Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Check out the image below. It’s a screen dump from my mail client, Pegasus Mail. This is the copy of the program I use at work. I use it at home as well, but this is my office copy only. Specifically, I want you to check out the number of emails in the sent folder. […]
Well, technically it’s still here, but it’s going to be come one of those things that will exist in name only. TV Guide will no longer be carrying TV listings. Uh, what’s the point of it then? Not that I’ve subscribed to it in awhile – it’s been many years. But isn’t a magazine called […]
Some time ago I updated my Palm Desktop software to the current version (4.14). I recently noticed that it has the ability to have multiple addresses per contact, so I set about updating my addresses so that they were properly in Work vs. Home. That was all nice. However, when I go to sync, if […]
James Doohan, who is probably best known for his role of Scotty on Star Trek, died today at the age of 85. There’s an obituary story up on CNN here. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s awhile back, and was in declining health for awhile. If you bought the third season box set for the original […]
Just read this morning where the United States is planning on changing Daylight Savings Time. It’s apparently part of an energy plan to conserve oil. The article claims that it will save 100,000 barrels of oil per day. What’s supposed to happen is that the “Spring Forward” in April will change to the first Sunday […]
Here’s another one from the “disturbing information about the electronic age” department.. Apparently, if you have about $100, you can pay a website and have them get a log of outbound phone calls from a cel phone. That’s fairly annoying. I’m usually not one to go around waving the “privacy” banner, because I feel that […]
I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan for a very long time. I bought the Wall when it was new, which was right around the time I started High School. As a kid when this was new, that album was very influential in my musical landscape. I’d heard of Pink Floyd before, but it wasn’t until […]
I’m driving home from work tonight, and I pull into the usual station I fill up at. I had just gotten my truck washed earlier in the morning, so I didn’t need to clean the windows. So I’m just standing there killing a couple of minutes when I noticed that little lcd display on the […]
I read this story this morning, and it signals to me the end of ESPN. Why? The article talks about having “less games”, and more original movies and series. That’s the exact path MTV started down ages ago, and now they’re completely irrelevant. Their name has nothing to do with their programming. If ESPN starts […]
This is not a review of the movie. It’s a few remarks about what happened when I went to see the movie – you can read this if you haven’t seen the movie, I’m not talking about the events in the movie. Well, I went to see the movie with the staff from my company. […]
