... port in (and a pass through port) to pick up digital terrestrial signals.”“It’s a very slick piece of user interface design.

The PlayTV has a dual tuner so you can record one channel while watching another.”However, the fe...

via Sunday Morning Quarterback by SMQ <info@sundaymorningqb.com> on February 13, 2008
If not for you, winter would have no spring I couldn't hear the robins sing I just wouldn't have a clue Anyway it wouldn't ring true If not for you - - - A new-ish reader e-mailed me this week, a Big Ten fan, bewildered and alienated by the characteristic aloofness of the SEC.

An angry Microsoftie vents his spleen
via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs by Steve on February 14, 2008
This guy works at Microsoft but doesn't mind bashing the hell out of them. He's so fed up with Borgware that he's switched to a Mac. Money quote:"I know I'm becoming a snotty Mac user, but after months of having made the transition, I understand why we go snotty. Apple doesn't churn out perfection, but they're hyperaware of the user experience. Things occasionally crash,...

A Tip About Making Keys
via Well Whiskey Friday by wellwhiskeyfriday on February 18, 2008
If you make more than one set, presumably if you live in an apartment building (presumably a front door followed by an actual apartment key), immediately get those two keys in different sets on different rings in a brightly lit area.

There’s Two I’s In Miami
via [redacted] by Dan on February 18, 2008
Let’s recap:28 years ago I was born. At the time, I was presumably lacking in self-awareness, though local lore claims that I didn’t utter a single word until I was two and a half, at which point I woke up one morning and asked what was for breakfast – suggesting that, at the very least, I was smart enough to milk a good situation for some attention and bide my time before absolutely...
