WTH?

ZATARAIN’S® Jambalaya Mix + Aidell’s Cajun = foodlove
Loving this lately.
Easy to make, and extra good (if more expensive) with this. I also like it with Turkey sausage. Need to find and try the brown rice version, too.About time…
He should have been here all season. Corey Patterson’s performance was a predictable as sunshine in July. Strike one on Dusty.
Strike two, I’m afraid, is his handling of Cueto and Volquez. Cueto threw 118 pitches in five innings the other night. Volquez seems to throw 100+ in 5 or 6 each start. I wanted to [...]Pharos to support Mac/Intel
One obstacle (besides pricing) to placing Macs on our floors for public computers has been the lack of Pharos SignUp support for Mac on Intel. Mac on PowerPC has been supported for some time, but not Mac/Intel. I learned today that later in June we should get Mac/Intel support.
In general, I’ve found Pharos SignUp fully-featured, [...]new disc golf course at Rotary Park
My daughter and I, as representatives of Flight Clubbe, played (or, I should say, walked) the new disc golf course at Rotary Park in Huntington, WV while I was at my mom’s this weekend. It is heavily wooded, with lots of elevation changes. I’d be lucky to break 80 there. I wanted to [...]
new Drupal site for Lane Libraries staff
We unveiled our new Drupal-based staff site last week: http://staff.lanepl.org (or lanelearning.org).
Drupal isn’t as intuitive as WP, but I like it, and I think it is a good platform for us for this purpose. Our host is anhosting.com and I can’t say enough good things about that outfit. Cheap, and excellent service. Usually don’t get [...]
“The promise of Google Apps includes a shrinking IT staff”
ArsTechnica article on GAFYD implementations resulting in a loss of IT jobs in universities.
Comments section of the article worth a read, too. More positive GAFYD comments there than I usually see. Some cite corporations as the next target, but that will be more difficult (at least until the GAFYD-using college students graduate and move along [...]Why my next home computer MIGHT be a Mac. Or might not…
Why?
Winrot.
Love Love Love the Macbook I use at work.
Similarly, my iPod Nano is my favorite tech purchase of all time.
An OS that gets out of my way.
Almost everything I do now is web-based. MSFT Office, and other WinApps are nearly irrelevant to me now.
Paralells for when they aren’t (e.g. Quicken. And what else? Hmmm….)
iTunes is [...]Impressions of Wattstax (1973 documentary)
So, I watched Wattstax for the first time tonight. It wasn’t what I expected, exactly. There was less emphasis on the concert, and more dialogue from the soul brothers and sistas on the street, some of whom were pretty funny and reminded me of some people I used to know. Lots of “mofo” talk, [...]
MindMeister - online mind mapping tool
is an online mind-map tool I ‘ve used for a few weeks.
Here’s a link to a screencast about it.
We called this “clustering” when I was in high school. I usually don’t fool with these online and just do paper ones, but sometimes it is useful to share and collaborate on one. MindMeister does a pretty [...]
