I don’t know if you’ve tried Dragon Naturally Speaking before – it’s come a long way since it’s inception. It used to be that you’d have to train it and retrain it and then you’d finally get a semi-working program. But by the time you got it working right, you could have just typed it…
Grandma’s Getting Married!
A lot of posts today, I know, but lots of important news and things to share, thoughts on my mind. An important couple of things: Mom went on a date last Friday night. I was slightly weirded out, but I’m okay. Apparently he was a gentleman and treated her well. My grandma (my deceased father’s…

Macs to Get Netflix Watch Instantly Access via Silverlight
As a Netflix customer, I often enjoyed being able to sign on to Netflix on my lunch break and watch TV shows from their “Watch Instantly” service. Unfortunately, I had to load it up on my virtual machine that runs XP because due to DRM restrictions, Netflix was unable to offer Mac users the service…

My New Car Needs a Name
Thursday night after work I rolled out to a car dealership because some ad I got with a scratch-off number said I’d won something. They wouldn’t tell me what it was over the phone. I went out, and they made me sit through a spiel about my current car and what kind of other cars…
I’m Freakin’ Nostradamas Over Here

Can You Call Obama a Socialist? Socialists say “No.”
Digg had a good article today (surprisingly not at all technology related) from the Chicago Tribune where they actually talked to legitimate Socialists in the USA about McCain’s calling Obama a “Socialist” after his comment about “spreading the wealth around” being good for everybody. I’ve had several friends post really hateful comments on my Facebook…
Dead On The Inside
I tell ya, life: it’s crazy! But you know that already, because you’re alive, too. Or are you? ARE YOU? Oh God. I killed another one. Words are powerful, never forget that kids. Did you see me just kill a guy with my blog post? Yeah. Never take life for granted. As alive as I…
