Pardon the political post. United States of America. My arse. I am terrified about the Health Care Reform billed being passed this past Sunday. I’m not terrified about the unknown long-term impacts or affects, or even the reconciliation package that is outstanding. What I’m most scared about is that NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for it. There [...]

Avis customer support has exhausted my patience, so I’m considering this the final chapter. If Avis is your cheapest rate when you go to rent a car, take a second to think about the risk you might run of having to deal with customer service. I am not going to be a loyal Avis customer [...]

how long has voicemail been around? You think we know how to leave messages by now? I’m on and off conference calls all day, and I waste a lot of time listening and waiting for prompts. I wish there were options to adjust to avoid the messages. There is this one that reads out the whole [...]

My family is the most important thing in my life. Period, end of sentence. This weekend, I missed a weekend with all of them because I had a project at work fail last weekend, and we needed to finish it this weekend. It was suposed to be a minor inconvenience. We’d start at 9am, be done [...]

Something is off in the world these days. Stereo-types are being altered. I’m going to ask you to define the profile or person that first comes to mind when I say the word…GRAFFITI. Young, black, male, doesn’t care about himself or others. Somewhat accurate right? and if I do the same for Knitting…grandma. Kind of [...]

Broken seems to be the theme of the week. Monday – surfing around on my PC and then it just shutsdown. POOF. I have yet to get it back on. I checked the power supply, memory, motherboard, nothing. Tim let me borrow a PC to frankenstein to figure it out. That sucks though. Tuesday – Went [...]

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse. Those are the 3 Rs that I learned when i was a kid, and I’ve been able to do the first and third pretty easily. There’s always been a lack of a recycling program everywhere else though. Since I’ve moved to the city, I’ve lived in 3 places. Lothrop Hall on Pitt [...]

I’m a moody person. I think I’ve always realized this, but only recently I’m learning how much my moods, and changing of moods shape my life. I don’t know if it’s something I should work to overcome, or something I should learn to accept as part of me…Where is the line that defines the difference between [...]

Last political blog post, promise. It’s only a few days away, have you prepared yourself? Have you listened to both parties? I am sure there are those that will disagree with me, but I put a lot of weight into how each candidate is campaigning. The debates are huge. Sure, they’ve become skilled question dodgers [...]
