He’ll always be Miles from Electric Dreams to me. RIP.

whacked the yellow jacket nest with a poll.

Now everyone please remember that state minimum wage is not intended to be a living wage for an adult, and a surprisingly low proportion of the workforce actually works as low as minimum wage (less than 2% in my province, British Columbia, IIRC). Minimum wage jobs are meant to be someone’s first toe-hold into the job…

Thanks for the detailed reply. The ways of germaphobes are a mystery to me. :)

BootCamp would like a word with you.

I'm a Chrome user on desktop, so you'd think my choice for a mobile browser would follow suit. But after iOS 8, I made the switch from Chrome to Safari and haven't looked back. I like that Chrome keeps my settings synced up across devices, but it turns out, I don't really care about that on mobile. Whatever I'm…

First off, I'm well aware that iTunes on Windows is a pretty bad experience. But iTunes on the Mac works pretty well and there really aren't any alternatives that can replace it on the Mac. Vox is awesome, but I still end up using iTunes most of the time. Sure, iTunes is a bit bloated at this point, and why I need the…

Apple Maps got off to a pretty bad start, but it's better since the launch. So far, it hasn't lead me into a canyon. The sad, pathetic reason I like Apple Maps more than Google Maps? It works really well on iOS and doesn't require a bunch of tweaking. I used Google Maps for a long time, but I got sick of it quitting…

I don't do email on iOS very often, if I did, I'd use Dispatch, but I'm in front of my computer all day long, so mobile email isn't really a necessity for me. What is useful is Mail's VIP…

I used to put off going to bed because I didn't want it to be the next day, and the later I stayed up, the more of today I could still enjoy. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, I suppose, but when you hate your job, it seems to make sense...

If you have to actively restrain yourself to maintain your bodyweight, you will gain weight over time.

Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers, nice man, good with kids.

That's my secret, Captain. It's always opened.

I wish Kinja had an unstar button.

This is one of those things that the importance of, does depend on what you need a suit for. If the only time you are going to wear a suit is to your son or daughter's wedding, or to a friend's funeral, then most of the people you deal with are not going to be concerned with whether it's an exact fit.
