Hagen’s, Fish Keg, Lawrence Fisheries

Hagen’s. I like to be able to taste my fish, instead of hardcasing it in cornmeal so thick the end result is a bit more like cornbread fritters of fish, instead of fish fry. Cost is a bit better too and I think the product is fresher. If in the neighborhood of Fish Keg, I [...]

I hate snow.

Ridiculous ridiculous driving. It’s not so bad when the plows get to the snow. It’s ridiculous when the event hits during rush hour. I’m resigned.

Comcast, you’re so not worth it.

We are paying $100 a month plus for internet (admittedly, quite fast but not worth it) and the rather thin assortment of HD cable channels, and yet there is no SciFi channel? WTF? I’m so going back to DirecTV when we move.

Did I say how much I hate my commute?

The thing is, even on a good day, it’s 45 mins. But today with few cars on the road, still wound up being 1:20. Why? Snow. A street was shut down, diverting traffic. People driving slow. Add this to the two hours I spent getting home last night.

Ridiculously cold out

How bad was it today? -14 windchill. A layer of ice on my car that refused to melt. A 90 minute outbound commute. Last Friday, 2 hrs to go 29 miles. We’re outta here.

I don’t understand Apple Sync

I just don’t have a very good idea about what is being synced and in which direction. System does not report state very well.
If I were to improve the Apple Sync interaction design, perhaps I might use panes: one pane for my iTunes and one pane for my AppleTV. Assuming that one only had one [...]

Chicago ain’t ready for reform?

Can’t say I’m surprised, politically motivated hiring still happens all the time. You think this stuff doesn’t matter to you? It costs you, Chicagoans and Cook County residents. That’s the kind of so-called “affirmative action” we don’t need, because if people are hired on the basis of patronage, and are not the most qualified staff, [...]
