These words, I write them for you.

Today, just like yesterday...

is the day before tomorrow.

I sit here, thinking, my mind going over facts and figures, thoughts and feelings, and everything in between. Exactly what I'm thinking is not important, the fact that I am thinking is.

Of course none of this has anything to do with the reasons you came here, so I will get on with the bloggery you've come to love.


Of things I've certainly thought about doing...

Here we have a man that's upset about not getting his laptop repaired under warranty.

His claim is that the his laptop, a MacBook he loved, just didn't turn on what one day. That's not outside of the realm of possibilities, no matter what you say, even Apple's are fallible. He loved his laptop so much that he purchased Apple Care Extended Warranty coverage. He tried everything, but to no avail and was then forced send the laptop in for repair.

He received a call stating that they were not going to repair it because there was spill damage. He claims that there was not any such damage, but, even after speaking to a supervisor, he was still told he would have to pay over $700 to get it repaired.

His response? Smash it with a sledgehammer on video.

That will show Apple what's up.


Finally, it has a name.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect.


Dear Abbey she's not...

However, I can't imagine how anyone could answer this letter any better.


Google Docs and Spreadsheets Tips

I've mentioned before, I'm sure, that I'm a big fan of Google Docs, ever since it was Writely. If you're interested in just how robust it can be, even if it isn't quite a full fledged office suite, like OpenOffice.org or even Office (yes, I use Office 2007).

Webware.com has a nice list of some features you might not have known you had. As a matter of fact, a lot of people who have GMail don't even realize they already have Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and that they can use it to write and edit whatever they want as long as they have a web connection, and, where don't you have an internet connect these days. (Oh, and check out Webware, because it's all about Web Based Applications, and has some pretty useful and interesting stuff).


I'm Like a Seer.

I said, from the beginning, that the new Microsoft Surface would make great fodder for comic ads, and it seems I was right, as usual.




I swear there used to be a lake here...

There's something hilarious about reading this article. It seems that there used to be a lake, but not it's just an empty pit with a few ice cubes in it.
