re: Mad Men Season 3, BSG the Plan, etc

Really pretty surprised at how good MM has been over the last two seasons. This one has been a bit slow going but it’s just the first two episodes. On the other hand, v little interest in BSG The Plan. AFAIK all this has happened before, so to speak.

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.

Regarding cath labs

The one thing I have learned from the last three weeks on the job is, you do not want to wind up on a cath lab table for a hemodynamics exam. Believe me. Do whatever you can to stay off a fluoroscopy table waiting to be catheterized. Exercise, eat a healthy diet, etc.

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 [...]

Excuse me?

Probably being baited here, but, as a resident of a Chinatown, I kind of take offense when I read this sort of thing:
Along with shopping malls, petrol stations and branches of McDonalds, the old China Town renders all of our cities boring and alike. It is nothing more than restaurant streets and fake traditional buildings [...]

Considering the lobster

By now everyone’s heard that David Foster Wallace is dead, by his own hand. He was an extremely bright light in contemporary American writing, probably made all the more brighter by the fact his life was so short. Take a gander at his essay, “Consider the Lobster,” for Gourmet magazine in 2004:
The point is that [...]
