more stupid itunes
Ah, another week, another dot release for itunes. Each week as I go through the update process I wonder the same things: Why do I have to download 40mb of executable every time I go through this stupid process? Why can’t Apple have inline product updates like so many other pieces of software? If opensource [...]

viksoe.dk – GMail Drive shell extension This is way too cool. A tiny shell extension for Windows XP that lets you use your gmail account as a disk drive. It shows up on the “Send to” menu when you right click a file. It also shows up as a drive from “My Computer”. It looks [...]

Old Standby
One of my favorite excuses from the kids, and one I’ve admitted using in jest as an adult, is of the form: “Are you splashing around in there?”“No! The water is splashing.”

So I Married an Axe Murderer
I don’t know what’s stranger; that our TiVo records every showing of “So I Married an Axe Murderer” that comes on, or that it’s on like a dozen times a week.

Windows Utility
Can anyone recommend a good multiple clipboard utility? Something that records everything I sent to the clipboard and lets me access them in the future.
