You're killing me Netflix…
Let me start by saying, the best thing I’ve done lately is re-sign up for Netflix. Their streaming coupled with Plex and my Mac mini to HDTV setup is amazing. That said, I’m getting annoyed that some seasons of shows are streamable while others of the same show aren’t. Example: Seasons 1 and 2 of Dexter are there but the rest aren’t and the same goes for Californication. So...
i'm here! i'm here!!!

What’s the deal with American’s going apeshit over this health care bill? Guys, listen. Universal health care is pretty chill. It means people don’t have to get sick and die. More healthy people means a stronger economy because more people can work and work more effectively. It also puts less strain on emergency services, what with the preventive medicine thing...

I hate having an upstairs neighbor now.
The floors are so creaky and I can hear their TV. Just more reason I need to get out of here.

A chocolate coin company email’d me asking for a quote for a new website.
I told them my price, and they said “Can we pay in Chocolate coins? They’re better than real money, they’ve got chocolate inside too!”
This reminds me of that Trident layers commercial. “Of course you can pay me in new Trident Layers gum!”
I just read a headline on BBC, “Iran attacks US over Afghanistan.” My first reaction was that they actually attacked us, in a military sense. Perhaps that wasn’t the best wording to convey them speaking out against us, BBC.

There is a serious bug in iTunes
and it’s driving me nuts. For some reason iTunes brings itself to the front for no reason. It just randomly happens while I’m writing an email or surfing the web. There is no way I’m making it happen and it doesn’t happen on song changes or anything. It’s just completely random, but very annoying. Maybe I’ll give Songbird a try again. Fix this Apple, there is...
