what others do with talent, I do with obstinate fixation
I’ll have to agree with the top two, for sure.
Where’s Microsoft’s Clippy and the stupid-butt “Rover” Windows Search Companion that *still* persist to this day?
I really want to put all of the retail versions of Symantec Antivirus on the list. It was never the same after Peter Norton sold out to Symantec in 1990.
Oh and what about those Microsoft keyboards that have the Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys reconfigured. Oooh, I hate that.

Riiight.
What about the best interests of: Jeffrey, 18, Marcus, 16, and Jasmine, 14?

Whoop-de-doo.
The Sonics were without their top two scorers. Tell you what…I’d hate to be Earl Boykins (who’s having a career year so far) when Carmelo Anthony gets back from his suspension. There’s not going to be enough looks to go around with those two me-first ball-hogs on the court at the same time. The AI experiment really starts when Melo gets back.

One question I do have is this: Is there such a thing as a peaceful Muslim as opposed to a “radical” one? Where are they?
Do you agree or disagree with his premise? Why?

This is for you, my more left leaning readers. Happy New Year!
Wow. The Bucks vs T’Wolves game last night at the Target Center was awesome. Our seats were pretty good. The game was great — down to the wire at the end.
One cool thing I realized…there are other Bucks fans in the world. I saw at least 4 of them at the game. It was weird being in the minority and having the visiting team win. Sweet. Bango took his rightful place in the back window of the car on the way home.
We took over 100 pictures at the game. I’ll post some of them somewhere.
No tags for this post.I agree with George Karl. Here’s more. Isiah Thomas is a worm and is never going to succeed as a coach or a GM.
No tags for this post.Interesting tidbit in this article by Mitch Lawrence:
The league will factor in Thomas’ warning to Anthony in the final minutes before the brawl. Already on the hot seat because of his record as the team’s GM, Thomas himself faces a suspension and/or fine if he in fact ordered Collins to take down Smith. But that merely would overshadow his team’s horrific home record.No tags for this post.
This is a pretty cool site. I still have some of them from back in the early 80’s. This is one was the one I saved up over $50 for and ordered directly from Lego in 1985. Still have the original receipt.
If you haven’t seen the brawl between the Nuggets and Knicks, here’s the link.
First off, I’ll hold off about Isiah Thomas. You know what I think about him and his skills as a GM and coach.
This kind of crap by NBA players will be the end of the NBA. Kick all the thugs out. I want to see some skill — some good jump shots, some more stars with 90%+ free throw percentage, some sweet moves night and night out. Mugging guys going to the basket is not skill. I hope they suspend Carmelo “sucker punch” Anthony for the rest of the year — ala Ron Artest. Kick out Mardy Collins, too. Who’s he again?

Anyone interested in a ball-hogging, egocentric, gangster, locker room cancer, all-star? Seriously…Can you see Iverson ever coming off the bench?

Iran is your home and is the home of all freedom seekers of the world. Here you can express your views and exchange opinions in a friendly, brotherly and free atmosphere.
Riiiight. Again, unless you are Jewish, Christian or non-Muslim.

My wife likes to read the weather blogs of a couple of the local TV stations (she’s a closet storm chaser). I mentioned back in October that she posted on the KSHB weather blog. Well, KSHB threw out the idea of hosting all of the regular weather bloggers for a tour at the station. Rachel e-mailed in and said she’d be interested in attending.
She got an invitation from Mr. Lezak himself last night.
She gets to bring a guest. She picked me.
Amazing, I know.
I’ll try to get a picture of me and the $250k weather computer.
Help me out. What should I wear?

OK. I just can’t stand it anymore. The don’t like new soap dispensers they put in the bathrooms where I work. They’re the new foam type. The soap smells like rotten fruit/dead flowers/something. Eck.
Apparently Al Gore isn’t the largest cause of global warming.
Okay, there is this piece of butter, okay. And he thinks, “I’m not doing very well in life so I really want to start making ends meet and progressing.”
So he jumps onto half a slice of bread and he thinks, “Oh yeah, this is quite good, this half a slice of bread. But I still think I could do better in life.”
So he jumps onto a full slice of bread. “This is amazing,” he thinks. “I’m really living the high life.” But he thinks, “I could still go further.”
So he jumps onto a slice of toast and, “This is a very, very comfortable slice of toast.” It’s just like absolute luxury. But he thinks, “I could still go further in life,” so he jumps onto the next thing.
And by now he’s thinking, “Okay, I’ve lived a very good life, I think it’s about time I wrapped everything up,” and he starts to walk away, but his friend calls out, “Oh no, don’t stop now. Youre on a roll.”
Classic.

In my I’m addicted to Google Reader and miffed about Yahoo Bookmarks Beta post I expressed my frustration with there not being a My Yahoo module for the new Yahoo Bookmarks beta. One day I signed in and it just didn’t work anymore. Tom posted this comment on that particular post:
Sorry about the MyYahoo bookmarks module problems; we have a couple moving parts and they’ll be sorted in the near future. If you don’t want to wait, we have a potential workaround if you contact me.
Anyway, I did and we exchanged several e-mails. He provided a custom RSS feed for me to add my beta bookmarks back to My Yahoo. Pretty sweet.

It’s pretty cool that this guy draws these things by hand — even the instructions on how to build them.
The James Kim Tragedy
No tags for this post.This is a really sad story — the wilderness death of James Kim, a CNET Editor. Here’s a satellite map of his path. Maybe this is just the Eagle Scout in me, but he should have never left his car. Body heat, melted snow for drinking — maybe they all could have survived. Really sad.
