They say the perfect thing to do during times of economic depravity and plundering budgets is to head back to school, so, I thought I’d give it a shot. O.K. So it’s not exactly school and I’m still not going to be called Doctor Skelton, which I trust some eastern college with a Victorian heritage …

Afternoon Bike Commute: Cloud Pods. Gabriel passed me some great investing advice which he found on some board and I am now passing on to you and labeling the Heineken Investment Strategy. Basically it goes like this: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. …

I must have something delicious in my kitchen. Two uninvited gray squirrels are hopelessly climbing on the screens of my kitchen window with a manic passion to get in. They continue to dance around looking for the opening that’s just not there. As they move they form letters. Perpendicular, they make the letter “T” until …

Saturday morning. Lot’s of rain. A huge day of power tools and book case building ahead of me today. I’m so bummed that Amazon Light had to get rid of their serendipity button. I was having a lot of fun playing with that over the last couple of days. Regardless, it’s still a great app. …

Excellent. Everything’s clean. Back on the horse. Thanks to the PC junkies for your feedback. Much appreciated. And thanks to Sara for sending me the link that dives into the conspiracy theory about Macintoshes new Darwin Operating System and the unholy crusade behind its worldwide implementation. In short, Darwin is to Anti-God as Open Source …

Well it’s official. Mac users are smarter than PC users. That’s right. We went to better schools, we dress better, listen to our mothers better, and shave our beards better than your typical dark-circles-under-the-eyes-hasn’t-changed-his-clothes-in-four-days joe(jane) shmoe PC user. To wit, we watch much better MTV than PC users do. I am so please by two, …

Coming Home: Lake Michigan [enlarge photo] Ohhh the glories of business travel. Yuck! Business travel is just not glamorous. Not anymore anyway. Was it ever? Yes I was signaled out for a “random” security check at MPLS airport. Fewer things are as embarrassing as removing your belt and having people grope you while only a …
