Haub asks: Hey Alex….I also have a MacBook and am wondering if you’ve had any of the random shutdown issues as described here. My 14 day return window is over tomorrow and you being a power user could shed some light on how your machine is holding up. I’ll be pretty ticked if I get…

I’ve been doing some front-end consulting for Dexterra, but they really need to hire someone in-house to own the UI for a pretty cool enterprise web-based application they are building. You would own the UI, doing the interaction design and championing usability concerns as well as developing layouts in Visio, mock-ups in Photoshop and functional…

I was shocked, shocked, this weekend to discover that 3 out of 4 people in our group preferred regular Oreos to Double Stuf Oreos. What is this world coming to? Don’t even get me started on delicious oatmeal raisin cookies vs. the abomination that is oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

I want to use Trac as the engine for a web site1 for an open source project I’m planning to launch soon. Unfortunately, my struggles with Trac have not gone well so far. If anyone has some experience they’d like to share or would be willing to be a Trac admin resource for the project,…

Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. The soldier decided…

It looks like the folks behind Shark Modem (a BlackBerry modem application for Windows) are considering making a Mac version. I’m on a rooftop in their latest blog post. Will they be the ones to claim the bounty (which is up to $482 now!)?

I limped through my recent DSL outage by booting into Windows on my MacBook and tethering through my BlackBerry (wouldn’t it be nice to be able to tether in Mac OS X?), but I sorely missed the EV-DO connection I had with Sprint. I wish Sprint or Verizon would offer an EV-DO plan that only…

The replacement DSL modem works – thank goodness!

When it rains, it pours. This shouldn’t happen: Apple is sending me a box to ship it in for service. The strange thing is that the dark area has significantly faded since I took this photo.

I’ve got no problem with having call centers in India or anywhere else, however I don’t see any reason not to hold them responsible when they screw up. I called Qwest at 12:20am (Mountain) on July 18th and was given the run-around for 45 minutes while I tried to convince the lady reading the script…

My DSL modem died last night – please forgive e-mail slow response times etc. UPDATE: As Scott pointed out, my Sprint EVDO connection would have been handy right about now. Qwest claims they will have a new modem to me tomorrow – we shall see.
