On the edge of glory. I've written 38 out of 40 chapters of "Master Your Mac." Only 2 chapters left to go! But first, dinner with the family

Sick as a dog, and still have 5 chapters to write in 7 days. Whee!

Looking for a quick pick-me-up? Read the comments on your website. Like this one: "Your statement is evidence of your naivety."

It's incredible to see how CNET destroyed MacFixIt. There's nothing left except 2-3 sad little posts per week. I miss the old site!

Never thought I'd say this, but I wish I had picked WordPress instead of Drupal for Macinstruct's CMS back in 2007. Live and learn?

I've realized that 8GB of RAM is not enough for me at this point in my life. Only problem is that 16GB for the MacBook Pro is $475. Ouch.

Once you use #spotify, you never want to use anything else. The app is literally running circles around iTunes.

I just want a 13-inch MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i5 processor. Is that too much to ask for?

Read Noam Chomsky while you still can -- he's turning 82 next week! http://chomsky.info/interviews/20101130.htm

It's cold and windy in Albuquerque. A good time to eat leftover turkey, wear wool socks, and listen to the Drive-By Truckers.

A mistake is an event, the full benefit of which has not yet been turned to your advantage. -Edwin H. Land

Really, @wordpress? I have to add a plugin to disable the no comments message? I need to hack the theme to rename the "home" link? #fail

Creating a personal website. Am I the only one who has a hard time talking about myself?

Sitting in front of the fire!

Why do SSL certs suck?

Whew! Dodged a bullet! Macinstruct is (mostly) back online. I can stop sweating beads now.

Macinstruct's server died last night. Downloading backups now.
