Microsoft Products: Word 2007

Despite the fact that Microsoft has announced that it will delay the release of Office 2007, thereby demonstrating that they are really incapable of putting out their products when they say they are; despite the fact that the new “docx” files aren’t compliant with the Oasis OpenDocument format, and despite the fact that OpenOffice.org is [...]

Net Neutrality

The current bill proposed by Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), has failed in committee. Michael Grebb has a good story over at Wired about how the net has never really been all that neutral… certainly not in an attempt to dismiss ongoing efforts to prevent blatent segregation of information, but to [...]

Microsoft Products: OneNote

SimpleGeek has a great post about why he has left Windows behind that has me pretty nearly convinced and Mac’s OsX on my Emachine W3052 or my Thinkpad R31 is definitely a sexy thought… especially on the Thinkpad. You’ll find that most of us Thinkpad users tend be very, very attached to the hardware architecture [...]

Providence: Vanessa & Perishable Theatre

The same trip up to RI, I was able to hang out with Vanessa for a couple of drinks. By the way, Vanessa is really damn cool, y’all! And Perishable Theatre rocks! As much as, at the time, I felt miserable working as Perishable’s Office Manager, I loved–love–the theatre itself and what it stands for [...]

Providence: Jen

Listening to you sing… watching you play… talking of dreams and projects, creations…

It’s been 13 years since we’d seen each other and the years have added to both of our spirits in some good and some painful ways. The pure idealism and belief of our our late teens/early twenties may have become a bit tattered, or at [...]

New Theme

I have switched both LtL Sites to this new theme “Connections – Reloaded.” Thanks Ajay! While not perfect, I think it feels a bit cleaner and more contemporary than the previous one.

I promise, the next entry will be more interesting than my back and forth about the look of the site.

Actually…

What do you think of this theme as compared to the previous one (which you can still see here.) This current one is much more complex and I am not sure I can tweak it as easily, but then again, I may have to learn some new things in order to customize it, which wouldn’t [...]

all fixed.

After too much time and energy and cursing and realizing that I need to learn html.

Technical Difficulties…

Please stand by.

After upgrading to the latest WP version, I had some problems with my theme. This is a temporary one until I can figure out what’s up.

Ann Coulter is Evil

David Carr has a good article in week’s NY Times about Ann Coulter.

Tony Norman’s essay “If Ann Coulter’s a Christian, Then I’ll Be Damned” is also quite good. I don’t know anyone who actually likes her (the perils of an extremely limited social group: you think the whole world thinks like you), or thinks anything [...]
