Who the hell is running this place?

Technical Projects
I am currently working on server type stuff. I realize that if I get much more technical than that, there will be a few folks whose heads may explode.
I enjoy the simplicity of Mac Server.
I do not enjoy the complexity of creating an internal ecosystem.

Instapaper Roundup
These are some of the stories I found to be important enough to save to Instapaper.
Our paychecks just got 2% lighter.
Some folks would like to ban the term “fiscal cliff” from the English language.
A great bluetooth security idea for Apple computers.
That's all I have for this week.
Stay tuned. Coming up this week…I'm sure congress will do something stupid, someone will try to take someone else's rights away, and the United States (sans morality) will continue to spiral into the abyss of history as a great idea on paper but easily corruptable over time which leads to its inevitable failure.
Fieldrunners 2 for iPad
This game is my latest addiction on the iPad. This is not a game that you'll find yourself playing for a small amount of time. I'm always looking up at the clock and saying something like “damn!”
You can get the game here.
Instapaper Dump: Some Good Reading
Here are some stories worth reading via Instapaper.
1. The Surface. Great product? Poor Execution?
2. A few books that Bill Gates think are worth reading from 2012.
3. Five planets found around Tau Ceti. One may be habitable.
4. Short battery life plagues Windows 8 tablets.
5. Fake Morgan Freeman statement on Sandy Hook killings.
So 10 Days Later…
I haven't posted anything on here for 10+ days.
There is a good reason for that.
Ok, no there is not.
I have a new day time work schedule so maybe that has something to do with it.
Two Things That Piss Me Off
The lady that puts her hazardous lights on, gets out of her mini van in the middle of a busy road to collect mail from a roadside mailbox. The problem is that the lady doesn't just grab the mail and move along. No. She stands there in the road looking at each piece of mail. Hopefully, one day someone will run her fat ass over.
The media (call it mainstream if you'd like) but the media in general really pissed me off over this Sandy Hook school shooting. How many facts can you get wrong? Not only that but the sensationalizing and glorification of an evil cold-blooded child killer is wrong on any planet you may find yourself on. The media should be ashamed of itself for the way it covered this tragic event. Shame on you and I hope you burn in hell you pathetic pieces of shit.
Wow. I feel better.
Yes. Someone still needs to run the fat ass mail lady over. It just needs to happen.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Whatever that means to you in whatever part of the world you may live in.
Today after the main meal, I'll be focusing on losing extra weight that beer has helped me put on. I plan to be in full tennis match shape by the time the spring rolls around. Its a bit agressive but necessary.
My incredibly brilliant weight loss plan?
Take in less calories than I expend. Simple. Works.
Exercise will also be a part of the regiment.
In my twenties and into my thirties I was capable of doing a thousand push-ups and a thousand sit-ups. There is no reason to believe that I cannot reach that goal in a reasonable amount of time.
Here's to a losing winter. 🙂
New Zagg Keyboard for the iPad
ZaggKeys ProPlus
Just got the new ZaggKeys Pro Plus keyboard/case for my iPad 3rd generation today.
The first test of any new keyboard is for me to write a new blog post about it.
This is a new type of case. The iPad is held in place when closed by magnets and their is no real “case” per se. The iPad and the keyboard together are the case. What this means is that I'll have to buy a Gelaskin for the iPad and possibly something for the back of the keyboard piece.
The backlit keys are a plus.
Typing feels really good as well. I'm liking it.
