Sometimes, You Just Need a Change of Perspective
This is, hands down, my favorite photo of the place where I've lived (off and on) for the past 18 years.

Bliss Mammoth Minty Scrub Soap
My bar of soap from Club Bing finally arrived, today!

AVG vs. iTunes? Or AVG vs. Customer Service?
According to Mashable, AVG has had an episode of flagging iTunes as a trojan . I've had my own experience with AVG and false positives . It should've been a simple matter, but that's not how things turned out. Of course, false positives are going to happen, but AVG's customer service certainly made ...

Ant on Wet Plastic
It may not seem like much, in terms of wallpaper, but this has been gracing (de-gracing?) my desktop since I got my camera last month. The blues remind me of the Modern theme from way back in the Mozilla Suite's timeline. I find it relaxing. Permalink | Leave a comment »
