Well the Gods of Things that Work but Especially Things that Don't are evidently quite unhappy with me. Not content with annihilating my van, less than three hours later the iMac died, exactly the same way it did a couple months back. Which cost me a motherboard and hours of reinstallation work. Here's hoping there's a 90-day warranty on that sucker. What could cause this? Would a flaky power outlet do this kind of damage? Like, I am so not having fun all of a sudden! 9:02:41 PM | permalink | comment [] |

In apparent reaction to my impulse network shopping yesterday, the Maintenance Gods struck my van dead at the beer store about an hour ago. Like the parrot: snuffed it, kaput, joined the bleeding choir! Fortunately Ralph was around to collect me and provide alternate wheels - thanks! 6:54:50 PM | permalink | comment [] |

I'm experimenting with some JavaScript to detect the QuickTime plug-in, so please fasten your seatbelts and return your tray tables to the locked and upright position. 12:59:55 PM | permalink | comment [] |

Blogging the Open from tube-side. Memo to Movado: back off with the Flash-for-TV ads - the music is making me crazy already and we're barely one set into it. 12:02:21 PM | permalink | comment [] |

Yeah! Men's semifinals at the US Open today. Agassi and Hewitt, Sampras and the man with the world's strangest serve motion: Schalken. Luckily my ZMM month campaign is over and I can watch TV again. Another stunningly predictable (read boring) women's final. Not that long ago a women's final was almost always more interesting than the men's, but thanks to the overwhelming dominance of the Williams sisters that's no longer true.9:47:44 AM | permalink | comment [] |
