Junk
Cheetos would’ve been almost appropriate This entry really isn’t about snacks, but instead, random junk from installing a new OS. After frantically trying to find my Microsoft shirt to wear at the Apple store tonight, I gave up and have resigned myself to tackle laundry this weekend. A wipe of my drive and another frantic…

Clickr
Gas stove woes Imagine someone clicking two fingernails together and amplify that dozens of times with an irregular rhythm. The pilot light keeps clicking on my stovetop. I’ve googled to no avail.

I elect to clean up my computer
Mac OS X geekery ahead: A few handy utilities to the rescue My computer’s been grinding lately, pausing, unhappy in general. I believe it has something to do with a lack of disk space, some bloated swap file, having lots of apps open, and refreshing caches a boatload. It’s hard to find out where space…

Try AOL for Broadband
I’ve bitched about it before, I’ll bitch about it again. Dear AOL, My mom told me not to hate, but you leave me no choice. No matter how many checkboxes I un-check, you still insist on littering your frickin “Try AOL for Broadband” and “Refer a friend” dingleberries all over my system every time I’m…
