He wore it better, just sayin'

That whooshing sound you hear is his thankfully ex g/f moving away from him as fast as possible. Good god I think she broke the speed of sound!

This is so very true. We speak of "moving through grief" and for me as well simple routine just helped keep me moving.

The thing is: the time needed to reach the point when the sharp edges soften and the memories of the one who passed bring comfort is a very very personal experience only the person grieving can determine. It can't be foisted on you like someone waiting for you to be ready to leave for a movie.

Someone to a quick sketch of her applying for a job at DC in the nuuuuuude.

I'd add a 6.5 - if you stop too quickly, that top pizza box is gonna rocket off the bottom one and onto the floor. Dampen a napkin or two (maybe the 'sweat' from that soda bottle) and put it between the boxes. Just enough friction to keep the top box (or boxes if you put it between each one) from slipping. Damp,…

It was never our policy as it puts the clerk in potential harms way. Think of it, a bank employee tells a minimum wage store employee to cut up a card in front of someone who potentially stole it and could go psycho?

Wow "4271" - Citibank Visa. Sweet

I worked for a bank for a number of years and there were a couple of conditions that could be 'activated' that would make our machines 'eat' cards: 3 wrong PINs (though it might have been 4th try doesn't work - it's been years), customer flagged as severely overdrawn and evades contact phone-calls and, of course,…

I'm not home but I'm thinking about 4500 songs + 2 doz audiobooks. So, yeah, I guess maybe the size of the library works for me. I also don't stream iTunes (as others seem to do) and I rarely if ever play within iTunes for me, it's a "make playlists, load them onto the device and get the heck out."

There's no real getting around this. Everyone has different experiences, but an awful lot of people have found that iTunes is so slow that it's just frustrating to use. The app takes awhile to start up (though this has improved in the latest version), editing metadata causes it to slow to a crawl, and syncing files to…

We're likely going to be moving part-way across the country in a few months and, to be honest, we're thinking it'll be clothes + tech + a few personal items. Our sofa's are crap, we could probably Craigslist better when we get there. Our bed's about due for a replace so why truck it. So — we're strongly…

The Canuck version is CA$199 or US$189. Yay us!

Universal Pictures?

Pixar lawyer on line one!

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the new YouTube. The old version was simple, yes, but intuitive: hold the tablet in portrait and you got lists of things, click a vid and you got the vid at top with desc. and comments, rotate the tablet to landscape and the vid fills the screen.

The window seat of an exit row [are the best seats in coach for catching some Z's]—as long as there isn’t an emergency. You won’t be disturbed when your seatmates get up, you can rest your head on the window, and with the extra legroom you can use your carry-on as a footrest. The worst place for sleeping is near the…

The Dateline Style Calendar geeklet for the calendar across the top of the screen

My rule is "Outside belongs to them, Inside they die."

I do virtually the same but with my own twist: I had an old, underpowered laptop kicking around so I put it on the network, installed the DB, GD and Box sync s/w on it and shared the directories on the local network. Now my regular machine has them mapped as drives for photos (Box), development (DB) and general stuff…
