Defining Misconfigured
(Disclosure: I am a big geek, so I tend to read websites for big geeks. One of those sites is the “PowerPage” which is designed for power users of Apple’s portable PowerBook laptop systems.)
In any event, this particular posting has kept me chuckling all morning.
(In an interesting aside, several of you had noticed this posting [...]
Are You a Bad Person?
David Smeigh emailed this link over to Debra and I—though Debra is quick to point out it was TO me and she was only CC’d—saying it reminded him of us.
I send 160 emails a day. Am I a bad person?
Of course reading this article forced me to go back and take a look at my [...]
Pardon Our Dust

Deb's Tweets
- Almost home after a busy weekend. No traffic. Kids asleep. No stops.
- “@ellsworthlink: "Microsoft Just Killed the Double Rainbow Meme" http://t.co/GJl48Qk” @nathanfillion is going to be so sad.
- Nothing quite like watching someone draw 8 vials of blood from your arm.
