in other words, its probably better to buy a mac laptop than, for example, a dell. although, i’ve had a few dells over the years and none of them ever did this:
still, better safe than on fire i always say. there you go. your safety tip for the weekend.

Comic Con Hangover
Posted on July 25, 2006
i usually don’t do this (well, sometimes) but i kinda like the article that i posted over at LAist about the San Diego Comic Con. yes, i was there this year. four days of comic geek nerd heaven. it was fun. for my thought on the whole affair, check out the article.
now that i’m back in town with a few days to kill (or a few months, years, or more hopefully) i’ll get back to work here in a day or so. for now, here’s some nice photos from around the web (mostly from LAist but who’s counting?)
Ms. Universe – Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza
The new American Apparel Add seen around LA.
Blogging from a blackberry
Posted on July 18, 2006And they said it couldn’t be done! Well, nobody really ever said that. Just thought I would give it a try. Blogging from a blackberry I mean.
Wow, that woman has a deep voice for a woman. I think that might be a man, baby. Starbucks has such diversity, doesn’t it?
Ok, gotta go. Off to do some work and then down to comic con tomorrow. What fun!
Starbucks, Mars Edit and John Coltrane
Posted on July 11, 2006well, here i sit at my local, and still favorite, Starbucks in studio city. john coltrane’s “a love supreme” is playing. for once, they have some pretty good music here. usually, its some junk i don’t know or like very much. but sometimes, they hit it right on the mark. at least the days of hearing alanis morissette’s “jagged little pill” acoustic record twenty times a day are gone. i almost lost it a few time i can tell you. that was almost too much.
anyway, i am trying out a new piece of software (at least for me) called Mars Edit. what is is? its for blogging, silly. much like ecto, Mars Edit is a blogging post tool. it allows you to write, edit, etc. blog posts and then upload them for all to see and enjoy. or whatever it is people do during and after reading my blog entries. the people that make Mars edit also make my rss reader of choice, NetNews Wire.
i really like ecto and i think the guys that make it are doing a great job. that said, Mars Edit works pretty well for me so far too. plus, it looks like i will be able to post to other sites like Laist with Mars Edit as well, which would make life easier. i haven’t tried posting to Laist yet but i will soon. i hope it works as i don’t love having to go to a web page in order to post.
i think for text, Mars Edit will probably be just fine. it’s the image handling that has me concerned. will i be able to put the images in the posts the way they are supposed to be or will the site look weird after i post? well, only one way to find out, right?
i’m sure tony pierce is a good boss and won’t mind if i mess up the site by accident. i’m sure it will work out just fine. plus, i’m going to steal a picture from his site for your enjoyment that has absolutely nothing to do with what i’m writing here. i just felt like putting it up. so sue me.
Happy 4th!

America, still number 1. even if it does have a few problems, it’s still the best country in the world. also, if you are in the la area, laist has a list of some of the places you can go see fireworks. enjoy.
