Sadly, I can guess their names are Bill, Pam, Sam & Jack. What has the Internet done to me?

Count me in! Oh, and FWIW, I have a 14 layer minimum for all of my PS projects.

I don't understand what a Windows Data file has to do with an MP3. Sounds like you have some applications that need to be quit in order for whatever process you are attempting to be successful.

Possibly the most amazing art installation I have ever seen. Impressive.

Re: Marimba Ringtone

For some reason I never saw this comment. You bring up an interesting point, and one that seems to confuse a lot of people. All of the ringtones on the iphone are indeed stereo. Even though the iphone only has one speaker on the bottom, it is capable of pushing ringtones out through headphones and also through the dock connector.
The reason I modified this one was because on the phone I had at the time did have two speakers on it and I could only hear the tone coming out of one of them. Also, the speakers on that phone weren't as good as the ones on the iPhone so I needed to bump up the volume a touch.
This was just my contribution to the community of folks that were making their Windows Mobile devices act like iPhones.

Oh how I despise digg titles. I mean sensationalized titles. I mean, 7 worst titles you could possibly use to get on digg.

I am assuming you are talking about the plugin for wordpress. If so, yes I have upgraded to the latest version, I like what it adds to the backend of the site in terms of functionality. If you are talking about something else, you must let me know.

I think we can come up with about 15 computers, put them in a circuit, and see if it works. Right?

I expected this to happen and I really don't consider it price gouging. In fact, I think the fact you went to places without gas let's you know that anything in that price range was not price gouging.
For this particular moment in time based on the price of oil and the capacity to refine gasoline, I would figure prices above $5.25 or $5.50 to be bordering the price gouging line.
In Alabama we have an anti-price gouging law. This essentially scares businesses into not charging what they could. Of course, Alabama and Georgia (The other state with this law) also had the highest number of stations without gas.

Re: Obama’s “Lipstick on a Pig”: Insult or Idiom?

John — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:16:35 -0000

I saw his comment not as an attack on Palin, but more as an attack of McCain policy. I just figured he was comparing McCain to Bush which of course the McCain campaign hates.
McCain's campaign did incredible damage control by asserting this was a slight on Governor Palin. Of course, the second they did that is the same moment when EVERYONE started talking about lipstick on pigs. Both politicians have used the idiom several times in their respective campaigns, just the McCain camp was able to thow it back on the Obama camp.

Right, well, the comfortable lane at least.

Re: The best computer bag I’ve owned: STM Journey

John — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:19:33 -0000

STM is a great bag company indeed. I have been using their backpack for my MacBook Pro for the last 2.5 years. Not a stitch is missing, there is only minimal wear on the strings connected to the zippers.

I USE THIS BAG EVERYDAY

STM is just an awesome company and they know how to make a great bag for a fantastic price. I remember spending less than $70 for that backpack whereas similar bags were at least $100 and some at $150.

I will probably never buy a bag from a different company, they get people who use computers on a daily basis whether or not it is for work.

Wow, I just realized how much I sound like an STM advertisement. Just a guy who likes their bags.

Apparently Terry and I had the same idea around the same time, this is also the problem, any other place to get this file from?

I personally love how the flickr page has about 8,000 notes on the image. I couldn't resist and added my own, but most of the notes are hilarious. You should try finding the one that says LochNest monster.

Re: Apps

John — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:03:24 -0000

This is still the tip of the iceberg, I am waiting for apps to come out that haven't officially been acknowledged. I would love for a rememberthemilk app to come out. Jott has an app out, but I haven't received my phone yet, so I haven't tried any of these. Evernote has an interesting looking app. But looks like I will have to check out Exposure and Check Please.

yeah, I was a little upset to learn she didn't any cool amazing super ability. I don't want to be struck by lightening now.

Re: Woman Struck by Lightening while filming

John — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:32:44 -0000

Good point, I didn't even think about it. I guess I was still too shocked with the whole lightening strike part.

Holy crap! This is unreal. Glad she is okay, but that was actually quite scary.

This is unfortunate, I have been watching these on a netflix basis. So I just finished season three, and was excited to watch season four only to see how the writers wrote their way out of this cliffhanger. In the past, they have had a knack of getting out of the most hair situations in a humorous way. Sounds like they lost that talent. I will probably still get this season when it hits netflix, but I might be more cautious.

Awesomness, plain and simple.

Just as a note, this isn't my website. I just realized this might be confusing, but at the same time, that is why I put the quote from the site in quotation marks.

Some of the stuff adobe does is just the most foul attempt at retaining customers. That is the reason I don't like them. In fact, their copy protection is so strict, I have run into times where it was easier to download and use a cracked version of their software than it was the legally owned copy.

I want one, but I heard they get really bad fuel usage. Hopefully they will be releasing a hydrogen version soon.
