O frabjous day!

Monday, June 6, 2011

Is there a way to put myself in suspended animation? Normally, I wouldn’t want to miss a summer but what with today’s developments, this world will seem to me “a sterile promontory”, the summer something merely to endure, for what is life when one must wait until September for real joy and happiness? The long […]

Money in spam

Friday, March 25, 2011

Yesterday I was the victim of an onslaught of spam comments. 61, all touting the benefits of a device or drug that promised to enlarge a certain portion of the male anatomy. Each was from a different IP address, so it was rather tedious work adding them all to my blacklist. It appears to have […]

For Ipad fans only

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

If you’re on Ipad fan like I am, you may also have been frustrated, as I have been, by the lack of a way to save web pages and other documents as PDFs. It’s one of the great things about the Mac-PDF capability is built into the print dialog for every piece of software. Well, […]

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

At the beginning of the year I posted a number of (mostly political) predictions, among which was this one: The Ipad will be updated, and I will find a reason why I absolutely need one, but Lon Seidman will get one first. Well, the Ipad 2 was announced today. I was disappointed to hear that […]

Apple: rotten to the core?

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

My RSS feeds come in two basic flavors: politics and computers. The computer feeds are heavily concentrated on things Apple. I bought a Mac about seven years ago and have never looked back. Back then, Apple was still a relatively bit player in the computer world, and besides getting better technology and software, you could […]

Finally

Monday, November 22, 2010

IOS 4.2 is finally here. I know this means nothing to you non-Ipad owners, but for those who do own the fabled tablet, this update is supposed to bring eternal happiness, along with 100 new features, though when they’re listed, they always seem to peter out at about 10. I’ll be fooling around with it […]

Let’s get serious

Monday, September 27, 2010

In my last post I said I didn’t feel like ranting, and I still don’t, at least not about anything political, but I must put in my two cents about a recent development in the world of the Ipad. The New Yorker now has an app. I just downloaded it, but unfortunately there’s no free […]

Interim Report-The Ipad

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

As I mentioned at the time, I was among the very first recipients of an Ipad. Many of you are probably asking: How’s that working out. Well, none of you are really asking, but I’m going to tell you anyway, in case you’re contemplating getting one. When I bought the thing, which I’m using to […]

Ipad-First Impressions

Saturday, April 10, 2010

This is a bit late of course. The Ipad is so last week. Mine arrived with the first batch delivered, but I was away so I didn’t get to play with it until yesterday. It’s not an original observation, but I’ll make it anyway: it’s great at providing content, but the jury is still out […]
