The virtual keyboard is the only thing about the iPad I don't like. It was bad on my iPad 2, and it's still bad in my new one. Two keys that don't work properly are the space bar — my words tend to get stucktogether likethis — and the letter o, so I keep getting words like "frustratin" instead of "frustration". I type…

I've been doing that for years. The price is usually a little more than checking the bag, but it's worth it to have the UPS people do the schlepping. But I still need to bring a carry-on with my computer stuff and other things I don't want to ship. But it won't be on Spirit.

Bin Laden lived with three of his wives in a compound that he didn't leave for several years. I think he called the Navy Seals himself.

I'm hoping somebody gets sued up the wazoo for that. Those packages are sharp as glass when you cut them open.

I was disappointed that they killed off Holly, and also felt bad for Fargo. But Felicia Day has so many other projects going on right now. Hey, that reminds me… it's Tuesday. That means another episode of The Guild was released! So off I go to Geek and Sundry.

I'll add one to the pile: Yutz. Yiddish word for someone who is both a dork and an unintentional clown. A yutz is *not* a d-bag, because there is no implied malfeasance.

Odd thing happened. I went to sleep a few nights ago, and next thing I know, I'm wide awake, teetering on top of some building outside Boston. Damn that Skaro, it's gotta be him. Emergency temporal shift!

So here's a question: most cell phones have a setting for airplane mode. But flight attendants will tell you not just to put the phone in airplane mode but to shut it off completely. So what's the point of airplane mode?

Uh oh. Read "Floating Dragon", by Stephen King.

It had to be an admiral named McRaven. That's why bin Laden is never more.

Whip it. Whip it good.

I prefer the way Gallagher did it.

Do you know how Miller Lite is like having sex in a canoe? They're both f—-ing close to water.

I open up the hard drive casing, remove the platters, then use an electric sander to physically remove all the data from the hard drives. That's free, and nothing is more secure.

Frakking toasters look like refrigerators, now.

What I can't stand is that almost every high-end office phone system comes with a digital answering machine that I don't want and never use. But I still have to pay for it.

I never saw this show, but will watch on Friday. Felicia Day is doing a guest appearance.

NOW, we're talking!

"Of course it makes noise. That's what sonic means!"

The 10th Doctor already did something like that, on the space ship Titanic. (With Geoffrey Palmer as the ship's captain, and Kylie Minogue in a leading role.)
