Jay Pfaffman » How do you know?
Posted 2 minutes ago
I am regularly asked questions to which I do not know the answer. As a rule, I answer them. Correctly. I haven't taken a class on anything about computers in over twenty years. I have never received any training on MacOS, Windows, or Linux. I quit using Windows on a regular basis at least 10 years ago. I have never ... [Link]

Such things make no sense, but the go on. Last week the High Court of Justice issued a temporary restraining order halting construction work by a Jewish organization in a Franciscan monastery on Jerusalem’s Mount Zion adjacent to the Cenaculum, the Latin term for the room where the Last Supper was held.

We at the Network are desk jockeys. We spend the majority of our time behind a computer writing letters, researching policy, talking to members and people in the community facing threats to their clean water resources. Rarely do we get outside. Yesterday was an exception. Craig Walker, an ecologist, invited the staff of [...] [Link]

Deliverance » STUPID BUSINESS TRICKS
Posted 73 minutes ago
As a consumer and customer I continue to be amazed by the stupid things businesses say and do in the name of saving money and/or increasing sales. Even worse we as consumers do economically stupid things without thinking. Some examples (and expect me to return with more): --Airlines. Need I say much more? Is there anything they haven't started charging ... [Link]

Mac Fanatic » Stunning Lego Photographs
Posted 81 minutes ago
Flickr user Balakov likes to take photos using Lego figures.  And not just any photos, Balakov actually recreates famous paintings, photographs, and scenes in painstakingly detail.  The attention to detail in his work is truly amazing and the result is wonderful.  I especially love the recreations of Star Wars scenes and the way Balakov has even went past the series and created scenes ...

I still can’t believe I got a new car this week. A year from now I’ll probably look back at the Subaru as a distant memory, as in “oh yeah, I used to have one of those.” Wow. The new car makes my long commute 10x better. I still can’t believe I got a new car [Link]

A few days ago, I remarked to my mother “gee, isn’t it nice how C has been sleeping so much better lately?” A while back we went to extreme measures to make a bedroom out of a closet here at the office.
