Writes all the things. Most of the things never write back.
I’m watching a mattress commercial, and it occurs to me that there is such a profession as mattress designer, or mattress engineer, and I want to take one aside and ask them if there is really a design reason to make mattresses that thick and if so, what it is.
I’m not going to say this is a question which keeps me awake at night, but since this IS night and I’m still awake, this question does not exactly promote sleep, either.
I think the first laser printer I bought was around $1500.
Today I saw a compact Hewlett Packard laser printer – with USB cable – for $35.
The occasional egregious typo aside, it’s been a good week since I turned off Autocorrect on the iPad. It seems Autocorrect has a higher rate of faulty autocorrections than I do of typos.
I checked out the current generation of MacBook Airs yesterday. I have an older (pre-butterfly keyboard) Air. Airs are cheap (for Apple) right now.
I could type quickly and accurately on it, but I really didn’t care for the shallow key travel, so I think I’m going to pass for now
Apple has been faulted for prioritizing thinness and style over function and reliability. For the price they command, I expect better than a keyboard that doesn’t feel much different than typing on the virtual keyboard on my iPad.

Crazy…it worked! After reposting this to all my friends, and muttering arcane incantations under the nearly-full moon, friends started appearing out of nowhere. Some seemed surprised to be there.
Here’s how to avoid hearing from the same 25 Facebook friends, due to Facebook’s new algorithm. What happened to their old algorithm, by the way? Is there a used algorithm market somewhere? Can I buy it and start Footbook or something?

Then, copy and paste onto your wall so you can have more interaction with all your contacts. Or your contact lenses. I’m not sure which. Copy and paste what? I don’t know. Be creative. And don’t use library paste. I see you eating the library paste. Shame on you. I don’t think that’s on the Paleo diet.
I don’t know what happens then. Maybe we all go bowling. People don’t bowl enough these days.
It apparently involves dancing.
”I was immediately warped to a dance podium, where I started dancing, against my will.”
I love my MacBook Air.
Don’t Buy an Apple Laptop Until the New MacBook Air Comes Out
Oh, Autocorrect. I’m telling someone how to make corned beef, and say “You mix up a brine,” which Autocorrect changes to “You mix up a bribe.”
NOT THE SAME THING, AUTOCORRECT.
Sometimes I see an ad for a Garmin GPS and I misread it as Gaiman, which would take me in quite a different direction, if it was Neil Gaiman.
Watching Doctor Who via Roku. Eight minutes before the end, it stops and says “Service Unavailable. We apologize, but we are unable to fulfill your request at this time. Please try again later. [OK]”
I am not a Time Lord. Not that I am willing to admit publicly yet. Those of you who know the truth, hush.
a) BBC America
2) Time Warner Cable
III) Roku
100) Doctor freakin’ Who himself?
E) All of the above
6) None of the above
7) There is no 7.
8) There is no 8 either. It disappeared along with the eight minutes of the Doctor Who episode.
(Hint: it’s never All of the Above or None of the Above in a multiple choice exam. Unless it is. This is reality-based, more or less, so use your best judgment. Then again, you’ve wasted valuable moments of your life reading this, so your best judgment is automatically suspect. That entity next to you looks sensible. Ask him, her, or it. It’s not cheating. I’m not looking. Ignore how I knew there was someone or something next to you as evidence to the contrary. It was a lucky guess.)
