The word is out
In Portland, a Golden Age of Dining and Drinking (NY Times online) Great. Just great. Now every obnoxious New Jersey twit with a platinum card in their wallet is going to come to Portland. Thanks, New York Times. Thanks for ruining it for everybody. Back when I escaped from the right coast, Portland was this [...]
Happy Birthday To Me.
I think the best thing you can do for yourself on your birthday is to simply take the day off. Off from work, off from the cellphone. Off. I started the day by making breakfast and lunch (to go) for my sugar-baby (a.k.a Mrs. TheBachelor) and having an extra cup of coffee. Following a leisurely [...]
Software Update(s)
So I made the switch-a-roo and dumped MS Office of my system (safely archived on the original install CDs). Above you see a sliver of the Terminal, Activity Monitor (‘cuz it’s neat), Coda, Numbers, Pages, and NeoOffice. NeoOffice is there to do “heavy lifting” in case I run across some Office-y type function I can [...]
"Blue Plate Married Guy" doesn't have the same ring to it.
If you payed close attention to snarky comments and references to the “Blue Plate Betrothed” then you would have ascertained that I was getting hitched. More than one person has remarked to me “so now your going to have to change the name of your website”. No I don’t. If Fake Steve Jobs can continue [...]

If you don’t, it is a great opportunity to see the best salesman of our time in action. http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/s83522y/event/index.html?internal=g4h5jl83a You’ve heard the old phrase “He could sell [stereotype] to [ethnicity]“. Well he could. In all seriousness, if [...]
Search Results for Hobos
I looked up Hobo’s restaurant this weekend. We were meeting friends there for drinks, I needed directions. I searched for “Hobos” on Google maps. I saw an ad from Target, who apparently carry Hobos. How convenient. Apparently, also Hobos are a type of bag. “OMG do you see the bag that hobo is carrying? I [...]
Reverse Upgrading
I came across this interesting blog post about uninstalling MS Word and never ever using it again. http://stevenpoole.net/blog/goodbye-cruel-word/ It’s a nice read, though it’s basically a love letter to the new brand of hipster full screen anti-word processors like Writeroom and Scrivner. (These products seem nice for someone who a.) gets to use a Mac [...]
