• Cancelled

  
  Reverend Ref + — Authority: 121
  For only the second time in my tenure here I had to cancel services in VC. The first was due to a freak storm that blew through, making traveling the roads a little . . . dicey. We had another storm blow through the past few days, but the roads are in great shape. However, both of our furnaces went out over the ...

  K-Squared Ramblings — Authority: 135
  A few minutes ago I was trying to fix sound on my Linux box. Nothing would play, until Katie heard it beep to notify me of a new Twitter message. I closed Twhirl and suddenly my music player worked. The song lined up? Vertical Horizon’s “All is Said and Done.” The first line of the song? “I need you to hear ...

  WmWms — Authority: 424
  If we can’t speak clearly in moral terms about this kind of absolute evil, then we are in trouble. – Charles Krauthammer OK, so mild-mannered Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan is accused of killing 13 and wounding 29 at Fort Hood last week.  He’s awake and coherent, though may be paralyzed.

  afterglide — Authority: 111
  I had started the process with TCF Bank to refinance my mortgage and take out some equity to pay for the remodeling I did over the last year. I had stopped by in person at a local branch, spoke to the lending manager there, and he sold me on what ended up being kind of a whack-ass, risky mortgage product. I was a bit ...

• iTunes Preview Makes Direct Music Links Slightly Less Annoying [ITunes Store]

  
  Lifehacker — Authority: 818
  Click a direct iTunes link in a browser, and Apple has traditionally opened the music app automatically, or asked you to download it at a blank landing page. That landing is now more soft and helpful, though missing song previews. iTunes Preview, as its known, drops browsers at a page with artist, track, and album ...

• To Do? Too Late! and Facebook Polls

  
  K-Squared Ramblings — Authority: 135
  I thought of several things to add to my to-do list on my way to work this morning. I just opened my list & can’t remember any of them. # Facebook polls need a “This is BS” option. Too many are based on false premises or are of the “Threat or Menace?” variety. # Copyright © 2009 Kelson Vibber ...

• I can has good mark?

  
  Imaginary Sunshine — Authority: 125
  I generally try to eat remotely healthy. I do try. Or sometimes, I just lapse and don’t eat a thing, at which point, if someone notices that I haven’t been eating breakfast or lunch, they’ll start asking me about my weight and if I’ve been losing a lot of weight lately (because, you know, I can’t be just ...

• It’s not collagen

  
  Perri Nelson's Website — Authority: 465
  I use a URL rewriter library to set up my permalink URLs. I did this for a couple of reasons. The primary reason is that it allows me to provide you with a simple way to get to my archive. For example, the URL for this post should be http://perrinelson.com/2009/11/12/1392.aspx . The format is obvious – the path ...

  Gustav's Groupie — Authority: 431
  I actually witnessed my coworker inappropriately using a good chisel today while he was having a conversation with me and another coworker and our supervisor. He was nailing up a cabinet with built in shelf standards and was cleaning up glue squeeze-out. I noticed he was using one of our well-honed paring chisels, ...

• Hazards of Keyless Ignition and Office Chairs.

  
  K-Squared Ramblings — Authority: 135
  Today I learned that keyless ignition makes it easy to accidentally leave your car running. Good thing it was only 5 minutes. # The fact that it idles silently (no need to run the motor unless it’s charging the battery) was probably a necessary factor too. # Amusing: Apple has released Safari 4.0.4 . Seems ...

  Harper Hoorahs — Authority: 113
  I had to laugh at the fortune Ryan pulled out of his fortune cookie last night. "Put up with small annoyances to gain great results." Earlier in the day I spent the better part of an hour on the phone with the customer support department of a discount online pharmacy where we had previously ordered my medicine. I ...

  Life in the left lane — Authority: 418
  I’m not sure what has been wrong with me lately, but I have been so tired.  For the past few weeks, I pretty much fall asleep on the couch every night.  The times that I doze off vary – sometimes it’s been as early as 9:30 p.m, other times it’s closer to 11 p.m.  I don’t know why I let myself get ...
