Sometime today they stopped being friendly... I am using the web-based gtalk client in gmail, but it doesn't make any sound, so if you have AIM, contact me there if you need me badly. Otherwise email is (usually) working!

What is the point of even letting me download for OS X something called "Real Player" or "Window Media Player" from your respective sites when 9 times out of 10 they do not play Real or Windows media?

Ok... I have recently bought a few books for my MA-Christian Outreach classes on Amazon.com.
Their search is not very good at all... There have been two books that I had to put the ISBN in to get them. Putting the Author and Title should be sufficient to at least get ...

I think my IT department fixed registration, so if you haven't been able to comment because you haven't been able to register, you should now. I sent out a few already to people who have told me they were unable to comment.

My brother is "teh expert" on ...

Where New York Times columnist David Pogue latched onto this fascinating factoid, there's no telling. But as randomly useless bits of trivia go, this is definitely worth noting.
Pogue writes: Late tonight -- specifically, 123 seconds ...

Since I switched to WordPress, this blog has had two spam attempts, and they have both been on this post about tea. Odd.

I've been catching up on John Siracusa's Blog Fatbits, which is a great blog for nerdy macheads like myself. I really enjoyed this little tidbit:
Any viable solution must work within the (often inconvenient) bounds of reality.
That's something just about everyone can be reminded about all all the time.

I never thought they could do it, but Google, with Gmail, has successfully taken webmail and made it good enough that I don't want to launch an application on my computer and check my mail that way. I'll say it now (and take it back in 5 years, most likely) ...

When you search Google for "Dwight Knoll" right now they put the post that contains my imaginary obituary. I don't know if that is because that is the last time they cached my site, or what, but I hope that people aren't freaked out by it...

Two ideas came to me yesterday, and they seemed really good to me yesterday. See what you think.
1. Ok, I'm watching Sopranos with Thomas and Kim. We are almost done with the fourth season, so maybe this won't work because of what has happened in subsequent episodes. I think they ...

...sleepy? No, not according to snopes:
Turkey does contain tryptophan, an amino acid which is a natural sedative. But tryptophan doesn't act on the brain unless it is taken on an empty stomach with no protein present

My friend, Sir Robert, has a blog now. We are starting a business together (amazingrestoration.com) He's pretty cool and about 90 times smarter than me, so you can just imagine what his blog will be like.

Google just released a free page statistics tracker. Pretty cool. I'm using it for my site, because the other ones I've used weren't free, or the free version was limited.
