Of all the people… I just… brain… shutting down. Why on EARTH would Oprah’s puppet Dr. Phil McGraw visit mentally and musically ill Britney Spears after her traumatic breakdown the other day? Apparently the good doctor dropped in as she had already been discharged after a clean toxicology screen and was packing to go home.…

I Want You to Take His Face… Off
No, no, I’m not strung out on drugs and wearing Nicolas Cage’s face. I certainly have not gone undercover as the malevolent Caster Troy. And under no circumstances will I be singing Elvis tunes while John Travolta shoots me with a spear gun. But I have most certainly not been feeling like myself lately. I…

Use Leopard’s Time Machine Over the Network
Via Lifehacker: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard came with a new, easy-to-use back-up program called Time Machine. For people with an extra external hard drive, this was a godsend. If you also happened to have an AFP share over the network, you could backup to one of those as well. But if you’re like many…
Recover Lost Office Passwords
Personally, I don’t password-protect any of my office files. But it’s come to my attention that some of you do. And as with any password-protected file, there will always be some instance where you’ll forget what that password is, and will need to retrieve it. I know, I know, you’re thinking Dave, if the password…
