Steve Irwin

The following isn’t true. It is not Steve Irwin’s 57th birthday because he only ever made it to 44.

Wrong Again Google

I appreciate the sentiment but it would be more accurate of them to say Today would have been Steve’s 57th birthday. That is factually accurate.

I do miss him. He was a one of a kind awesome guy who should have gotten a longer ride on the life train.

Vacation Plans

For my next “mini” vacation, I plan to tackle something that has been driving me nuts for years. The cables under my desk. They are out of control and I have spent countless hours trying to get them to look less unwieldy.

I’ve purchased a couple of items to help the process.

Getting things organized and throwing out things I don’t need nor ever going to use has become a priority. The bottom line is that I have accumulated too much stuff. When I get to that point, I almost feel “dirty.” It is like a personal cleanse must occur to make me feel complete and somewhat normal.

Here is the current mess.

Updated: February 25, 2019 – The pictures below are the final version.

Outlook 2019

Microsoft Outlook 2019

I have been trying to get the new version of Outlook to work on my MacBook Pro for about as long as I can remember. We use an older version where I work and I have always wanted to try the newer shinier version. You know, because I am a geek.

This morning I had a revelation concerning settings and I tried it.

It worked.

The new version seems pretty cool.

Now, if we could only do something about Communicator…

What Happened to January?

Well. That is a very good question. Was I off taking exotic vacations? No. Was I abducted? No. We spent the last month…planning.

Planning what?

Planning the next year which is already booked solid.

I’ll make a concerted effort to keep this place updated as we blaze ahead.


MacWorld UK

Is entertaining to say the least…

The folks in the UK are no more knowledgable about what Apple is doing than silicon valley itself.

I do love their headlines however.

Ok…wait a tick…

Let’s take a tangent for a second. My sentence as it’s written above demonstrates the correct use of “their” as a possessive pronoun. The grammar/spell checker is highlighting it and saying that the use is incorrect. However, the grammar/spell checker is incorrect.

I do love they’re headlines however. <– NOT CORRECT

I do love there headlines however. <– also NOT CORRECT.

correct use of “their” as a possessive pronoun. Suck it grammar/spell checker!

As for Macworld UK, you are still entertaining.
