If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know by now that I’m addicted to books. I kinda treat them like an addiction anyway. I’ve almost always got one handy, so often that at least one person who shares my commute to work has commented on my habit. In fact, I’m not comfortable […]
In light of the previous post, I can’t not post a link to this list of the “Top 10 Advantages of ADD in a High Tech Career” from the Adult ADD Strengths blog (which I’m adding to my feeds and my blogroll). It’s kind of humorous, but I think there’s more than a few grains […]
I’m still fiddling around with The Movies, and finding it exactly the kind of computer game that appeals to me. I’ve never been much for first-person shooters, and I’ve never been very good at them. I’d much rather see what I can create with a simulation game or one that lets me tell stories (like […]
I’m not sure if this would fall under the “Bobo’s World” tag, but this story of a community ministries director going apeshit in Maryland Best Buy struck me as interesting.
The managing director of Community Ministries of Rockville was ordered to take anger management classes, perform 60 hours of community service, stay away from Best Buy […]

The “work vs. blogging” thread is becoming the “meme that would not die.” I’ve covered it several times in the past, though not for a while. This time, however, the story seems to have changed a bit. It’s not the usual tale of someone being fired for blogging, or not getting a job because of […]
That ill-concieved pun in the post is a way of announcing that the folks over at DemsTV — where I’ve made a couple of appearances — are already taking advantage of the new generation of video iPods by releasing video podcasts.
Dan Manatt, one of the site’s co-founders, said earlier today that the […]
The video iPod is here.
And the new iTunes includes music videos and TV shows. I think my assimilation is now complete, because I totally want one of these, even though I totally don’t need one. I think I’m now officially a MacHead.
Really, though, I think this is going to be huge. It’s may even be […]
It’s here!
I don’t know if I mentioned earlier that we were getting Tivo — something I’d been thinking about doing for a year or so — but the “box” arrived today. Being the more technologically inclined member of the family (though Parker may will probably surpass me in that department), the job of setting it […]
I almost considered going to one of these "iBook for $50" sales that was going on in my area last week. But I figured I already have the one I use for work and didn’t need another one. (Though it might be nice to have a spare.) Now I’m kinda glad I didn’t, because apparently […]
In the future, to paraphrase Andy Warhol, everyone will have a blog for 15 minutes. That seems to be the initial takeaway from the latest of Technorati’s "State of the Blogosphere" updates. In part one of what will be a series of reports, Dave Sifry reveals what Elinor Mills refers to as "the Moore’s Law […]
Between work and the time I spend online at home, once the kid and the hubby are down for the night, I spend a lot of time in front of a keyboard. Occaisonally, I come down with a case of what I call "blogger’s wrist," in one hand or the other; sometimes in both, though […]
The recent ruckus over the "Hot Coffee" hack for the popular computer game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Fault, which allows users to play a mini-game involving illicit animated sex scenes, brought to mind an awkward moment I experienced while shopping for computer games a while back. It was a few years ago. I was […]
Didja hear about the guy in Florida who got arrested for using someone else’s wireless network?
Police have arrested a man for using someone else’s wireless Internet network in one of the first criminal cases involving this fairly common practice.
Benjamin Smith III, 41, faces a pretrial hearing this month following his April arrest on charges […]
I continue to come across useful WordPress plugins, and I thought I’d share a couple more that I found. (BTW, a great way to find new plugins is to add the del.icio.us RSS feed for the wordpress tag to your newsreader.)
Referrer Bouncer - Thanks to the anti-spam function in the post-1.5 versions of WordPress, this […]
