Ever wonder what the deal is with these things are called or whats behind them. Had a friend of mine ping me asking how to get information on them. I know what they’re for - they allow computers to detect whether input is from a human or a computer - humans can read these but [...]

Is outta control… It went up like 5 points during the MacWorld announcements. I’d say it was iWeb or the MacBook Pro or the new Intel iMac… But I’m guessing it was really the financials. 14 Million iPods and $5.7 Billion in sales is just NUTS… Crazy cool. Its all the buzz in the halls [...]

Could not parse response [...]
i think I may have FINALLY worked out the server error 500s I was getting every flippin time I tried to post… If this post goes without a hitch then it means that I did. And it means that the server was running out of memory trying to access my entries stored in a berkeley [...]
This morning Kevin TiVo’d a review that Gene Shalit gave of Brokeback Mountain and, not to my suprise, it was … er… um… less than glowing… However what was surprising was the just nasty bigoted tone of the review.
