It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice – there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.

I once worked for a web startup where this was atop the trash can beside the CEO’s desk.
It was meant to be a joke, but it was much closer to truth than any of us were able to admit. Needless to say, the company is no more.

on avoiding an evil…
A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.

The years really do fly by. Don’t miss a minute.

The Real Spirit of Christmas
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

I got a Mac, at least partially, so I would get into this. Maybe… someday. Maybe Thursday?

This bums me out just a little. See, I switched to Mac because Microsoft is forcing users to migrate to Vista. I should have waited though. I would have gotten the latest and greatest Mac next year instead of what will then be my “old” MacBook Pro. Of course, I’ll be ready for the new hotness by then anyway, but I probably could have muddled through with my old Fujitsu Lifebook until next year (and saved some cash).
Vista sucks. A friend of mine who is not all that geeky or a heavy computer user (but a business owner and heavy golfer with a life many might envy) said it shouldn’t be named Vista, but sucking cavern or ravine or something like that. He’s a surveyor. It’s all about perspective, right?
Yeah, Vista sucks no matter where you stand.
