Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
The iPhone has been out since last Friday. Everything I’ve read about it (and I’ve read A LOT) since last Friday has told me this thing would be a tech geek’s orgasm. It’s outstandingly pretty, the interface is everything I want. But Apple went and priced the darn things out of reach of most folks […]
I’ve been using Google Reader for some time now. It’s my preferred method of visting sites. In fact, if a site doesn’t have a feed for it’s content, I probably am not going there. I find it’s a lot easier to read information this way. It’s also beneficial in that you don’t have to wade […]
The season finale of the current series of Doctor Who just aired in England over the weekend. I rather liked it, but then again I’m a Who nut, and will like most anything they do. :) Anyway, the finale did seem to borrow a lot of “elements” from other things that have already happened. In […]
Today is the launch of Apple’s iPhone. It’s funny, two guys from my office today are heading over to a store not too far from our office to try and get one later this afternoon. There’s iPhone stories all over the web today. But this one irked me. Check this: Movie stars, who are accustomed […]
This will probably amuse the guy who made the image, and perhaps one other person in the world, but I don’t care. It made me laugh. If you don’t get it, don’t worry about it. :)
My company has had a pinball machine in its offices for about a decade. It’s a really great machine called “Scared Stiff“. The theme is based around the character “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”. As with most pinball machines, you can’t really get them anymore. Shame that they’re becoming such a rare thing. Anyways, since […]
You ever get so tired that your eyes hurt, and your body is aching, and your mind says “Look fool, go to sleep”, as your brain registers that it’s 2:30AM? But you’re not in the least tired? That’s where I am now. I should be asleep, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. […]
I’m a big fan of the band Queensryche, who tend to write a lot of politically charged songs. Anyway, their 1991 album, “Empire” contained a song with the following lyrics. In fiscal year 1986 to 1987, local state and federal governments spent up to a combined total of 60.6 million dollars on law enforcement. Federal […]
I’ve been a Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember. I won’t relay that story again, but suffice it to say I have comitted more pieces of my brain to retaining Star Trek stuff than I probably should have. One of my all time favorite episodes is The Immunity Syndrome, where Kirk’s […]
